An Integrated Assessment of European Soil Health and Restoration Potential
Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Soils host a significant proportion of biodiversity on Earth providing ecosystem functions vital to human well‐being, making it imperative to include them and their ecological features when addressing sustainability goals. We performed a comprehensive assessment of soil health across Europe by explicitly integrating biotic and abiotic ...

Patterns of Freshwater Fish Vulnerability in European Rivers
Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT European rivers are home to more than 600 native freshwater‐dependent fish species, with nearly half of them raising some level of conservation concern. Tackling this decline requires prioritising efforts towards the most vulnerable communities, at a spatial scale aligned with river restoration.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.The study investigated how the horizontal structure and functional composition of grassland vegetation influence the occupancy and density of the highly endangered Hungarian meadow viper. Using plant community data and viper surveys from 59 quadrats, the best models showed that vipers prefer wetter meadows with fewer and shorter plant species, and a ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.This study integrates thermal performance curves with species distribution modeling to assess how climate‐driven temperature changes affect feeding efficiency across freshwater, marine, and terrestrial species. By mapping thermal habitat suitability and projected feeding‐rate shifts, we develop a priority ranking framework to identify species and ...

Stochastic colonization, transient and boom–bust dynamics shape invasions by native taxa
Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Boom–bust dynamics (BBD) is a population dynamic pattern described in invasion ecology, where a population suddenly increases (boom) before quickly declining (bust), eventually stabilizing at much lower levels. This initial outbreak is considered a transient phase preceding a long‐term population equilibrium.

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.This study aimed to quantify the spatio‐temporal use of breeding environments by the Eurasian curlew in 5 contrasting agricultural landscapes. To this end, 64 individuals were tagged with GPS devices to assess their space use according to their breeding stages and define their foraging habitat selection.
