Ensemble Modeling Reveals Severe Contraction of Dhole's (Cuon alpinus Pallas, 1811) Suitable Habitat and Future Climate Refugia Across China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
The dhole (Cuon alpinus), an endangered carnivore species and one of China's highest‐level protected animals, faces significant threats from both climate change and human disturbance. Since the 1980s, dhole habitat has dramatically shrunk by approximately half, with the current main stronghold being the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau.

Impact of grassland contract policy on soil organic carbon losses from alpine grassland on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

, 2017
Carbon storage in the soils on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau plays a very important role in the global carbon budget. In the 1990s, a policy of contracting collective grasslands to smaller units was implemented, resulting in a change from the traditional ...

The Impact of Climate Change on the Spatial Distribution of Seven Meconopsis Species in China: A MaxEnt Model‐Based Predictive Analysis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We addressed this gap by evaluating the current and future distribution of eight Meconopsis species using optimized MaxEnt modeling and the WorldClim 2.1 bioclimatic datasets. Our research provides critical insights into the divergent fates of these species under future climate scenarios.

Eolian evidence from the Chinese Loess Plateau: the onset of the Late Cenozoic Great Glaciation in the Northern Hemisphere and Qinghai-Xizang Plateau uplift forcing

, 1999
On the basis of a newly-constructed record of magnetic susceptibility (SUS) and the depositional rate change of eolian loess-red clay sequences in the last 7.2 Ma BP from the Loess Plateau, together with a comparison of a record of delta(18)O values from

Predict Suitable Restoration Areas for Typical Vegetation Restoration Species on the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau Based on MaxEnt

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
It was first used in the QTP vegetation restoration species, mainly to provide a basis for species selection in different regions of the QTP now and in the future. Secondly, it calculates the ecological niche overlap and niche breadth to avoid the risk of interspecies competition, providing a basis for the combination of species.

Ensemble Modeling of Shifts in the Suitable Distribution and Ecological Niche of the Alpine Tibetan Medicinal Herb Corydalis hendersonii Hemsl. Under Climate Change and Human Activity

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Corydalis hendersonii, a rare alpine Tibetan medicinal herb, faces increasing threats from climate warming and intensified human activity. Using a biomod2 ensemble species distribution model that integrates climate variables and the Human Footprint Index, we predict that suitable habitats will remain stable or slightly expand under SSP126 but contract ...

Over three‐quarters of earthworm species lack protection in China, a crisis exacerbated by climate change

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Earthworms, as ‘ecosystem engineers', play a crucial role in regulating ecosystem functions and shaping community structures. Due to climate change, earthworms face severe survival pressures and extinction risks. However, whether conservation efforts targeting aboveground biodiversity can cover the long‐neglected earthworm diversity remains unknown. To

Glacial refugia, postglacial dynamics, and hybrid zones of Pinaceae in Eurasia captured from sedimentary ancient DNA

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Boreal forests cover nearly one‐third of global forest area. Glacial cycles have shaped the distribution and connectivity of modern Pinaceae genera, yet species‐level refugia, postglacial migrations, and hybridization patterns remain unclear due to limited high‐resolution taxonomic and temporal data. We applied a hybridization capture approach
