Wood Decomposition in European Rivers Increases With Temperature but Decreases With Human Population Density

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We investigated wood decomposition in rivers across seven catchments and 72 river locations in Europe and found that temperature was the main driver of decomposition rate, with a predicted 4.3% increase per 1°C rise in mean annual temperature. However, climate‐change induced increases in mean annual precipitation and an increased human population ...

Variations in Sexual Size Dimorphism in Two Anurans Along an Urbanization Gradient in Shanghai: Assessment of Rensch's Rule

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Variations in sexual size dimorphism (SSD) have important consequences for animal ecology, behavior, population dynamics, and the evolution of life‐history traits, and can be explained by many intraspecific and interpopulation hypotheses. Urbanization is an important factor that affects anuran phenotypic characteristics (including morphology),

Urbanisation Favours Ground Beetle (Carabidae) Species That Prefer Dry Soils and Have Reduced Dispersal Capacity

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Species' responses to urbanisation can be associated with their functional traits, with species possessing traits that allow them to reduce or overcome the challenges associated with urbanisation expected to exist in greater densities in urban areas.

Low sediment retention efficiency limits delta formation in tectonically confined high‐energy coastal systems

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
Conceptual framework showing how tectonic confinement, steep monsoon‐driven river dynamics, high‐energy coastal processes and offshore sediment dispersal together limit sediment retention at the Narmada–Tapi river mouths, suppressing sustained subaerial delta formation despite high sediment supply. Abstract Although deltaic growth is commonly linked to

The influence of ex‐tropical cyclones on marine terrace retreat

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
Ex‐tropical cyclones can damage the integrity of marine terrace structures and contribute to erosion, but they are sometimes too infrequent to explain the longer term erosion rates of coastlines. Abstract High magnitude events, like Ex‐Tropical Cyclones, are likely to change in their trajectory, magnitude, and frequency under future climate change ...
