Assessing multifunctional mountain landscape in an Eastern European framework
Geographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2026.The research introduces the Biocultural Resilience Index (BRI), a novel tool for assessing multifunctional landscape sustainability. By integrating biological, cultural, and socio‐economic indicators, the BRI identifies vulnerable areas and informs strategies for sustainable management.

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1359-1375, May 2026.Abstract The world is experiencing a biodiversity crisis. Steep declines in habitat quality and ecosystem services have resulted in interest in markets to help fund ecological restoration. One way that ecological restoration is assessed is through indicators of ecosystem condition, namely, a measurement of how different a landscape is from its ...

Applying the maximum entropy principle to neural networks enhances multi‐species distribution models
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1655-1670, May 2026.Abstract The increasing volume of presence‐only (PO) data generated by citizen science initiatives has greatly expanded biodiversity databases, but the statistical use of these data in species distribution models (SDMs) remains limited by strong sampling biases and the absence of reliable absence information.

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.ABSTRACT Understanding successional trajectories in abandoned lands is critical for predicting forest recovery potential in the Atlantic Forest, a global biodiversity hotspot. Over a decade of field monitoring (2014–2025) in permanent plots in the subtropical highlands of southern Brazil, we analyzed the dynamics of tree‐shrub components in abandoned ...

Evaluating Satellite Monitoring of Vegetation Health With Fauna Habitat Managers in Mind
Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 2, May 2026.ABSTRACT In Australia, pastoralists, not‐for‐profit, and government organisations are managing stands of open woodland to conserve threatened species' habitats. These land areas are usually larger than a cropping field but smaller than many National Parks in Australia.

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2026.Written Summary: Measuring energy exchanges between land and atmosphere is fundamental to understanding climate, but these measurements are systematically incomplete, with 20%–40% of energy consistently unaccounted for. Analyzing data from 84 sites worldwide, we show that carefully tracking all energy components and applying strict data quality filters

Bee community and trait‐based responses to fire in a Mediterranean landscape
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 530-547, May 2026.Fire drives a short‐term increase in bee abundance and diversity, despite its strong negative impact on floral resources. Acting as an environmental filter, fire shapes bee communities as increased post‐fire fine‐scale heterogeneity favors bees with specific functional traits such as ground‐nesting and generalist species.

Water availability and land‐use shape the diversity of Odonata in the Middle East
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 621-633, May 2026.Odonata diversity in the Middle East depends on the availability of long‐lasting waters, emphasizing the importance of preserving stable aquatic habitats for biodiversity conservation under climate change‐driven droughts. Agricultural expansion is associated with increased Odonata species richness, but overall trait diversity remains limited ...

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 3, May/June 2026.Spanish juniper woodlands are expanding across central Spain as farmland is abandoned. By combining 34 years of land‐cover data with high‐resolution photogrammetry and field measurements, we show that juniper growth depends on topography, solar exposure and competition with shrubs. High irradiance increases biomass in older stands but limits young ones,

A Systematic Review on Applications of Artificial Intelligence for Obesity Prevention
Obesity Reviews, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT This systematic review examines the applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in preventing obesity, addressing a critical public health issue that affects a substantial portion of the population. With obesity rates rising alarmingly, particularly in the United States, this review synthesizes findings from 46 studies published between 2008 ...
