Dietary Overlap of Sympatric Polyphagous Alpine Grasshoppers Includes Invasive Plant Species
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.The diets of three sympatric grasshopper species were compared using mandible morphological analysis, microhistological examination, and DNA metabarcoding of gut contents. Although mandible morphology differed across species and sexes, dietary divergence was not evident.

Current Protections and Future Threats to Say's Spiketail Habitat in the Southeastern USA
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Dragonflies and damselflies are important indicators of ecological integrity and environmental quality but remain underrepresented in conservation efforts, in part due to a lack of quantitative information regarding their habitat requirements. Species distribution models (SDMs) can facilitate conservation planning by allowing researchers to estimate ...

Reviewing and benchmarking ecological modelling practices in the context of land use
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.Despite habitat loss and degradation are the primary drivers of biodiversity loss, different conclusions have been drawn about the importance of land‐use or land‐cover (LULC) change for biodiversity. Differences may be due to the difficulty of framing a coherent model design to assess LULC effects.

Exploring perceptions of Italian urban wildlife on TikTok
People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1470-1484, May 2026.Abstract In Western cities, some animals are valued for their beauty, rarity or usefulness, while others are dismissed as unwelcome. This distinction reflects the cultural meanings attached to each species and frequently conflicts with ecological priorities.

Geography of race and income shape spatial data gaps in two national participatory science projects
People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1485-1498, May 2026.Abstract Context and Need: Participatory projects where people contribute geo‐referenced biodiversity data, like eBird and iNaturalist, are commonly used tools to enhance the data collection capacity for research, management, and environmental learning. Despite their utility, demographic disparities in participation, demographic patterns of residential

Large mammal recovery in the wake of human population decline
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.Human depopulation, particularly in rural areas, has contributed to the recovery of some large mammal populations. While recovery is generally good news for conservation, it can also lead to human‐wildlife conflict. We present several avenues to maximize coexistence in the face of further rural depopulation in other places. Read the free Plain Language

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1556-1584, May 2026.Abstract The rapid expansion of biodiversity data presents new opportunities to understand and forecast biosphere dynamics. However, disparate and dispersed data, taxonomic and geographic inconsistencies, pervasive quality issues, and a lack of reproducable workflows hinder synthesis, introduce biases and limit accurate assessment of biodiversity ...
