Space‐use by feral cattle and horses shapes vegetation structure in a trophic rewilding area

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Feral cattle (Bos taurus) and horses (Equus ferus caballus) are commonly introduced to European rewilding areas to halt vegetation succession and to conserve light‐demanding species. Yet, we still do not understand how the habitat preference of animals shapes vegetation structure at the landscape scale.

Projecting spatiotemporal bioclimatic niche dynamics of endemic Pyrenean plant species under climate change: how much will we lose?

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Species distributions are shifting under global change, with mountain ecosystems among the most vulnerable. In such landscapes, the ability to track changing conditions is limited, threatening narrowly distributed species. As a mountain biodiversity hotspot in southwestern Europe, the Pyrenees harbors many such species, making it a key case study for ...

The New Space Race Era: The Exogeoheritage Challenge and Its Conservation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The escalating pace of space exploration has ushered in a new era reminiscent of the space race of the 1960s. However, the discourse on exogeoconservation—the protection of geological heritage—now demands a prominent place in decision‐making processes.

Qualitative Map of Geodiversity as a Tool to Identify Geodiversity-Related Ecosystem Services: Application to the Costões e Lagunas Aspiring Geopark, SE Brazil

Geosciences
Geodiversity mapping is a key topic in the field of geoconservation. Although most methodological proposals are based on quantitative assessments, recent studies on qualitative mapping have shown strong potential for various applications, including ...

Bridging Ecology and Geosciences in Riverscapes: Implications for Process‐Based Restoration

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.
In this paper, we synthesize studies that integrally examine geological and ecological processes across different scales and components of riverscapes, including geohydrological processes. Finally, we identify both scientific and practical challenges that must be addressed to bridge the gap between basic‐science implications and their implementation in

GEODIVERSITY IN HATIEN-KIENLUONG

Science and Technology Development Journal, 2011
Geodiversity may be defined as the range or diversity of geological (rocks, minerals, fossils), geomorphological (landforms and processes) and soil features, including their assemblages, properties, interpretations and systems. Hatien-Kienluong area contains some of the most important and diverse geological and geomorphological features.

Adapted to Deforestation? Eastern Tree Hyraxes (Dendrohyrax validus) in Crevices in Pare Mountains, Tanzania

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Extensive forest exploitation decreases ecosystem integrity and forces species to adapt to changes in their habitats. Following thousands of years of human settlement in the Pare Mountains, less than 3% of the area remains covered with natural forests.

The Overlooked Link Between Different Resource Partitioning Strategies and Plant Species Richness in Tropical Alpine Ecosystems

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Species coexistence is based on resource partitioning and modulates biodiversity patterns across climates, latitudes and altitudes. Resource partitioning can occur via niche size or separation in the geographic range or ecological niche. While resource partitioning promotes biodiversity, the impact of different partitioning strategies on ...
