Disturbance‐Associated Plant Communities in Africa's Largest Alpine Ecosystem: Evidence for Long‐Term Anthropogenic Influence

Applied Vegetation Science, Volume 29, Issue 4, October/December 2026.
This study provides the first integrated evidence of long‐term human impacts in Ethiopia's Bale Mountains, combining modern vegetation transects with sedimentary steroid and bile acid biomarkers. We identified a sharp 200 m settlement edge and reveal sustained anthropogenic influence from the late Pleistocene, with pastoralism intensifying around 6.5 ...

Advancing Marine Mammal Conservation Through Omics Tools and Integration of Indigenous Ecological Knowledge

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 19, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Conservation of biodiversity is a global priority as human‐driven pressures continue to intensify and alter ecosystems worldwide. Marine mammals are vulnerable species, facing numerous escalating anthropogenic threats. Here, we evaluate how, as omics technologies become more accessible and affordable, established and emerging tools are ...
