Two Closely Related Butterflies Show Pseudo‐Concordant Patterns of Geographic Differentiation in a Heterogeneous Mountain Region

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Phylogeographic pseudo‐concordance among species—coincident spatial structuring coupled with differing levels of intraspecific differentiation—has rarely been documented in heterogeneous regions. We report a clear case in two mountain butterfly species and show how the high density of spatial sampling and the integration of phenotypic and genomic ...

Genomic and Morphological Insights Into the Adaptive Evolution of Honeybees in Rocky Desertification Habitats

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Rocky desertification exerts significant selective pressures on honeybee morphology. Honeybees undergo adaptive evolution in 19 genes such as glycogen biosynthesis. Genes like GBE promote organismal survival under desertification. ABSTRACT Unlike traditional desertification, rocky desertification is a distinct form of land degradation characterized by ...

Unraveling the Evolutionary History of Snow Sheep (Ovis nivicola): Genome‐Wide Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Analysis Reveals Genetic Diversity and Clarifies Taxonomy

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study chronicles all described subspecies of snow sheep (Ovis nivicola) since 1829, reviewing taxonomic assessments by key systematists. Using genome‐wide SNP genotyping on 337 samples from 15 populations, we validate and refine subspecies classifications, revealing eight genetic clusters and proposing a new subspecies (O. n. ernsti).

Intangible drivers of tolerance shape human–elephant coexistence in Southwest China

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2763-2780, August 2026.
Abstract Southwest China is home to a small but rapidly expanding population of Asian elephants (Elephas maximus), whose growth has intensified conflicts with people living in shared landscapes. These conflicts result in substantial economic losses and occasional human casualties. This coexistence paradox—where conservation success leads to significant

Ecology of reintroduced Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep in Dinosaur National Monument La Ecología de Borrego Cimarron de las Montañas Rocosas Reintroducido en el Monumento Nacional de Dinosaurio

Wildlife Monographs, Volume 223, Issue 1, August 2026.
We synthesized GPS telemetry, genetic, and pathogen data to evaluate metapopulation processes in a reintroduced Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis canadensis) population in Dinosaur National Monument. We estimated subpopulation‐specific abundances and found 4 small subpopulations with high genetic diversity, partial connectivity, and ...

Genetic and phenotypic variation in wood tiger moths from the Caucasus: insights into male warning color variation

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1706-1718, August 2026.
Coloration serves several fitness‐related functions, including thermoregulation, immunity, social signaling, sexual selection, and predator avoidance. Consequently, color polymorphism can have a significant impact on a species’ interactions with its environment, including its relationships with predators, prey, and potential mates. The wood tiger moth (
