Vegetation trajectories over 150 years of temporary ponds created in the Camargue delta (Southern France)

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Temporary ponds in the Mediterranean climate have a high conservation value, but many have been severely destroyed or degraded. Pond restoration and new pond creation have been engaged widely. Evaluations of the success of such operations are generally carried out over 10–15 years and show divergent results over this timeframe. In

Return of the ants: investigating temporal and spatial patterns of ant colonization in unsealed schoolyards

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Urban soil unsealing, the removal of impervious surface layers, is increasingly promoted as a habitat restoration strategy to enhance ecosystem resilience in cities. Yet, its potential to support soil biodiversity from the onset remains underexplored.

Colonisation History of Freshwater Snails Across the Atlantic and Mediterranean Islands: Insights From Mercuria (Littorinimorpha, Hydrobiidae)

open access: yesZoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Islands harbour unique biodiversity, and depending on their geological origin, they have fundamentally different colonisation histories: continental islands may contain relict faunas shaped by vicariance and sporadic gene flow, whereas oceanic islands must have been colonised across open seas, often through long‐distance dispersal events ...

Digitalising biodiversity: Exploring perceptions on risks and opportunities

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1366-1377, July 2026.
Digitalisation is transforming biodiversity conservation, offering new opportunities for research, governance and public engagement. Herbarium digitisation, for example, enables large‐scale access to plant data, supporting conservation, restoration and sustainable use.

Prendre les espaces de temps pour maîtriser les impacts diffus générés par les grandes infrastructures de transport terrestre (ITT) sur la biodiversité

open access: yes, 2015
Les grandes Infrastructures de Transport Terrestre (ITT) génèrent de multiples impacts sur la biodiversité, depuis les premières transformations du paysage en amont des travaux de construction jusqu’aux effets de la gestion des dépendances vertes en ...

Detecting extirpation: A localized approach to a global problem

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1160-1174, July 2026.
The global biodiversity crisis stems from a cascading series of extirpations driving species toward extinction. Addressing this crisis requires methods for early detection of extinction at local scales, where communities can mobilize conservation efforts.

L'invasion de la fourmi d'Argentine sur les petites îles méditerranéennes françaises : quel impact sur la myrmécofaune ?

open access: yes, 2014
International audienceLe déplacement involontaire d'espèces est un facteur important pour l'économie mais surtout pour la conservation de la biodiversité. Ces déplacements, liés principalement au transport de marchandises, concernent particulièrement les

The spread of non‐native species

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1197-1234, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

Broad Fungal Compatibility and Seed Size May Facilitate Invasiveness in Two Asian Terrestrial Orchids Spathoglottis plicata and Arundina graminifolia

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Two Asian orchids, Arundina graminifolia and Spathoglottis plicata, are expanding into tropical regions worldwide, showing invasive behavior. In this study, we investigated the factors underlying their success. Both species—as all orchids—require fungal carbon to germinate, but S.

Spatial distribution of acoustic traits in bird assemblages along regional bioclimatic gradients

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Environmental variation shapes acoustic interactions among birds, creating spatial structures in the sonic signature of local species assemblages. Exploring these patterns at regional scales can reveal processes that segregate acoustic strategies along environmental gradients.
