Mowing Modulates the Biotic Filter of Expansive Species

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Management type and expansive species influence plant community diversity in complex ways. Overall increase of expansive species cover acts as biotic filter in reducing the alpha and beta taxonomic and phylogenetical diversity. However, the filtering effect is modulated by management type, being more intense under mown grasslands.

Forest Bird Abundance Is Linked to the Interactions Between Forest Characteristics and Species Ecological Traits: Implications for Forest Management

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Using extensive bird monitoring data from Czechia and detailed forest and species trait information, this study found strong interactions between bird traits—especially migration distance and habitat specialization—and forest characteristics. These findings highlight the need for targeted forest management strategies, such as coppicing or old‐growth ...

Using Serially Collected Specimens to Investigate the Potential Population Genetic Consequences of Reported Declines in Eastern Woodland Salamanders

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Biodiversity is facing global change at an unprecedented rate; understanding how species respond to this accelerated change is important to inform future environmental and wildlife‐related policies. Serially collected specimens from natural history repositories can provide a unique window into how populations change over time and highlight further ...

Specialized Feeding Behavior of an Endangered Primate Enhances Forest Health in China

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
The endangered black‐and‐white snub‐nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus bieti) exhibits a specialized diet on the lichen Usnea longissima. We proved that the U. longissima is harmful to trees and the monkey mitigates overgrowth of the lichen, as well as promotes its regeneration to maintain population, thereby promoting ecosystem health and resilience.

From Seed to Seedling: Constraints Imposed by Warming, UV‐B, and Burial Depth on Alpine Cushion Plant Recruitment

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study investigated the effects of warming temperatures, intense UV‐B radiation, and seed burial depth on seedling emergence, growth, and survival of 11 cushion plant species in alpine subnival zones of the Himalaya‐Hengduan Mountains. Deep burial (> 1 cm) severely inhibited emergence in 10 species, with viability loss within 3 months.
