The Genetic and Morphological Basis of Local Adaptation to Elevational Extremes in an Alpine Finch
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.We investigated morphological and genetic variation in the Sierra Nevada Gray‐crowned Rosy Finch to identify traits important for local adaptation in alpine environments. By combining trait measurements with genome‐wide analyses, we uncovered loci linked to thermoregulation, altitude adaptation, and cold tolerance.

Boom‐Bust Dynamics Drive Community‐Wide Dietary Structuring in Desert‐Dwelling Raptors
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.We investigated how boom‐bust productivity dynamics affected dietary structuring within raptor communities of an arid bioregion. We found that higher productivity was associated with high dietary overlap, lower niche breadth and greater foraging on small mammals; however, raptors that were nomadic exhibited greater specialisation regardless of ...

Ecology and EvolutionDietary variation among cohorts can have a major impact on how populations adapt to environmental variation. Although variation in diet between cohorts and across habitats has been studied in many taxa, this is not true for most birds, especially smaller

DiversityThe degree to which Grinnellian and Eltonian niche characteristics influence species distribution may depend on latitude. Tropical regions are environmentally stable and resource-rich, whereas temperate regions are comparatively less environmentally ...

Case Report of Plastic String Entanglement Mortality in a Breeding Oriental Reed Warbler
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.Plastic production and use have increased markedly, concomitantly with rapid urbanization and development. Whereas birds and other animals use them as nesting materials, they pose toxicity and entanglement risks, potentially affecting survival and reproduction.

Ecology and EvolutionThe breeding phenology of birds is often timed to coincide with a peak in food availability. However, the shortening of the vegetation period with increasing elevation may force bird species at high elevations to breed earlier in relation to optimal ...

MoleculesIn the analytical quality by design (AQbD) framework, the design of experiments (DOE) plays a very important role, as it provides information about how experimental input variables influence critical method attributes.

Results‐based approach for biodiversity management at the farm scale: proposal for a new method
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 2, February 2026.We propose in this article to operationalize the concept of adaptive management by testing a results‐based approach to biodiversity management on a research farm located on the French Atlantic coast. We describe the project design consisting of the identification of several target species with their quantified objectives and the building of dashboards ...
