The spread of non‐native species

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1197-1234, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

Where water meets rock: Ecological niches and diversity hotspots of hygropetric beetles in the Neotropics

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 502-516, June 2026.
First continental‐scale synthesis of hygropetric beetle diversity and distribution across Neotropical highlands. Climatic and topographic gradients structure regional assemblages and niche overlap. Ecological convergence suggests adaptation to similar conditions across disjunct regions.

Evidence of Pervasive Legacy of Land Use Change on Dung Beetles in Central European Grazed Grasslands

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study modeled the effects of livestock farming and land use change on dung beetle species richness and abundance in Austria and the Czech Republic. Using historic land cover data from the 19th century, we found evidence for extinction debt, showing that past landscapes better explained current dung beetle populations than recent land use.

Scalable phylogenetic Gaussian process models improve the detectability of environmental signals on local extinctions for many Red List species

Methods in Ecology and Evolution
Conservation biologists have a daunting task of understanding the causes of species decline associated with anthropogenic factors and predicting the extinction risk of a growing number of endangered species.

Studying interspecific population synchrony: current status and future perspectives

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Interspecific population synchrony, or co‐fluctuations in the population dynamics and demographic parameters of different species, is an important ecological phenomenon with major implications for the stability of communities and ecosystems. It is also central in the context of biodiversity loss, as interspecific synchrony can influence how ecological ...

Trends in marine species distribution models: a review of methodological advances and future challenges

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are quantitative tools in biogeography and macroecology. Building upon the ecological niche concept, they correlate environmental covariates to species presence to model habitat suitability and predict species distributions.

Non‐stationary forest responses to hotter droughts: a temporal perspective considering the role of past legacies

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Global change is altering forests worldwide, with multiple consequences for ecosystem functioning. Temporal changes in climate, and extreme, compounded weather events like hotter droughts are affecting the demography, composition and function of forests, leading to a highly uncertain future.

Reviewing and benchmarking ecological modelling practices in the context of land use

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Despite habitat loss and degradation are the primary drivers of biodiversity loss, different conclusions have been drawn about the importance of land‐use or land‐cover (LULC) change for biodiversity. Differences may be due to the difficulty of framing a coherent model design to assess LULC effects.

Freshwater fish functional diversity shows diverse responses to human activities, but consistently declines in the tropics

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Freshwater environments are intertwined with human activities and the consequence has been environmental degradation and biodiversity loss. Fish provide key ecological and economic benefits, and fish abundance and diversity can be affected by human activities resulting in functional diversity (FD) changes that might scale up to ecosystem impacts ...

Twenty years of dynamic occupancy models: a review of applications and look to the future

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Since their introduction over 20 years ago, dynamic occupancy models (DOMs) have become a powerful and flexible framework for estimating species occupancy across space and time while accounting for imperfect detection. As their popularity has increased and extensions have further expanded their capabilities, DOMs have been applied to increasingly ...
