River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 5, Page 997-1010, June 2026.ABSTRACT Ditches are essential elements of the agricultural landscape because of their role as habitat or refuge for aquatic species, especially in homogenized and intensively cultivated areas. However, data on the biodiversity associated with agricultural ditches, and its variation over time, are underrepresented in ecological research.

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1906-1920, June 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Human‐driven landscape change, particularly urbanization, is reshaping pollinator communities, yet the functional traits that mediate species persistence remain poorly understood. Dietary specialization is commonly used to predict species vulnerability.

Historical climate-change influences modularity and nestedness of pollination networks
, 2013 The structure of species interaction networks is important for species coexistence, community stability and exposure of species to extinctions. Two widespread structures in ecological networks are modularity, i.e.

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.Pollinator conservation in calcareous grasslands should prioritize enhancing local patch quality while promoting landscape heterogeneity, including woody SNH. To improve forage quality, our analytical approach supports targeted grassland management in selecting key forage plants, promoting complementary and diverse floral assemblages that support ...

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.Our findings show that beaver‐engineering significantly enhances local biodiversity across aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, even at sites with high land‐use intensity. Hence, beavers can effectively restore stream biodiversity across a range of urban to agricultural to natural ecosystems.

Under fire and heat: Managing mountain grasslands in a hotter world
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.Our findings suggest that, although plant community composition appeared resistant to direct warming, warming increased biomass, with potential implications for fuel accumulation and fire severity. Differences in biomass and vegetation among fire frequencies mediated the effects of warming on near‐surface microclimate, including soil and surface ...

Beyond species loss: Community reshuffling shapes biodiversity along the urban–rural gradient
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.Our results indicate that species turnover is a general ecological mechanism shaping vertebrate communities along the urban gradient, driven by taxon‐ and species‐specific responses to environmental and spatial features. Community differences primarily reflect habitat suitability rather than dispersal limitation, highlighting the potential of targeted ...

Graph tools for analysing trophic assemblies in the isotopic space
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 1910-1925, June 2026.Abstract A large amount of information on the trophic assembly of ecosystems is summarized in the isotopic space, and metrics for extracting this information are essential. Here, we show how the characterization of the isotopic space as an isotopic‐network of organisms linked by their trophic similarity significantly expands the isotopic toolbox for ...

Representation of obligate groundwater‐dwelling copepod diversity in European protected areas
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.Abstract Groundwaters sustain diverse surface ecosystems and are populated by metazoan species, mostly invertebrates, that provide fundamental ecological functions and are often of prominent conservation value due to narrow endemism and high phylogenetic rarity.
