Influence of Geomorphic Disturbance on Phenotypic Species Plasticity and Vegetation Cover in High‐Elevated Belts

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Climate change increases geomorphological disturbances, which in turn affect vegetation establishment in high‐elevation areas; understanding species' responses to such disturbances is essential. We analysed vegetation across disturbed and undisturbed alpine sites to identify environmental drivers and assess species trait plasticity.

Embryonic Hormetic Priming Modulates Later‐Life Thermal Tolerance

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study investigates how early‐life thermal environments affect later thermal tolerance in the black‐lip pearl oyster, Pinctada margaritifera. Developmental thermal priming had contrasting, family‐specific effects on thermal tolerance, with conserved stress‐response pathways but evidence of priming‐induced regulatory network reorganization.

Primary Productivity and Habitat Depth Shape Developmental Mode in European Marine Gastropods

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Thorson's rule suggests that marine gastropods in colder, high‐latitude regions tend to have non‐pelagic (non‐drifting) larval development. However, this study on 94 European gastropod species found that the rule disappears when examined at finer spatial scales, with temperature and phylogeny having little influence.

Differential Susceptibility May Not Drive Chytridiomycosis Related Declines in Multi‐Host Amphibian Communities

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We investigated how Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) affects multi‐host amphibian communities in Tasmania, Australia. Despite differential susceptibility, we found no evidence of population declines in susceptible species, suggesting that current environmental conditions may buffer communities against Bd impacts.

Clinal Variation in Reproductive Modes and Offspring Body Condition Across a Contact Zone of a Bimodal Viviparous Salamander

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We examined clinal gradients in reproductive modes and associated offspring body condition across a hybrid zone between two bimodal viviparous subspecies of Salamandra salamandra. We found a clear cline in reproductive modes, with pure modes at the extremes and mixed modes in central populations.
