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 ...

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).

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.We investigated the genetic diversity and population structure of Seriola lalandi across the Pacific Ocean, including wild and captive‐reared individuals. Our results revealed pronounced hemispheric genetic differentiation and previously undetected substructure within the Temperate Northern Pacific, along with consistent differences between wild and ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.Using genome‐wide SNPs, we characterised population genomic patterns in southern greater gliders from continuous and isolated forests in New South Wales, Australia. Genomic diversity was significantly lower in the isolated population, which exhibited elevated relatedness and a low effective population size, while analyses of fine‐scale spatial genetic ...

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

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.Abstract Tolpis (Asteraceae) is a recently diversified genus of flowering plants, centered in the Macaronesian region, where it exhibits striking morphological variation and high levels of endemism. In this study, we focus on the archipelagos of Madeira and the Azores (Portugal).

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 ...

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 (

BIMr2: Inference of migration rates and their drivers from multilocus genotypes
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 8, Page 2330-2342, August 2026.Abstract Understanding how environmental factors drive recent migration is crucial for predicting species' responses to habitat change and for informing conservation strategies. There is one method available (BIMr) aimed at identifying the environmental factors associated with migration patterns using genetic data.
