Biome Specialisation in Squirrels: Phylogenetic and Geographic Patterns

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Habitat breadth shapes species' responses to environmental change and influences large‐scale biodiversity patterns. According to Vrba's resource‐use hypothesis, biome specialists (inhabiting a single biome) exhibit higher speciation rates than generalists due to increased population isolation during habitat fragmentation, generally ...

Moderate Seasonal Grazing During the Seed‐Set Stage Is Detrimental to Seed Rain and the Soil Seed Bank in an Alpine Meadow

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
We investigated the characteristics of temporal (different years) and spatial (different seasonal pastures) variations in species richness and density of the aboveground vegetation, seed rain, and transient soil seed bank under moderate seasonal grazing in an alpine meadow, Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau.

Spatiotemporal Diversification of Forest Understorey Species Reveals the Existence of Multiple Pleistocene Forest Refugia in Central Europe

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT During Pleistocene cold stages, European temperate forests were not only restricted to refugia in the southern European peninsulas. Rather, there is increasing evidence for the survival of trees also in isolated patches further north, termed ‘northern refugia’.

Yes, we CAM! First evidence of CAM photosynthesis in a carnivorous plant

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 272-281, January 2026.
Evidence for weak, facultative CAM is reported for the first time in a carnivorous plant, i.e., in Mexican representatives of Pinguicula (Lentibulariaceae). Abstract Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a photosynthetic adaptation enabling higher CO2 concentration close to Rubisco and increased water use efficiency.

Rehabilitated richness: biodiversity recovery in Germany's gypsum post‐mining landscapes

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2026.
In light of European and international mandates to protect natural areas in order to preserve biodiversity, all unused or abandoned areas become invaluable resources. We examined the botanical and structural diversity of post‐mining areas and surrounding landscapes across four major mining regions in Germany over a year‐long study.

How many cows are in the desert? Molecular phylogeny and species delimitation of the genus Gyriosomus (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Pimeliinae) from the Atacama Desert

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
The newly systematic rearrangement of Gyriosomus recognizes 9 clades, validates 21 taxonomical species and suggests 12 synonyms and 12 species candidates. Three taxonomical species were not evaluated. Polymorphisms, convergences and crypsis have been detected, and therefore morphology‐based taxonomy should be approached with caution. Ecological drivers
