Uncovering correlates of decline and critical refuges for a threatened terrestrial mammal
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.Abstract Globally, the geographic ranges of numerous species are contracting. Identifying spatiotemporal patterns of threat impact can illuminate why species decline in some parts of their range but persist in others. We developed a correlative approach to identify species’ response thresholds and locate ecological refuge areas associated with ...

Territorium: Revista Portuguesa de riscos, prevenção e segurança, 2006 Os incêndios florestais em Portugal são um tema sobre o qual todos temos opinião formada, quase sempre baseada em relatos veiculados pela comunicação social e que, nem sempre, ajudam a uma correcta percepção de realidade e da dimensão do problema.

When tradition burns: Misinterpreting prescribed fire across the science–society gap in Iberia
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.Prescribed fire is a scientifically grounded management tool whose benefits depend on specific ecological and operational conditions. This Perspective examines how these benefits may be reinterpreted beyond their original context and proposes a framework to improve the translation of ecological knowledge into environmental decision‐making.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.We assessed post‐fire germination of Araucaria araucana in the southern Andes and found that seed viability and germination increased markedly (from 65% to 90%) between 1 and 8 years after a severe wildfire. Improved germination at longer time‐since‐fire reflects a recovery of reproductive capacity in this ecologically and culturally significant ...

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.Our results highlight that prescribed burning in sub‐Mediterranean pine forests does not affect their resistance to PPM in the short term, either positively or negatively, indicating that it can be implemented to reduce wildfire hazard without influencing forest susceptibility to future PPM outbreaks.
