Pleistocene Forest Stability Predicts Patterns of Frog Diversity in Central Africa
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.Using high‐resolution paleoclimate reconstructions, we quantified habitat stability for Central African rainforests across 257 time slices since the early Pleistocene. Stacked projections of forest‐dependent frog niches identify both a large, continuous refugium and smaller, highly stable forest blocks embedded within today's forest cover.

The Southernmost Known Population of the Monito Del Monte, Dromiciops gliroides
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.A range extension for a relict south American marsupial. ABSTRACT The monito del monte (genus Dromiciops) is a small arboreal marsupial endemic to the temperate rainforests of southern South America, and the sole extant representative of the order Microbiotheria. This lineage, considered a sister group of Australian marsupials, is of great evolutionary,

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.This study employs MaxEnt and GARP models to assess the impact of climate change on five closely related Ophioglossum species in China, which are primarily distributed southwest of the Qinling Mountains. Key climatic drivers, particularly precipitation and water vapor pressure, significantly influence their potential ranges, with most species' suitable

Preservation biases in the fossil record distort species ecological niche and distribution models
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.Ecological niche models (ENMs) increasingly leverage the fossil record to understand species' environmental associations and predict their geographic distributions. However, fossils do not occur uniformly through time and space, which can compromise the robustness of ENMs and thus affect ecological conclusions. Here, we assessed how preservation biases

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.A central goal of ecology is to understand spatial patterns of species densities. Habitat suitability estimates from species distribution models (SDMs) could be used to represent species density and overcome the scarcity of density data. However, there is mixed evidence that habitat suitability is a reliable descriptor of density, and it is suggested ...

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 1, March 2026.Modeling of current and future spatial distribution of Antarctic lecideoid lichens shows that warming will strongly increase the potential habitat. Under three climate‐change scenarios, most fungal and algal partners are projected to expand inland. Overall, climate change drives widespread range shifts and promotes colonization of interior Antarctica ...
