Cajoling screen media students back on-campus – and keeping them there!

, 2023
Research shows that in today’s post-COVID era, “student engagement” at university has declined, and with it, attrition has increased. Like many universities, a cohort of students at the researchers’ university are dissatisfied with rapid online learning ...

Genetic Implications of Plant Sourcing Strategies for Salt Marsh Restoration

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Ecosystem restoration aims to recreate the ecological structure, processes, and function of a reference native ecosystem. The structure and composition of restored ecosystems often differ from natural ecosystems, at least in part due to human decisions about which ecosystem characteristics and functions to prioritize.

Evidence consistent with local adaptation to predation shaping stabilizing effects underlying local coexistence

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Trait divergence in resource use and susceptibility to predation can promote local competitor coexistence if such divergence generates demographic advantages when species are rare, producing frequency‐dependent stabilizing effects. These effects may vary spatially as populations experience different ecological conditions shaping species ...

Consequences of phenological shifts are determined by the number of generations per season

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The order and timing of species' arrival in a community can often change species interactions. Termed priority effects, this phenomenon arises in communities with drastically different life histories (e.g., bacteria, insects, and amphibians), yet how their life history traits affect the consequences of priority effects in seasonal systems ...

Evaluation of Adaptive, Productive and Reproductive Performance of Boran Dairy Breed in the Lowland Agro‐Ecology of Kaffa Zone, South‐Western Ethiopia

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
Boran dairy cattle demonstrated acceptable productive, reproductive and adaptive performance under lowland conditions of south‐western Ethiopia. Significant effects of parity and lactation stage were observed on milk yield and blood parameters, while physiological values remained within normal ranges, confirming good adaptation and potential for ...

Soil drying induces widespread productivity loss but unequal climate vulnerability among ecotypes of a foundational Arctic sedge

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 2301-2317, July 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract As temperatures increase in the Arctic, hydrological change may lead to local soil drying through altered snowpack, evapotranspiration and drainage due to permafrost thaw.

Phenotypic plasticity of invasive knotweed across Europe: A distributed common garden experiment

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 7, July 2026.
In a common garden experiment with 46 populations of the invasive knotweed Reynoutria japonica planted across three sites in Europe, we found little evidence for local adaptation, but consistent strong phenotypic plasticity (‘general purpose genotype’), with a more acquisitive growth strategy in the south and a more conservative strategy and change of ...

Outpaced by Drought: Weak Local Adaptation and Limited Potential for Drought Adaptation in a Deciduous Conifer

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT As drought impacts on forests intensify, evaluating the potential for adaptation is critical for predicting forest responses and the impacts of management strategies. We assessed phenotypic and genomic variation in western larch (Larix occidentalis Nutt.) populations to evaluate the potential for drought adaptation across its range.

Characterizing the Distribution of Oncorhynchus mykiss Genetic Diversity in the Klamath River Basin Before Dam Removal

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Genetic assessments serve as powerful tools to evaluate the effects of anthropogenic habitat fragmentation on natural populations. In the Klamath River Basin, construction of four dams from 1912 to 1962 had a profound impact on the distribution of anadromous fishes, blocking access to over 751 river kilometers of critical habitat.
