From research to conservation: Site selection for habitat restoration of a narrowly distributed and critically endangered butterfly

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study focuses on the conservation of a rare butterfly in northwestern Italy threatened by woody encroachment. Using field data, topography, and remote sensing, we modelled habitat suitability and connectivity. A 0.6‐ha site was selected for restoration, illustrating how predictive models can guide targeted conservation actions.

Aedes albopictus and Dengue Transmission Risk in France Over the 21st Century

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
We assessed the impacts of climate change on the range expansion of Ae. albopictus and the risk of dengue transmission in France by 2085. Most of the French territory will be suitable to host this vector, while more than half of the territory will be suitable for dengue transmission.

Rare Caudal Regeneration Anomalies in Geckos Are Associated With Global Solar Radiation Gradients

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Morphological abnormalities may reduce fitness in wild animals, making them ecologically relevant for conservation efforts. Anomalies, such as a bifurcation or a trifurcation of a regenerated gecko tail, can change locomotion, social signalling, and predator evasion, with potential effects on survival and reproductive success.

Locally adapted Arabidopsis thaliana accessions show transcriptomic plasticity in a multi‐timescale analysis of whole‐genome gene expression in a natural environment

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1641-1656, August 2026.
Natural Arabidopsis thaliana accessions showed remarkable plasticity in both life‐cycle phenology and whole‐genome gene expression patterns in in natura field experiments. Nevertheless, local adaptation in fitness‐related life‐history traits can also be detected at the whole‐genome gene expression level.

Lost Gatherers in the 21st Century: Probability of Area, Spatial Behavior, Risk Factors and Vulnerability

Transactions in GIS, Volume 30, Issue 5, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Gathering activities have evolved from survival‐driven practices to predominantly recreational and cultural pursuits, weakening the connection with nature and potentially reducing navigational skills, which may help explain why gathering accounts for 8% of the search operations in Catalonia (Spain). A key focus of this study was the comparison
