Patch and Landscape Predictors of Mammal Diversity and Their Trait‐Relationships in the Largest Atlantic Forest Island in Brazil

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Urbanization and habitat fragmentation reshape mammal communities on Santa Catarina Island, one of the largest Atlantic Forest islands in Brazil. Using camera traps across protected forest patches, we show that species richness declines with urban and unvegetated matrices, while abundance increases in smaller and more isolated fragments dominated by ...

Taxonomy and Functional Traits Modulate the Environmental Niche Dimensions of Crustacean Zooplankton Communities in Submerged Aquatic Vegetation Beds

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Community ecologists now recognise the importance of simultaneously integrating spatial and environmental processes, together with functional traits and phylogeny to provide a more complete understanding of community responses to environmental conditions.

Spatial Autocorrelation of Species Diversity and Distributions in Time and Across Spatial Scales

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Spatial autocorrelation (SAC), also known as aggregation or clumping, reflects species niche and dispersal, has conservation significance, and affects ecological models. Yet, we know little about the spatial and temporal patterns of SAC in empirical data.

Marine Heatwaves, Ocean Warming and Acidification Reshape Reef Fish Gut Microbiomes

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 5, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Extreme climatic events and gradual climate change are increasingly anticipated to interact and reshape ecological communities. However, the combined effects of ocean warming, acidification and marine heatwaves on host‐associated microbial communities and their potential role in host adaptation remain poorly understood.

Low abundance of phytophagous nematodes under invasive exotic Pinus elliottii – enemy release and plant–soil feedbacks

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 3060-3071, March 2026.
Summary According to the enemy release hypothesis (ERH), the fitness of exotic plants and their capacity to become invasive in their area of introduction may partly be attributable to the loss of their natural enemies. Invasive species may also benefit from modifying soil attributes and thereby creating a positive soil–plant feedback.

The effects of short‐term consumption of a Western diet on aerobic exercise performance in bank voles with inherently distinct metabolic rates

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 3, Page 930-945, 1 March 2026.
Abstract Because obesity and related diseases are partly attributed to unrestricted consumption of a high‐fat, high‐sugar Western diet (WD), several studies have examined its adverse effects on health and physical fitness. However, short‐term WD supplementation has received little attention. We asked whether such supplementation can improve the aerobic
