Leaf Trait Differentiations Depend on Plant Size in a Modular Assembled Community of Evergreen and Deciduous Trees From a Degraded Karst Forest Ecosystem

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
In degraded karst forests, evergreen and deciduous subcommunities adopt contrasting resource‐use strategies. We surveyed 53 plots and found that plant size drives differentiation in leaf functional traits between subcommunities. These results highlight size‐dependent variation in leaf traits that shape adaptation to environmental conditions.

Revisiting the status of the Arctic's Last Ice Area as a refuge for marine predators

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The Last Ice Area (LIA), located north of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago and Greenland, has the Arctic's oldest and thickest sea ice. The LIA is hypothesized to be a potential climate refuge for ice‐dependent top predators as Arctic sea ice continues to decline.

The Age and Origin of Block Deposits in the Victorian Alps, Australia

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 37, Issue 3, Page 391-415, July/September 2026.
ABSTRACT Large periglacial block deposits are found in the mountains of southeastern Australia. Despite their widespread distribution, their mode of formation and age are poorly understood. These landforms hold considerable potential to shed light on the nature of cooling during glacial periods. In this paper we present a new study of block deposits in

The Effect of the Earth's Rotation on Wave‐Induced Drift in Finite‐Depth Water: The Role of Unsteadiness

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Wave‐induced transport in the coastal zone can play an important role in the distribution of nutrients, plankton, and pollutants including plastic litter. The effect of the water depth, unsteadiness of the wave field, and the rotation of the Earth on the wave‐induced drift is investigated in this paper. We derive a model for the time‐dependent

Lichen bleaching as a response to long‐term experimental warming in the High Arctic

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 2318-2331, July 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Lichens are an important component of Arctic ecosystems. Studies have indicated a decline in the abundance of Arctic lichens during recent decades, which is often attributed to competitive pressure from vascular plants.

Cation responses to global changes alter ecological processes in ombrotrophic systems

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 7, July 2026.
Ombrotrophic bogs, which store large amounts of carbon as peat, receive all their mineral nutrition through deposition, making them particularly sensitive to cation‐displacing global changes. Here, we review the limited yet compelling evidence that cation availability is a key determinant of ecological processes across scales of ecological organisation

Challenging and diagnosing structured population models by testing predictions from stochastic demography

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 7, Page 2234-2252, July 2026.
Abstract Structured population models are parameterized to accurately project expected population sizes, stage/state distributions and population growth rates, but they also predict the variation in outcomes among individuals, such as the variance and skewness of lifetime reproductive output (LRO) and lifespan, the probability of never reproducing, and
