To Drone or Not to Drone in Search of Koalas

Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Effective assessment of koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) populations remains essential for informing conservation management, particularly in complex landscapes. We used drone thermal‐imagery and spot assessment technique (SAT) surveys to assess koala occurrence, density, and site use across 37 sites (696.07 ha) within a broader 10,271 ha study ...

Climatic and Hydrological Changes Drive Contemporary Fire Regime Transitions in the World's Largest Wetland

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
Long‐term fire data (1985–2024) and integrated modeling reveal a climate and hydrology‐driven transition toward larger fires, increased burned area, and a longer fire season, indicating the emergence of a new fire regime in the Pantanal. ABSTRACT Tropical wetlands have historically been resilient to fire, but ongoing climate and hydrological changes ...

Contemporary Environmental Drivers of European Plant Distributions

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Understanding the contemporary environmental conditions determining plant species distributions is crucial. Here, we quantified the relative importance of climatic, edaphic, hydrological, topographic, and land use drivers of the European vascular flora and tested whether driver hierarchies vary across species groups and ecological ...

Global Bioregionalisation of Invasive Angiosperms

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Understanding global patterns in plant invasions is critical for improving our understanding of plant biogeography and for informing conservation strategies. However, the bioregional structure of invasive angiosperms remains unresolved globally.

Drastic Biodiversity Transition as a Function of Rainfall Patterns: From Coastal Drylands to Amazonian Rainforests

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim By moving beyond traditional biome‐centric approaches to sample continuously across a massive ecotone, we investigate how species richness, community composition, and dominance of woody plants change across a strong longitudinal precipitation gradient and identify thresholds in water availability that drive shifts in community assembly ...

Local Species Loss and Retraction Across the Alps and Apennines: Recent Thermophilization and Diversity Changes of the Alpine Flora

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The European alpine life zone is a recognized biodiversity hotspot, currently impacted by warming temperatures. Here, we investigated temporal plant diversity changes and thermophilization processes on multiple summits' flora. Location Italy: six mountain regions across the Alps and the Apennines.

Multispecies Genomics Uncovers a Common Legacy of Postglacial Isolation on a Neotropical Land‐Bridge Island

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To evaluate whether Pleistocene sea‐level changes can explain the timing and demographic processes of population divergence between continental and insular plant populations on a land‐bridge island. Location Alcatrazes Island and adjacent mainland areas along the southeastern coast of Brazil.

Perceiving Vegetation From Social Positions: Discourses on Plants in a Mediterranean Landscape

Sociology Lens, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 362-375, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding how vegetation is perceived, named and valued requires attention to the social positions from which these perceptions are produced. This article analyses vegetation perception from different social positions based on qualitative research conducted in the province of Jaén (Andalusia, Spain), a Mediterranean landscape characterized

Large‐scale nuclear and plastid phylogenomic analyses inform an updated Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification: APG V

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, Volume 64, Issue 5, Page 845-874, September 2026.
This revision of the APG classification considers the extensive recent analyses of hundreds of nuclear and plastid genes for many angiosperm species. Although previous versions of the APG classification were largely based on uniparentally inherited markers (plastid DNA, largely maternally inherited), there has emerged since APG IV extensive evidence of

The complex interaction between mammalian herbivores, climate, soil and fire has shaped the evolution and distribution of plant spinescence across biogeographical realms

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 6, Page 3640-3655, September 2026.
Evolution of spinescence in mimosoid legumes. Summary The evolutionary arms race between plants and herbivores led to numerous plant adaptations, including spinescence. However, the balance between herbivory and abiotic conditions in the evolution of spinescence remains unclear. We integrated phylogenetic, geographic, and trait data for 2686 species of
