On the Limits of Alpine Plants: A Systematic Review of the Factors Behind Species' Elevational Range Limits

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This systematic review of 107 studies on the factors behind the elevational range limits of alpine vascular plants shows a persistent emphasis on upper limits and abiotic factors, especially temperature, while work at lower limits is more evenly distributed across water availability, plant–plant interactions, and selection/local adaptation.

Valuing indigenous biodiversity in the freshwater environment [PDF]

open access: yes
Biosecurity incursion response decisions require timely, high quality information involving science and economics. The value of the impact on indigenous biodiversity is a key aspect of the economics typically involving cost-benefit analysis.

Multiscale Threats Shape the Occurrence Dynamics of a Threatened Aquatic Salamander and Reveal a Possible Extinction Debt

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
The Neuse River Waterdog (Necturus lewisi) is a threatened large aquatic salamander endemic to North Carolina, USA. Site‐specific habitat quality, the proportion of developed landcover in the watershed, and annual drought intensity operate in concert to drive the species' occurrence dynamics.

Applying Environmental DNA Metabarcoding to Calculate an Index of Biotic Integrity for Freshwater Fish

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
We used eDNA metabarcoding to calculate a fish‐based IBI and compared our eDNA‐IBI to a previously implemented fish‐IBI for the Tennessee River basin in northern Alabama. We found significant, positive relationships between the eDNA‐IBI and fish‐IBI, but we discuss how future directions may improve eDNA‐IBIs.

A Freshwater Pearl Mussel Polysaccharide Alleviates Inflammatory Pain by Targeting Peripheral Cytokines and Spinal Astroglial NLRP3/GFAP Responses

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Mussel polysaccharide (MP), a novel food resource from pearl mussels, alleviates inflammatory pain in rats in a dose‐dependent manner. It acts by dually inhibiting peripheral inflammation (reducing paw swelling and pro‐inflammatory cytokines) and spinal neuroinflammation via the NLRP3 and astrocyte pathway.
