Who Is Paying the Extinction Debt? Phylogenetic and Functional Structuring on Greek Islands Is Shaped by Sea‐Level Rise Since the Last Glacial Maximum

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Since the Last Glacial Maximum, sea‐level rise has isolated, fragmented, and shrunk islands, supersaturating squamate communities and triggering ongoing community relaxation. Integrating a paleo‐coastline model with community data from 163 islands, we show that phylogenetic overdispersion dominates insular squamate communities and increases with island

A Tale of Tail Loss: Fine‐Scale Landscape Composition Predicts Caudal Autotomy Along an Urban Gradient in Two Congeneric Lizards

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Human‐modified landscapes can alter predator–prey interactions, but the spatial scale at which landscape features influence these interactions remains unclear. We examined variation in tail autotomy, a proxy for predation pressure, in two synanthropic lizards across urban gradients.

Shrub Encroachment Rewires Microbial Networks to Suppress Soil Organic Carbon Mineralization in Subalpine Meadows

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Shrub encroachment in subalpine meadows reduces soil organic carbon (SOC) mineralization rates and its temperature sensitivity (Q10), particularly in surface soil. This shift is driven by soil acidification, increased stable carbon content, and altered microbial network interactions.

A Comparison of Nest Structure and Materials in Three Species of Penduline Tits (Remiz spp.)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
We present the first quantitative descriptions of nest structural parameters and material composition for the White‐crowned and Black‐headed Penduline Tits. We further conducted a comparative analysis of nest architecture and materials in three penduline tit species (Remiz consobrinus, R. coronatus, and R.
