Evolutionary constraints in host shifts: Limited adaptation of Plutella xylostella to cardenolide‐defended Erysimum cheiranthoides

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 501-516, February 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Coevolutionary arms races between plants and insects, in which gains of novel plant defences select for counteradaptations in herbivores, are key drivers of biodiversity.

Identifying Key Biodiversity Areas Based on Distinct Genetic Diversity

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) are sites that contribute significantly to the global persistence of biodiversity. Distinct genetic diversity has been introduced as one of the metrics to estimate whether a site holds a threshold proportion of a species' global genetic diversity during the KBA identification process.

Pathogenic Variants in Mennonites From Southern Brazil: Implications for Preventive Measures in Public Health

Clinical Genetics, Volume 109, Issue 2, Page 266-276, February 2026.
In 325 exomes of South Brazilian Mennonites, we identified 23 pathogenic variants (P) and 27 likely P, with founder effects identified for 96% of P, whose frequencies differed from non‐Finnish Europeans, Amish, and Brazilian populations. ABSTRACT The Mennonite population has a unique history of 500 years of genetic isolation shaped by at least three ...

Genetic origins and climate‐induced erosion in economically important Asian walnuts

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract The global climate is undergoing unprecedented changes, posing significant threats to species persistence. However, the spatiotemporal impacts on genetic diversity remain poorly understood, hindering species conservation and management. Walnuts, generally referred to as Juglans regia and J. sigillata, are economically vital in Asia, but little

Survival, rarity, and extinction in tropical stony corals

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Many reef‐building tropical corals are becoming rare. We considered the meaning of rarity in corals and highlighted taxa that have reached low abundances in the last few decades. The difficulties of quantifying rarity in the marine environment arise from the sheer scale and 3‐dimensional nature of the biome and the inherent challenges therein ...

Using constructed value of information to identify key uncertainties for a decision tree analysis in iterative structured decision making

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
Conservation decisions are sometimes delayed due to pervasive uncertainty and the perception that more information is needed before acting, but postponing decisions can be costly. We propose that using constructed value of information within an iterative structured decision‐making process can help identify key uncertainties that can subsequently be ...

Landscape‐Driven Isolation Among, but High Genetic Diversity Within, Peripheral Populations of a Threatened Frog

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Many amphibians are experiencing declines, which are exacerbated for populations near range edges. To inform conservation strategies, we sampled sites of Blanchard's Cricket Frog (Acris blanchardi) at the northern periphery of their range to determine if modern declines are associated with genetic factors, delineate management units, and ...

Domestication‐Admixed Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) Establish a Productive Population in the Wild

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 2, February 2026.
We document colonisation of a river by highly (average 37%) domestication‐admixed salmon using genomic and phenotypic data. The resulting population now displays freshwater and marine productivity within ranges observed in wild populations. Our data demonstrate that domestication‐admixed individuals can rapidly establish populations in the wild, likely
