Biogeography of intertidal invertebrates is influenced by latitude along the west coast of Australia
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.Along the west coast of Australia, intertidal rock platforms support high invertebrate diversities that provide vital ecosystem services, yet patterns in diversity are not well understood. Here, we document and examine the invertebrate assemblages on intertidal rock platforms in Western Australia and delineate ecoregions according to assemblage ...

Tracing the origins and evolution of nymphalid butterflies (Lepidoptera) in the Atlantic Forest
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.Understanding the relative roles of diversification and dispersal is key to explaining large‐scale biogeographical patterns. Although both processes are known to shape biodiversity, their relative contributions remain understudied for many organisms. Here, we examine how these processes have jointly contributed to the exceptional diversity and endemism

Short‐Interval Fire and Climatic Drying Drive Shrubland‐to‐Herbaceous Conversion Across California
Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.Our statewide analysis shows that woody shrublands across California are undergoing widespread conversion to herbaceous vegetation. Using multi‐decadal fractional cover data, we show that short‐interval fire in conjunction with climatic drying and human influence is driving this transformation, extending a phenomenon previously thought to be limited to

Rapidly Warming Waters Drive Vibrio parahaemolyticus Abundance in a Northern Gulf
Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.Vibrio parahaemolyticus (Vp) has been identified as a highly responsive bacterium to climate change, with increasing outbreaks and human impacts as marine waters warm. We identified an increase in Vp outbreaks in the Gulf of St. Lawrence since 1998 which is associated with water temperature increases over the same period.

Marine Parasite Biogeography Mirrors Host Patterns Across Latitude, Area, and Diversity
New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.Parasites are integral components of biodiversity, yet they remain poorly represented in large‐scale biogeographic theory. In this study, we test whether marine parasites follow three macroecological patterns established for free‐living taxa, namely that parasite species richness: (1) scales positively with area (both host body size and geographic area)

A New Species of Arthropteris From Samoa
New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.A new species, Arthropteris samoensis (Arthropteridaceae), recorded from the Samoan islands of Upolu and Savai‘i, is described and illustrated. In Samoa, the new species is distinguished from Arthropteris palisotii s.l. by its smaller stature and more delicate texture (laminae mostly < 3 cm wide vs.

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.During recent field survey for threatened and uncommon vascular plants in Niue, four ferns were collected and confirmed as additions to the indigenous flora. Ophioderma intermedium (Hook.) Nishida and O. falcatum (C.Presl) O.Deg. were collected from terrestrial habitats in primary tropical forest.
