Detecting Land Use Change Impacts on Streamflow by Combining Field Data and Water Balance Modelling

open access: yesJAWRA Journal of the American Water Resources Association, Volume 62, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Over the last half‐century, land use changes, including deforestation, urban sprawl, and open‐pit surface mining, have accelerated across the Susurluk Basin in northwestern Türkiye. This study analysed how land use changes, damming and mining activities affected basin hydrology using empirical and analytical methods and the process‐based Water

Role of freshwater availability and terrestrial land‐cover change in the distribution of a declining, terrestrial, insectivorous bird

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Insectivorous, Afro‐Palearctic migrant birds provide cross‐border ecosystem services, but many are declining rapidly. The complex life cycle of migrant birds makes their conservation difficult, but understanding where they spend time during the breeding season can help indicate where those actions will be most effective.

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

open access: yesConservation 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

open access: yesDiversity 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

open access: yesDiversity 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 ...
