Montane rainforest dynamics under changes in climate and human impact during the past millennia in northern Madagascar

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science
Although it is well known that humans substantially altered the Malagasy ecosystems, the timing of the human arrival as well as the extension of their environmental impact is yet not well understood.

Origins Under the Blowtorch: Frequent Fire Shifts the Balance Between Sunda‐Origin and Sahul‐Origin Plant Species in a Tropical Savanna

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We examined the effect of fire frequency on the composition of vegetation of different biogeographic origins, to understand how frequently an ecosystem can be subject to fire but still retain its evolutionary diversity. There was dramatic structural and biogeographic change in less than 20 years from dry tropical woodlands into savannas, creating ...

Efficient Automatic Pollen Recognition From Fossil Pollen Samples: A High‐Resolution Example Record From Palaeolake Kieshofer Moor, Northeastern Germany

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We applied the two‐stage, AI‐based TOFSI approach to test automatic pollen recognition with fossil pollen samples. The algorithm performs very well for all major pollen types and other non‐pollen object classes, suggesting that such tools have the potential to substantially increase the efficiency of pollen analysis.

Resilience and plant growth forms 40 years after a volcanic disturbance

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Resilience represents a critical concept in ecology; yet, quantitative assessment of resilience in response to disturbance is rare, even for widely recognized growth forms. Plant groups based on deciduousness, clonality, morphology, and Raunkiaer life form could predict inertia to major disturbances and subsequent resilience.

Exploring the Potential of Serpulid External Tube Morphology for Rapid Grouping Assessment in Ecological Research: A Case Study From Southern New Zealand

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.
In ecological field studies where species‐level identification is challenging, practical approaches based on external morphological traits may provide a useful basis for rapid assessments. Here, New Zealand serpulid worms were initially grouped based on their external calcareous tube morphology and subsequently sequenced using the 18S rRNA gene to ...

Ecology and Palaeoecology: Two Approaches, One Objective

open access: yes, 2010
5 p.[EN] Despite what their names might suggest, ecology and palaeoecology have progressed historically as well separated disciplines. This unfortunate disjunction is analyzed here from a theoretical point of view.

Closing the gap between plant ecology and Quaternary palaeoecology

open access: yes, 2014
Ecology and Quaternary palaeoecology have largely developed as parallel disciplines. Although both pursue related questions, information exchange is often hampered by particularities of the palaeoecological data and a communication gap has been perceived

The missing woodland story: Implications of 1700 years of stand‐scale change on ‘naturalness’ and managing remnant broadleaved woodlands

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1572-1587, June 2026.
Abstract Longer‐term perspectives—equivalent to the lifespans of long‐lived trees—are required to fully inform perceptions of ‘naturalness’ used in woodland conservation and management. Stand‐scale dynamics of an old growth temperate woodland are reconstructed using palaeoecological data.
