Combining Historical and Ecological Methods Provides New Insights for the Recognition of Biogeographical Areas and Their Relationships: The Case of the Gulf of Mexico

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Biogeographical regionalisation is an evolutionary system of nested areas representing the geographic organisation of life on the planet, which is fundamental for understanding basic and applied aspects related to the ecology, evolution and conservation of biotas and their habitats.

Effects of Ungulate Herbivores on Temperate Forest Understory Vegetation—Implications From a Large‐Scale Wildlife Exclosure Experiment in Central Europe

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Fenced ungulate exclosure (foreground) with unfenced control plot (background). ABSTRACT Question Ungulates play a key role in influencing understory vegetation and ecosystem dynamics in temperate forests. However, how soil conditions modulate ungulate effects on understory communities remains insufficiently understood.

Shifting in the shadows: Morphofunctional variations of Miconia sellowiana Naudin (Melastomataceae) associated with cave environments

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 441-451, March 2026.
Cave environments filter plant traits, selecting thinner, smaller leaves with reduced photosynthetic and vascular structures. Abstract Caves present unique ecological conditions that influence the distribution and adaptation of species, yet studies on cave‐associated vegetation remain limited.

Evergreen vs. deciduous species: Whose water use efficiency can influence the plant trait spectrum in the karst evergreen-deciduous mixed broad-leaved forests?

Forest Ecosystems
Unraveling the drivers of the plant trait spectrum is crucial for explaining species coexistence, especially in biodiverse ecosystems. Focusing on the Maolan Nature Reserve, a typical karst evergreen-deciduous mixed forest, this study examined the ...

Variation of the Start Date of the Vegetation Growing Season (SOS) and Its Climatic Drivers in the Tibetan Plateau

Plants
Climate change inevitably affects vegetation growth in the Tibetan Plateau (TP). Understanding the dynamics of vegetation phenology and the responses of vegetation phenology to climate change are crucial for evaluating the impacts of climate change on ...
