The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Geological processes shaping freshwater biodiversity: a synthesis of global evidence

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1568-1581, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Recent genomic data highlight the key roles of geological processes in shaping the diversification and biogeography of freshwater lineages. Specifically, physical processes such as tectonic uplift, erosion, glaciation, lake formation, and sea‐level fluctuation contribute extensively to the evolution of biotic diversity within and among ...

Will the Mediterranean Sea Be a Cul‐de‐Sac for Marine Gastropods Under Climate Change?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Marine benthic gastropods remain understudied despite extensive historical records, limiting our understanding of their vulnerability to climate change. Using multi‐temporal species distribution models, we show that intermediate future climate conditions may trigger major habitat contractions for four key cowrie and frog‐shell species in the NE ...

Woody Plant Diversity and Community Structure Along Elevational and Soil Gradients in Betula platyphylla Forests, Southeastern Tibetan Plateau

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study investigates the species composition, distribution, and diversity of Betula platyphylla forests in the Nyang River Basin in southeastern Tibet. The results show that elevation is the primary factor influencing species diversity in plant communities, with diversity indices significantly decreasing with increasing elevation.

Distribution, Habitat Use and Conservation of the Bornean Ferret Badger

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
The Bornean ferret badger (Melogale everetti) is an Endangered, range‐restricted carnivore whose ecology and distribution remain poorly known. Using multi‐site camera‐trap surveys across Sabah's western mountain massif combined with habitat suitability and connectivity modelling, we documented 407 detections from 60 stations, including the first ...

Complex History of Organellar Introgression in Nothofagus Trees: Chloroplast and Mitochondrial Capture Facilitated by Natural Selection

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Map of sampling for each species, chloroplast and mitochondrial genome phylogeny. ABSTRACT Hybridization is widespread across diverse groups of organisms, and in some cases, organellar genomes of one species become fixed in another following hybridization and backcrossing, a phenomenon known as organelle capture.

Temporal shifts in kelp forest structure and distribution largely reflect recent ocean warming trends

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Ocean warming is driving the redistribution of species at a global scale. Biogeographic transition zones are hotspots of species range shifts, as both warm‐ and cold‐adapted species are found toward contrasting range edges. While anecdotal evidence suggests some distributional shifts have occurred in the northeast Atlantic, the empirical evidence base ...
