Documenting biodiversity with digital data: comparing and contrasting the efficacy of specimen‐based and observation‐based approaches

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 2, Page 721-736, July 2026.
Summary Digitized herbarium specimens and iNaturalist observations provide invaluable plant biodiversity data. Combining these two data sources could create a more holistic representation of local biodiversity; however, understanding biases inherent to each is critical to determine how to best combine and utilize these data.

Behavioral Flexibility and the Conservation Value of Howler Monkey Populations in Small Habitat Patches

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 6, June 2026.
Standardized effect sizes of the relationships between predictor and response variables. Natural logarithms are denoted as “ln.” Open circles (blue outline) indicate mostly positive effects; solid circles (red filled) indicate mostly negative effects. ABSTRACT Species occupying small habitat patches and exhibiting behavioral and ecological flexibility ...

Mid‐Domain Effect and Wooded Habitat Shape Mediterranean Reptile Communities

Biological Diversity, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 65-82, June 2026.
Analyzing a large number of reptiles observed across protected areas in Central Italy, we tested whether the mid‐domain effect explains hump‐shaped richness–elevation patterns. Species richness was best predicted by the combined influence of geometric constraints and woodland cover, revealing two contrasting species clusters and offering a robust ...

Early evolutionary history of the seed

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1511-1553, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

Flower‐rich and diverse road verges support pollinators, but traffic speed limits the ecological benefits across Europe

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 4, June 2026.
Abstract Roads are vital for human societies, yet they can also have negative impacts on the ecological communities that live in close proximity to them. Insect pollinators, which nest and forage in road verges running alongside roads, are a group of particular importance.

Configurational Fragility of Forest Landscapes Under Multiple Anthropic Uses

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study revealed that 72.2% of forest fragments and 96.1% of savannas have high configurational fragility, with a predominance of High III and Intermediate I sublevels and occasional occurrences of low fragility (Low III). Fragility is driven by pastures (57.7%), showing that landscapes with the same forest cover differ in fragility depending on the
