Exploring the role of coastal structures in shaping cold‐temperate river–estuarine marsh environments

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 50, Issue 14, November 2025.
Analysis of high‐resolution UAS models and historical data reveals that structure orientation and design strongly influence sediment dynamics in low‐energy environments. Short and perpendicular structures can enhance marsh growth, while longer or poorly integrated designs may reduce sediment supply and destabilise marshes. In the St.

Modelling connectivity at a regional scale during seasonal movements of the greater horseshoe bat

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 9, Page 2163-2176, September 2025.
Studying pathways during high mobility periods is one of the main missing elements for effective conservation, particularly for small species such as bats. An acoustic, stratified sampling at both local and large scale provided sufficient spatial and temporal accuracy to model connectivity throughout the life cycle of bats. This framework can easily be

Leveraging Biomass Procurement to Mitigate Carbon Emissions at the Stand Level: A Case Study in Eastern Canadian Forests

open access: yesGCB Bioenergy, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2025.
The carbon emission reductions from using residual forest biomass for bioenergy remain controversial, despite its potential to mitigate climate change. This study evaluated how intensifying wood procurement for bioenergy, alongside supplying fiber for conventional wood industries, can support low‐carbon forest management.

Coupling in situ and remote sensing data to assess α‐ and β‐diversity over biogeographic gradients

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2025, Issue 7, July 2025.
The mapping of plant biodiversity represents a fundamental stage in establishing conservation priorities, particularly in identifying groups of species that share ecological requirements or evolutionary histories. This is often achieved by assessing different spatial diversity patterns in plant population distributions.

Opinion and report of the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) relating to an analysis of the health risks associated with exposure to caterpillars with stinging hairs and the development of management recommendations

open access: yesFood Risk Assess Europe, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2025.
Abstract Several species of Lepidoptera with caterpillars bearing urticating hairs are increasing their range in metropolitan France from year to year, such as the pine processionary (Thaumetopoea pityocampa Denis et Schiffermüller 1775) whose presence was historically limited to the south of France, and which is gradually being observed in the north ...

Tree species identity shapes the relationship between canopy cover and herb‐layer species in temperate forests

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 3, Page 582-597, March 2025.
This study is an empirical demonstration of the importance of tree species identity cover in shaping the distribution of the herb layer, surpassing the effects of tree diversity alone. By considering the significance of tree species identity cover, we can inform forest management and conservation measures, improve spatial prediction of herb‐layer ...

Towards a global understanding of tree mortality

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 245, Issue 6, Page 2377-2392, March 2025.
Summary Rates of tree mortality are increasing globally, with implications for forests and climate. Yet, how and why these trends vary globally remain unknown. Developing a comprehensive assessment of global tree mortality will require systematically integrating data from ground‐based long‐term forest monitoring with large‐scale remote sensing.

Invasion Dynamics of the Alien Amphibian Xenopus laevis in France: Perspectives for Management

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 34, Issue 11, November 2024.
ABSTRACT Background Invasive alien species (IAS) are recognised as pervasive drivers of global environmental change and pose significant threats to socio‐ecosystems worldwide. Although much attention is focused on prevalent IAS, the oversight of species that are still contained and approaching critical invasion thresholds raises concern.

Dominance and rarity in tree communities across the globe: Patterns, predictors and threats

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 33, Issue 10, October 2024.
Abstract Aim Ecological and anthropogenic factors shift the abundances of dominant and rare tree species within local forest communities, thus affecting species composition and ecosystem functioning. To inform forest and conservation management it is important to understand the drivers of dominance and rarity in local tree communities.
