Predictive evolutionary genomics: principles, validation, and practice
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Climate change and habitat loss are driving rapid evolutionary responses in populations world‐wide, which creates an urgent need for evolutionary forecasting in conservation and agriculture. Such forecasting can be categorized into three time scales: trait‐based models that use multivariate quantitative genetic equations to project correlated ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.We evaluated whether citizen science–derived camera‐trap records can be used to characterize large‐scale activity patterns of a widely distributed mesocarnivore across heterogeneous landscapes. Using 821 independent iNaturalist records, we quantified activity across six major vegetation types in Mexico with kernel density estimation, circular ...

Enforcing environmental law in the Amazon
People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 7, Page 2281-2294, July 2026.Abstract This article identifies the underlying obstacles to enforcement of laws against environmental crimes such as illegal logging, mining and ranching. With four departments (provinces) from Colombia as case studies, it assesses enforcement of the country's main environmental law, Law 2111, which is one of Latin America's strongest. The article has

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.Linking environmental pathogen detection with host infection patterns can improve surveillance of diseases involving environmental transmission, particularly where direct host sampling is logistically challenging. This approach enables the identification of areas of elevated transmission risk and supports targeted monitoring and management under ...

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 7, July 2026.Widely studied stability drivers such as plant diversity and functional composition have only partial explanatory power for short‐term drought resistance of above‐ground productivity in grasslands at a global scale. The abiotic context, particularly long‐term aridity, is crucial for understanding ecosystem responses to rainfall variation and can ...

Climate Predicts Tree Dispersal Strategies Across Brazil's Ecosystems
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Aim We investigate the distribution of dispersal modes—endozoochory (via animal ingestion), synzoochory (via animal seed accumulation) and anemochory (via wind)—and seed mass of woody plants across Brazilian ecosystems, testing whether their relative abundance in local plant communities could be predicted by climate, edaphic factors and ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.This study explores the spatial ecology of green turtles within the Gorgona National Natural Park (GNNP), providing insights into habitat preferences, movement patterns, and conservation implications for this vulnerable species in the Colombian Pacific. Ten green turtles were tracked in the GNNP using satellite telemetry, with tracking duration ranging

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.We present our findings from the first multi‐annual survey of guigna in Argentine Patagonia. We found that habitat use for guignas was negatively affected by the presence of co‐predators and open vegetation; conversely, it was positively affected by the occurrence of thick forests and the presence of potential prey.

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.ABSTRACT Mangrove composition and structure vary with soil properties and alterations in these conditions may result in forest degradation. This study examines how soil properties relate to mangrove structure across three disturbance states. The study was conducted within the Ramsar Site 1602 in Veracruz, Mexico.
