Synchronous and Asynchronous Variation of Taxonomic and Phylogenetic Diversity During the Succession of Pinus kesiya var. langbianensis Forest in Yunnan, China

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Based on community data and the space‐for‐time‐substitution (SFTS) approach, this study shows that both taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity follow a cosine pattern during succession, with PD peaking earlier than TD. Community stability increases as niche differentiation strengthens, with competitive exclusion dominating early and late stages, and ...

Climate and microbial community composition drive shifts in ecosystem function along three parallel elevational gradients

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2025, Issue 12, December 2025.
Mountains are home to steep elevational gradients in environmental factors, biodiversity and ecosystem functionality. Though these gradients are tightly connected, little is known about the relative contribution of environmental and biotic factors in driving elevational changes in ecosystem functionality.

Why Hydrological Memory Dominates in Low‐Latitude Highlands: A Mechanistic Shift in Ecosystem Response to Extremes

open access: yesAGU Advances, Volume 6, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Understanding how compound extremes affect terrestrial ecosystems is a major challenge in Earth system science. Although the combined effects of stressors are recognized, the manner in which the prestress state determines the basic response mechanism remains unclear.

Traditional knowledge promotes the protection of large old trees: A case from China's richest biocultural diversity area

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 11, Page 2700-2713, November 2025.
Abstract Large old trees are important ecological entities in human settlements, providing cultural values and ecological services that are threatened by current and future changes in global climate, land use and disturbance regimes. Some studies suggest incorporating social and cultural significance into the conservation of large old trees.

Prey capture and meat-eating by the wild colobus monkey _Rhinopithecus bieti_ in Yunnan, China [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
If it is true that extant primates evolved from an insectivorous ancestor, then primate entomophagy would be a primitive trait. Many taxa, however, have undergone a dietary shift from entomophagy to phytophagy, evolving a specialised gut and dentition ...
