Rewilding beyond the wilderness: Beavers can restore stream biodiversity from urban to agricultural to natural landscapes

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Our findings show that beaver‐engineering significantly enhances local biodiversity across aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, even at sites with high land‐use intensity. Hence, beavers can effectively restore stream biodiversity across a range of urban to agricultural to natural ecosystems.

Representation of obligate groundwater‐dwelling copepod diversity in European protected areas

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Groundwaters sustain diverse surface ecosystems and are populated by metazoan species, mostly invertebrates, that provide fundamental ecological functions and are often of prominent conservation value due to narrow endemism and high phylogenetic rarity.

Joint Angular Excursions and Angular Range Utilization During Stance‐Phase Locomotion in Terrestrial Mammals: A Comparative Morphofunctional Data Set

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 4, Page 361-376, May 2026.
This study quantifies stance‐phase joint angular excursions and angular utilization (AUI%) during walking in 182 terrestrial mammal species. Across mammals, total limb excursion during stance (TAE) decreases with increasing body mass, whereas AUI% remains broadly conserved, indicating similar proportional use of summed joint excursions to generate net ...

Simulating drying and human impacts on river networks to evaluate biological quality indices performance through the lens of metacommunity theory

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
This work constitutes a first step towards developing simulation‐based assessments that incorporate catchment drying patterns to support biomonitoring of drying river networks. Our approach can inform stakeholders when current methods are likely to fail and contribute to decision‐making on whether adapting current methods is possible or developing new ...

Structural complexity and prey availability shape spider communities under retention forestry

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Our findings suggest that retention forestry practices, which maintain structural complexity through spatial and vertical heterogeneity, integrate deadwood and support diverse plant communities, may support spider richness and shape dominant ecological strategies while influencing predator populations through prey availability.

The Flooding Gradient Affects Seed Dispersal by Fruit‐Eating Fishes in Amazonian Whitewater Floodplain Forests

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
This research approaches the interaction between frugivorous fish and the flooded forests in the central Amazon. We evaluated the fruit consumption by fish and the seed dispersal potential along the flood gradient. We tested the hypothesis that the role of fish as seed dispersers varies between low várzea (LV) and high várzea (HV) forests.

A maximum temperature forecasting method for the city of Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul Un método de pronóstico de temperatura máxima para la ciudad de Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul

Meteorologica, 2005
Forecasting maximum temperature is very important for the population. In order to offer a way of forecasting this temperature, a method was adapted and tested based on the height of the layer with a dry adiabatic lapse rate.

A multi‐network approach to assess how physical templates shape stream fish ecological strategies

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.
This multi‐network framework identifies a continuous topological gradient of fish ecological strategies—comprising Dispersal Gateways, Integrated Connectors, and Mass Effect Dominated species—within the dendritic river template. The functional role of stream reaches is scale‐sensitive, particularly at headwater extremes where sites operate as critical ...
