Effects of landscape context on avian specialist response to increased surface temperature in protected areas

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Human development is a driver of global change and a major threat to biodiversity. Protected areas maintain and support biodiversity, but outside stressors, such as climate change and land use change, can negatively influence natural resources within protected areas.

Urbanisation Restructures but Does Not Reduce Freshwater Pond Biodiversity

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Urbanisation is a dominant driver of landscape change leading to widespread displacement, degradation and fragmentation of habitat for native species and numerous studies have documented loss of biodiversity in response. However, most studies focus on a small range of taxa (e.g., vertebrates, plants), leaving many other groups poorly ...

Urban Tolerance of Orthoptera Is Strongly Related to National Red List Status and Population Trends

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Quantifying the extent to which a species can tolerate urban environments is crucial for prioritising conservation efforts. By using a large citizen science dataset, we analysed the species‐specific urban tolerance of Orthoptera and examined how urban tolerance relates to Red List category, population status and population trends ...

Predictions From Evolutionary Theory for Urban Environments

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Urbanization drives rapid and extreme environmental change, profoundly shaping the ecology and evolution of populations. In this Perspective, we call for the integration and development of evolutionary theory and empirical research through collaboration between theoretical and experimental biologists to provide new insights into urban ...

Foliar Contributions to Methane and Nitrous Oxide Exchange in Urban Green Roof Systems

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 6, June 2026.
Biochar amendment of extensive green roof substrates enhanced foliar methane (CH4) uptake (~3×) and reduced nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions across native and stonecrop vegetation. City‐scale extrapolation to Toronto's permitted green roof area indicates measurable, management‐sensitive non‐CO2 mitigation within urban green infrastructure systems ...

The Social Equity of Spatial Compactness Varies by Context: Evidence From Belfast, Glasgow and Liverpool

The Geographical Journal, Volume 192, Issue 2, June 2026.
Short Abstract This paper examines the relationship between urban compactness and social equity across three UK cities. Using a multidimensional compactness framework and multiscale geographically weighted regression (MGWR), it analyses how demographic characteristics relate to spatial compactness at a fine scale.

Optimizing LID Practices in the Genoa Urban Drainage System Based on the Community's Call for Action Through Participatory Mapping

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper presents a novel methodology for optimizing installation of low impact development practices (LIDs) in an urban hydrological catchment. This methodology helps stakeholders in deciding on what kind and area of LID must be installed in each sub‐catchment to attenuate pluvial flooding as a result of intense rain events.

Application of Deep Learning and Rain‐On‐Grid Hydrodynamic Modeling for Catchment‐Scale Flood Forecasting in Guwahati, India

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This study integrates deep learning‐based real‐time rainfall forecasting with hydrodynamic flood modeling to provide near real‐time predictions of urban flood inundation. The research focuses on urban Guwahati, a rapidly urbanizing city in Northeast India prone to recurrent pluvial flooding. A novel hybrid model, Multivariate Singular Spectrum

Hybrid Hydrodynamic‐Machine Learning Modelling for Rapid Flood Scenario Assessment: A Case Study in Aotearoa New Zealand

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Flooding is one of the most devastating natural disasters worldwide. It is also expected to become more severe as climate change impacts are realised. Two‐dimensional (2D) hydrodynamic models are used to obtain reliable inundation estimations.

Rainstorm Flood Risk Assessment in the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor Under Different Shared Socioeconomic Pathways of the 21st Century

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Global warming has intensified the atmospheric water cycle, leading to more frequent and severe extreme precipitation events, which are a major driver of rainstorm‐induced flooding. Developing regions such as the China–Pakistan economic corridor (CPEC), spanning highly heterogeneous terrain and climate zones, face elevated risk due to limited ...
