Change in habitat over time for the rare, endemic Pediocactus paradinei

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Pediocactus paradinei is a rare endemic cactus on the Colorado Plateau that may be increasingly vulnerable to ongoing ecological and climatic change. In 2022, we resampled ecological monitoring plots originally surveyed in 2005 to assess changes in vegetation, habitat conditions, and characteristics related to pollinator habitat across the species ...

Generation Rather Than Sex Shapes Wing Morphology in Cydalima perspectalis (Lepidoptera, Crambidae): Insights From Geometric Morphometrics and Climate‐Based Projections

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
An integrated framework combining geometric morphometrics and ecological niche modeling was applied to Cydalima perspectalis to assess intergenerational morphological variation, test sexual dimorphism, and predict future distribution under climate scenarios. Wing shape effectively discriminated between generations but not between sexes.

Analysis of Priority Conservation Areas Using Habitat Quality Models and MaxEnt Models

Animals
This study investigated core habitat areas for yellow-throated martens (Martes flavigula) and leopard cats (Prionailurus bengalensis), two endangered forest species sensitive to habitat fragmentation in Korea. Overlaying the InVEST-HQ and MaxEnt models, priority conservation areas were identified by analyzing gaps in currently protected areas.

The Great Dividing Range as a driver of genetic divergence in a low‐dispersing dragonfly

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Population genomic analyses revealed low genetic differentiation and no discrete population structure across the Great Dividing Range, indicating widespread gene flow in Synthemis eustalacta. Genetic divergence was associated with environmental gradients, elevation and landscape resistance rather than geographic distance, supporting isolation by ...

Geographical distribution of the Pinnated Bittern (Botaurus pinnatus): Update and seasonal movement pattern

Ibis, EarlyView.
The Pinnated Bittern Botaurus pinnatus (Ardeidae) is a widely distributed Neotropical wading bird whose distribution and seasonal status remain poorly resolved. Discrepancies among published literature, citizen science records and the range currently assumed by BirdLife International indicate that both its geographical distribution and migratory ...

Landscape Characteristics and Distribution of Suitable Habitats for the Black-Tailed Godwit During the Non-Breeding Season: A Case Study of the Middle and Lower Yangtze River Region

Animals
This study examines the landscape characteristics of high-suitability habitats for the Black-tailed Godwit (Limosa limosa) during the non-breeding season in inland and coastal wetlands of the middle and lower Yangtze River regions, and seeks to elucidate

Distribution models of polysphinctine parasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) reveal sampling bias and flag potentially overlooked host interactions

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We quantified the geographical overlap between parasitoid wasps and their known host spiders. We could assess which parasitoid species have more limited information about their interactions and are subject to geographical survey bias. We generated sampling bias maps to assist other researchers in identifying where the main sampling gaps are.

Predicting habitat suitability of selected Meloidae species and future potential refugia: A case study from inner Western Anatolia

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Consensus habitat‐suitability maps identify current hotspots of species richness across the Inner Western Anatolian mountain systems. Late‐century projections (2081–2100) under SSP2‐4.5 and SSP5‐8.5 show range shifts and changing richness patterns, intensifying at higher elevations.
