A Multi‐Factor Habitat Suitability Model for Asian Elephants in the Greater Mekong Subregion: Effects of Vegetation and Climate

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study assessed the combined effects of climate change and vegetation factors on the habitat suitability of Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) in the Greater Mekong Subregion. By integrating MaxEnt modeling with structural equation modeling, we identified plant distribution as a key determinant of elephant habitat selection under future climate ...

Habitat Utilization Preference by Small Mammals Is Associated With Geomorphic and Soil Properties: A Case Study of the Plateau Pika From the Eastern Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study, through a large‐scale survey, reveals a close relationship between plateau pika habitat use preferences and geomorphic and soil characteristics. The findings indicate that pikas prefer flat, sun‐facing terrain near water sources, as well as specific ranges of soil depth, organic matter, and moisture.

The seed bank created by the dung of large herbivores drives seed circulation in an alpine meadow

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Seed circulation (i.e., sexual reproduction) is vital for the regeneration of aboveground grassland vegetation (AGV). It occurs in several steps: seed production (seed rain, SR), dispersal (endozoochory, i.e., dung seed bank, DSB), formation of the soil seed bank (SSB), germination, seedling growth, and establishment of adult plants.

Functional diversity drives leaf decomposition across rainfall–disturbance gradients, but phylogenetic effects vary

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Plant functional traits driving ecosystem functioning can have either similar or distinct evolutionary histories, meaning that both functional and phylogenetic diversity can jointly influence ecosystem dynamics. However, the relative importance of this relationship depends on the environmental context.
