How to reduce sampling error in species population monitoring: from theory to methods

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Progress towards national and international targets to halt and reverse declines in species' abundances will be assessed using multispecies indicators (MSIs). A distinction must be drawn between two MSIs. One is the ideal, but unobserved, MSI that would have been measured had all species and sites within the scope of the target been sampled.

Latitudinal effect on the structure of snake–prey interaction networks is mediated by snake species richness

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Despite the growing number of studies on trophic networks in recent decades, there are still important gaps in our understanding of how these networks are structured across broad environmental gradients. These gaps are even greater in some groups of terrestrial vertebrates, such as snakes, requiring a cohesive synthesis of their broader trophic ...

Microclimate mediates the strength and direction of avian biotic interactions

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Theory predicts that the strength and direction of species interactions can shift from being competitive in benign environments toward being facilitative in stressful environments. However, the environmental context dependency of species interactions has rarely been tested in animal communities.

Phylogenetic structure of conifers in regional floras in relation to climate and environmental heterogeneity worldwide

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Despite having only about 670 species worldwide, conifers are one of the ecologically and economically most important plant groups. They have a rich fossil record and previous studies have shown that their current diversity is the result of past radiations, extinction, and dispersal events, restricting many genera to either the Northern or Southern ...

A global latitudinal decline in breeding site fidelity emerges from a single biome

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Species that breed in multiple years can either return to the same location to reproduce between seasons or disperse to a different location. Previous studies have shown that breeding site fidelity varies with species‐ and individual‐specific traits, but much of the observed variation remains unexplained.

Global distribution of avian plumage coloration and patterning: the relative influence of climate, ecology, and sexual selection

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Animal coloration exhibits substantial biogeographic variation, reflecting complex adaptations to both abiotic and biotic environments. Although the evolutionary mechanisms underlying avian plumage coloration have been widely studied, geographic variation in plumage patterning has received far less attention.

Differential skin microbiomes and disease outcomes in sympatric hosts despite similar infection burdens

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Amphibians are declining worldwide, in large part due to chytridiomycosis: a disease of amphibian skin caused by the fungal pathogen, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). Resistance and tolerance to Bd infection can exhibit intra‐ and interspecific variation. This variation may depend, among other factors, on the host skin microbiome.

In situ degradation of kelp detritus: Implications for coastal carbon cycling

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Marine macroalgae (i.e., seaweeds) are crucial components of coastal carbon cycles and may be important contributors to marine carbon sequestration. Understanding the fate of macroalgal‐derived carbon in marine systems requires an understanding of the degradation dynamics of macroalgae across environmental gradients. Therefore, we conducted an
