The Influence of Plant Species Composition on an Endangered Grassland Specialist Reptile, the Hungarian Meadow Viper

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
The study investigated how the horizontal structure and functional composition of grassland vegetation influence the occupancy and density of the highly endangered Hungarian meadow viper. Using plant community data and viper surveys from 59 quadrats, the best models showed that vipers prefer wetter meadows with fewer and shorter plant species, and a ...

Population‐Level Laterality of Ambush Posture in the Chinese Green Tree Pit Viper (Trimeresurus stejnegeri) in Northern Taiwan

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
In the Chinese green tree pit viper (Trimeresurus stejnegeri), we tested whether ambush posture shows population‐level laterality using 283 photographic records from nocturnal field surveys and verified iNaturalist observations across three regions in northern Taiwan.

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 ...

Telecological Collapse: The Inevitability of Climate Breakdown in the Transmedial Podcast Drama Forest 404

Future Humanities, Volume 4, Issue 1, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper presents a close‐hearing analysis of Forest 404, a transmedial audio drama that was released to BBC Sounds in 2019. Despite the drama's eco‐dystopian critique of teleological ‘progress’ narratives (that enable and perpetuate the destruction of the natural world), I argue that the series ultimately propagates a sense of inevitability
