Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.This study examined the foliar fungal and bacterial microbiomes of two co‐occurring invasive grasses, recently introduced Oplismenus undulatifolius and long‐established Microstegium vimineum. Oplismenus communities exhibited lower diversity within samples and greater turnover between samples.

Behavioral responses of black bears to human presence and infrastructure in Yosemite National Park
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.Using GPS collar data from black bears in Yosemite National Park, we examined how bear spatiotemporal activity in relation to human development shifted during the COVID‐19 park closure in 2020. In the absence of visitors, bears maintained consistent landscape‐scale space use but altered fine‐scale spatial and temporal behaviors.

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2701-2717, August 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Xylem anatomy underpins the capacity of trees to transport water while avoiding hydraulic failure, shaping species performance and resilience to climate change. However, the specific ways anatomical traits underpin hydraulic trade‐offs in tropical forests remain debated.

Climatic niche position predicts population dynamics in Mediterranean shrubs after drought
Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 8, August 2026.Climatic conditions closer to the species' climatic niche centroid generally resulted in higher population growth in two Mediterranean shrubs, but demographic responses differed between species and were further influenced by drought‐induced vegetation die‐off.

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 760-773, August 2026.Land‐use change and seasonality shape the taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity of fruit‐feeding butterflies in tropical dry forests. Pastures reduce phylogenetic diversity and increase wing fluctuating asymmetry, while taxonomic and functional diversity is greater in the wet season than in the dry season.

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT Objectives This study explores how perceived safety influences sleep quality among Wixárika individuals in Mexico. We compared the sleep quality of those living in a rural town in northern Jalisco with those living in the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area (GMA).

Bee community assembly is regulated by functional traits in pristine tropical forest environments
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 2102-2113, July 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Understanding the drivers of bee beta diversity across pristine environments in the Amazon is critical for ensuring biodiversity conservation, restoration, sustainable land use planning and economic development.

Mangrove expansion in a large river delta is dependent on foreshore geomorphology
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.Our findings provide guidance for large‐scale mangrove restoration, particularly in tropical river deltas, by identifying sites where (1) mangroves can potentially expand in the future, and (2) conditions are favourable for active mangrove seedling planting. The presence of a mudflat in front of existing mangroves is not sufficient.

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 2, Page 811-829, July 2026.Summary Reflectance spectroscopy is a rapid method for estimating traits and discriminating species. Spectral libraries from herbarium specimens represent an untapped resource for generating broad phenomic datasets across space, time, and taxa. We conducted a proof‐of‐concept study using trait data and spectra from herbarium specimens up to 179 yr old,
