Soil microbial diversity: The hidden wealth of sustainable farming

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract Soil harbors diverse microbial communities that are fundamental to soil health and agricultural sustainability. Despite their ecological and agronomic importance, these communities remain underutilized as biological resources for improving crop production.

What drives animal responses to high severity fire? The role of functional traits

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 6, Page 2613-2633, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Fire regimes are changing worldwide, with increases in the frequency, extent, and severity of fires posing growing risks to biodiversity. Fire severity – the degree of habitat alteration following fire – strongly influences both immediate survival and long‐term recovery of fauna.

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 6, Page 2716-2734, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 6, Page 2839-2873, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Land birds on atolls: diversity, origin, and function

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 6, Page 2920-2942, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Oceanic islands are global hotspots of avian biodiversity and endemism. Their isolation and distinct environmental conditions have uniquely shaped the evolutionary trajectories of island birds, while, in turn, land bird communities have become critical providers of ecological functions to island ecosystems.
