Eco‐Evolutionary Dynamics of Generalist and Specialist Pollinators Facing Plant Diversity Changes
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.We use a trait‐based eco‐evolutionary model to explore how changes in flowering plant composition affect interacting pollinators on short‐term ecological and long‐term evolutionary timescales. We find that evolutionary responses to landscape simplification, especially among generalist pollinators, may lead to a substantial loss of functional diversity ...

Dominant deer mice show the importance of abundance in competition
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Detecting competitive interactions is important for predicting species responses to environmental change but remains challenging, especially over large scales. Modern coexistence theory predicts that reduced ecological trait overlap promotes coexistence through stabilizing mechanisms, while fitness differences generate competitive asymmetries.

Distilling food web dynamics: top–down and bottom–up drivers of extinction and trophic cascades
Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.Quantifying population dynamics is a fundamental challenge in ecology and evolutionary biology, particularly for species that are cryptic, microscopic, or extinct. Traditional approaches rely on continuous representations of population size, but in many cases, the precise number of individuals is unknowable.

Local derivations and Rota-Baxter operators of quantum Lotka-Volterra algebras on M_2(C)
Gulf Journal of MathematicsIn this paper, we thoroughly investigate the local and 2-local derivations of a flow of quantumgenetic Lotka-Volterra algebras on M2(C) (FQGLV-A). The analysis is mainly geared towards understanding how specific parameter values influence the properties of these derivations.

Addressing ecological challenges from a quantum computing perspective
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 632-649, March 2026.Abstract With increased access to data and the advent of computers, the use of statistical tools and numerical simulations is becoming commonplace for ecologists. These approaches help improve our understanding of ecological phenomena and their underlying mechanisms in increasingly complex environments.

Noûs, Volume 60, Issue 1, Page 136-160, March 2026.Abstract It is well‐recognized in the sciences that a multitude of nonequivalent models are used by researchers to fulfill a range of goals, even for the same target system, a result known broadly as model pluralism. The possibility of the same form of pluralism occurring in logic, however, has not been adequately considered.

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.This paper introduces the Fractional Novel Analytical Method (FNAM), a Taylor‐series‐based technique for approximating nonlinear fractional differential‐difference equations. Built on the Caputo derivative, FNAM achieves rapid convergence without relying on Adomian polynomials, perturbation schemes, or transform methods.

Detection of Eco‐Evolutionary Dynamics in Communities Using Joint Species Distribution Models
Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 1, January 2026.Diverse communities in nature are structured by an array of complex processes, and it can be difficult to separate and measure their effects. To better understand species composition, it is crucial to consider trait evolution as an additional component driving species responses to the environment.

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 1, January 2026.Caculations of response diversity can be based on species fundamental responses in isolation or their realised responses in the community using metrics of response dissimilarity and response divergence. Combining model simulations and a meta‐analysis, we show here that community stability in the context of pulse disturbance is primarily determined by ...
