Soil drying induces widespread productivity loss but unequal climate vulnerability among ecotypes of a foundational Arctic sedge

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract As temperatures increase in the Arctic, hydrological change may lead to local soil drying through altered snowpack, evapotranspiration and drainage due to permafrost thaw.

Long‐term changes in functional diversity and its implications for mammalian conservation and ecological restoration in a grassland ecosystem

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Paleontological data provide information on natural environments prior to human influence, which are useful for tracking changes in ecosystem functioning through time. During the Late Pleistocene, about 10% of terrestrial mammalian species were extinct in South America.

Belowground effects of ground‐dwelling large herbivores in forest ecosystems

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reviews how ground‐dwelling large herbivores affect forest soil and litter globally. Effects are context‐dependent, vary among species and forest types, and remain poorly studied in tropical forests, highlighting critical gaps in understanding nutrient cycling and ecosystem functioning.

Repeated trends in altitudinal gradients of diversity: How habitat filtering and biotic interactions structure ecological communities

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reveals that tropical butterfly communities show remarkably consistent elevational patterns of diversity and phylogenetic structure across regions with contrasting evolutionary histories, demonstrating how regional species pools and local ecological factors jointly shape biodiversity along altitudinal gradients.

Asymmetric niche partitioning in large omnivores in response to anthropogenic disturbances within subarctic ecosystems

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic disturbances associated with mineral extraction influenced space use and activity patterns in grizzly bears, and to a much lesser extent in black bears, in a subarctic ecosystem, signalling an asymmetric response. Abstract Niche partitioning is an evolutionary process that allows the coexistence of multiple species in a landscape. However,
