Passive Acoustic Data as Phenological Distributions: Uncovering Signals of Temporal Ecology

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Passive acoustic monitoring has the potential to broaden our understanding of vocal animals' annual phenological cycles throughout and beyond the breeding season. We present standardized analytical methods for quantifying vocal phenology from passive acoustic recordings processed by classification algorithms, guided by clearly articulated hypotheses ...

Tree Profile of Littoral Portuguese Maritime Pine

open access: yes, 2004
Pinus pinaster Aiton is ecologically well adjusted to the Portuguese west littoral sands. The silviculture of this species in even aged, high forest stands produce tall, large trees, showing very peculiar technological characteristics. Within maritime pine stands, selective low thinning promotes the segregation of three main representative tree ...

Space Use and Movements During Egg Laying Associated With Nest Fate and Female Survival in Eastern Wild Turkeys

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We assessed behaviors of female wild turkeys during the laying period and evaluated impacts of those behaviors on nest success and female survival. We found that increased movements during laying resulted in a decreased probability of nest success but an increased probability of female survival during incubation.

Conserving Large Old Trees in Guangxi, South China: Diversity, Distribution, and Preservation Strategies

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study comprehensively analyzes the diversity and distribution of over 500 year old large old trees (LOTs) in Guangxi, China, identifying 2630 LOTs from 149 species with a notable latitudinal gradient in richness. Tree vitality was found to be highest in rural and natural habitats like villages and scenic spots, compared to residential areas.

Handheld Thermal Devices Can Facilitate Population Monitoring of the Critically Endangered Delacour's Langur Trachypithecus delacouri in Difficult Terrains

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study demonstrates that handheld thermal devices can effectively complement traditional ground‐based surveys for monitoring the critically endangered Delacour's langur in northern Vietnam. Fieldworks also revealed a population increase and reduced survey effort, highlighting thermal handhelds as a practical alternative amid drone flight ...

Where Dinner Roams: The Role of Feral Horses as a Resource Subsidy for Wolves and Cougars in West‐Central British Columbia

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
In west‐central British Columbia, large populations of feral horses overlap with native species like caribou and predators such as wolves and cougars, potentially disrupting predator–prey dynamics. Between 2019 and 2025, researchers documented multiple instances of wolf and cougar predation on feral horses—the first such confirmed cases in the region ...

Photic Niche Explains Avian Behavioral Responses to Solar Eclipses

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Most bird species—except for those that are adapted for activity under dim conditions—were less likely to vocalize during the maximum of a total solar eclipse, whereas an annular eclipse reaching only 90% solar obscuration did not lead to behavioral effects. ABSTRACT Solar eclipses rapidly alter abiotic conditions and thus represent natural experiments

Nutritional and Health Potential of Edible Seeds: Micronutrient Bioavailability and Mechanistic Insights

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
Their bioactive constituents act through antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, and metabolic‐regulating mechanisms, validating their classification as functional foods. Evidence from clinical and biochemical studies largely supports these benefits, although some claims stem from preliminary or in vitro findings.
