Seasonality and Grazing Exclusions Shape Bird Community Dynamics in West African Drylands

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Seasonal changes, more than grazing exclusions, shape bird community composition in the Sahel region of Burkina Faso. However, grazing exclusions enhanced habitat heterogeneity, supporting regional bird biodiversity and providing seasonal refuges that mitigate the effects of overgrazing.

Trends in marine species distribution models: a review of methodological advances and future challenges

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are quantitative tools in biogeography and macroecology. Building upon the ecological niche concept, they correlate environmental covariates to species presence to model habitat suitability and predict species distributions.

Non‐stationary forest responses to hotter droughts: a temporal perspective considering the role of past legacies

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Global change is altering forests worldwide, with multiple consequences for ecosystem functioning. Temporal changes in climate, and extreme, compounded weather events like hotter droughts are affecting the demography, composition and function of forests, leading to a highly uncertain future.

Powerful yet challenging: mechanistic niche models for predicting invasive species potential distribution under climate change

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

Meteorology and geography, more than biological traits, drive variation in frog phenology across decades

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The fate of a species is a function of interacting environmental and biological processes. Disentangling the roles and interactions of such processes can elucidate the breadth of possible responses to global change, for instance, the potential for phenotypic plasticity or trait evolution to rescue populations from climate change.
