Decadal Bowhead Whale Baleen Stable Isotope and Hormone Chronologies (1985–2010) Provide Insight Into Arctic Ecosystem Change

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
Long‐term chronologies constructed from individual bowhead baleen plates reveal stable isotope declines consistent with regional Arctic food web or productivity changes superimposed on global anthropogenic C and N inputs, while relatively stable hormone concentrations over the same period provide no evidence of a concomitant increase in physiological ...

Population Density and Spatial–Temporal Niche Use of Ship Rats and Italian Wall Lizards on a Small Adriatic Island

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We quantified population density and spatial–temporal niche use of ship rats (Rattus rattus) and Italian wall lizards (Podarcis siculus) on a small uninhabited Adriatic islet using spatially explicit capture–recapture, distance sampling, and camera trapping.

Contrasting Dispersal Histories Shape Distinct Evolutionary Trajectories Between Malesian and Pantropical Talipariti (Malvaceae)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Talipariti (Malvaceae) comprises two lineages with contrasting geographic ranges across Malesia: a pantropical sea hibiscus group and a Papuan group restricted to New Guinea and adjacent islands. Using phylogenomics, divergence‐time estimation, and quantitative biogeographical modelling applied to herbarium‐derived genomic data, we demonstrate that the

Biogeography and diversification patterns in the Irano‐Turanian biodiversity hotspots inferred from a molecular phylogeny of the subendemic Iris subgenus Scorpiris (Iridaceae)

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
The Irano‐Turanian Floristic Region harbors a rich flora, but our understanding of the development of this diversity is limited by a lack of data on phylogenetic relationships and biogeographic patterns of endemic and more widespread plants. Hypotheses of in situ diversification versus allopatric diversification were tested using Iris subgen. Scorpiris,

Limited connectivity of zooplankton communities across the Labrador Front: role of physical oceanography, insights from individual motility

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Near the western margin of the highly productive Labrador Sea, the Labrador Current creates a large and steep oceanographic front between the Arctic‐origin shelf waters and the Atlantic offshore waters (i.e. the Labrador Front), presumably segregating or accumulating plankton communities.

Dress for success: climate pressures predict fur insulation and body size in natural and reintroduced populations of a threatened marsupial

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Phenotypic variation in functional traits underpins responses to environmental gradients, influencing thermoregulation, energy balance, and long‐term persistence under climate extremes. Climate change is altering these gradients globally, yet in species that have already disappeared from much of their range, adaptive phenotypes may have also been lost,

Regionalización y relaciones biogeográficas de la Península de Yucatán con base en los patrones de distribución de la familia Leguminosae The biogeographical regions and relationship of the Yucatán Peninsula based on distribution patterns of the Leguminosae family

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2012
Se analizaron los patrones de distribución geográfica de 224 especies de leguminosas nativas de la Península de Yucatán (México) en 48 unidades geográficas operativas (0.5° de latitud y 0.5 ° longitud).

Balancing risk and reward—Perceptions of bats and their ecological role in Reunion island

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2720-2733, August 2026.
Abstract Context: Bats provide vital ecosystem services but can also generate disservices or sanitary concerns, particularly where human–bat interactions are frequent. Understanding public perceptions of bats is essential for effective conservation and risk communication.

Molecular phylogenetics of Thymelaeaceae‐Thymelaeoideae: Resolving the paraphyly of Gnidia and a new monophyletic generic classification for the group

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Earlier phylogenetic analyses of the family Thymelaeaceae using combined plastid (matK, rbcL, rps16, trnL‐F) and nuclear (ITS) regions showed that the African‐Malagasy genus Gnidia was extensively polyphyletic in relation to the southern African genera Lachnaea, Passerina and Struthiola, as well as to other Southern Hemisphere genera such as ...
