Male Mating Behaviour Is Shaped by Previous Experience of Both Conspecific and Heterospecific Females in the Seed Bug Lygaeus simulans

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
We investigate the effect of previous mating opportunities with con‐ and heterospecifics on the subsequent mating decisions of male Lygaeus simulans seed bugs. We found that males were less likely to copulate with both con‐ and heterospecific females if they had previously encountered a heterospecific female, and more likely to copulate with ...

Season, Microclimate and Shoreline Disturbance Interactively Shape Bird Functional Diversity

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study examined the seasonal and spatial patterns of bird functional diversity across natural and urbanized coastal sites in Ghana. We found that natural shorelines undergo significant seasonal functional reorganization, whereas urbanized areas maintain stable, generalist‐dominated communities year‐round, losing the temporal dynamics that support ...

Mitochondrial Genome Characterization of Six Spiny Crawler Mayflies and Comparative Analysis Within Ephemerellidae (Ephemeroptera: Pannota)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Ephemerellidae is a diverse family of mayflies widely distributed in the Holarctic and Oriental regions, comprising more than 300 described species. However, mitochondrial genomic data for this family remain scarce, limiting our understanding of its evolutionary history.

The local paleoenvironment of Kalavan‐2 based on small‐vertebrate remains and its implications for human‐environment‐dynamics between 60 and 35 ka in the Armenian Highlands

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 153-177, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Kalavan‐2, a high‐altitude (∼1640 m a.s.l.) open‐air site in Armenia, preserves stratified Middle Paleolithic occupations with a rich small‐vertebrate record. Luminescence dating has placed site formation between ~60 and 45 ka, but without independent chronological control of the microvertebrate accumulation.

Pruning for biodiversity: Drivers of cavity formation and use in Mediterranean holm oak woodlands

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
Our study emphasizes the role of both tree and cavity age in the long‐term establishment of cavity‐dependent vertebrates in holm oak woodlands. In the context of climate change—where holm oak trees are expected to replace more mesic, soft‐wooded tree species in the Mediterranean region—the persistence of cavity‐dependent vertebrate biodiversity will ...
