Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Climate‐induced shifts in disturbance regimes are reshaping northern forest ecosystems, where tree species are at their geographic range limit. Northern Canada has warmed over twice as much as the mean global increase since 1950, providing a critical context to study climate–fire–vegetation interactions under rapid warming.

Native earthworms and roe deer in temperate forests: Friends in the sun, foes in the shade
Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Given increasing deer populations and rising canopy openness through tree mortality in European forests, understanding how these changes affect above‐belowground communities and ecosystem functioning is becoming more important. Earthworms comprise the largest animal biomass in European forest soils and play a central role in decomposition ...

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 7, September 2026.Horizontal visibility, rather than concealment cover, drove fawn bedsite use and predation risk. Greater field of view decreased the odds of coyote predation, likely by facilitated by early detection. As fawns transitioned from hiders to followers, they shifted from using dense overstory concealment to more open overstory that favored improved escape ...

Relationships Between Overstory and Understory Tree Composition and Light Environment in an Old Growth Forest, Adirondacks, NY [PDF]
, 2013 Density of tree seedlings and saplings can be considerably influenced by light availability and the overstory canopy composition. We examined whether forest understory light environment could be predicted by overstory composition in an old growth ...

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.Forest restoration success depends crucially on the reinitiation of ecological processes such as seed arrival that drive natural regeneration. We know little about whether, by increasing and diversifying local seed sources to alleviate seed limitation, and attracting animal frugivores to alleviate dispersal limitation, restoration could shift seed ...

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 5, September 2026.Resource managers require accurate estimates of large herbivore abundance and demography to maintain ecological integrity. Common methods to count these species, including observations from low altitude helicopter flights, may conflict with other protected area management objectives and struggle to produce precise estimates for more cryptic species. To

Micro‐habitat selection by boreal woodland caribou improves access to food
Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 5, September 2026.Bio‐logging sensors attached to radiotelemetry receivers have great potential to transform our understanding of the ecological, physiological, and energetic constraints that shape patterns of wildlife movement under field conditions. We used video camera collars to assess microhabitat selectivity by woodland caribou Rangifer tarandus in boreal forests ...

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 5, September 2026.Understanding an organism's shifting resource needs throughout its life cycle is crucial for developing effective conservation strategies. Northern bobwhite Colinus virginianus populations have been declining for nearly a century due largely to habitat loss/degradation.
