How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2081-2102, October 2026.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

The Implications of Ungulate Population Dynamics for Conservation and Recovery Efforts in the Middle East

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Using long‐term population data from Arabian oryx and sand gazelle populations across the Middle East, we found consistent evidence of negative density dependence, with annual growth rates declining as population size increased, alongside evidence of temporal lag effects in Arabian oryx.

Microclimate mediates the strength and direction of avian biotic interactions

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Theory predicts that the strength and direction of species interactions can shift from being competitive in benign environments toward being facilitative in stressful environments. However, the environmental context dependency of species interactions has rarely been tested in animal communities.

Early Contributions Leading to Understanding the Significance of Epichloë Endophyte in Temperate Grasses

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 5, October 2026.
The role and use of Epichloë fungal endophytes in grazed temperate grass pastures and turf grasses are now well understood with regard to balancing pasture persistence while minimising animal health and welfare concerns. However, this understanding has only emerged since the early 1980s. Prior to this, although links between Epichloë endophytes, animal

Proximity to wind turbines altered plant–pollinator dynamics in prairie and sagebrush ecosystems in Wyoming, USA

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Wind turbines influence several abiotic conditions in the environments they are sited in and may influence the behavior and movement of insect pollinators. It is unknown how operating turbines influence plant–pollinator interactions. To investigate if pollination dynamics could be affected by the presence of wind turbines, we recorded videos of ...

Can the Carbon Storage Function of a Degraded Mountain Wet Meadow Be Restored?

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Sierra Nevada meadows experienced intense livestock grazing in the 19th century, resulting in a shift from deep‐rooted highly productive perennial clonal sedges to short‐lived and shallow‐rooted plants. The current meadow vegetation contains >20% bare ground and <10% cover of highly productive clonal sedges and rushes. We hypothesized that the

Assessing JULES Across Bioclimatic Domains Through a Pan‐African Flux Tower Evaluation: Insights Into Controls on Gross Primary Productivity, Ecosystem Respiration, and Evapotranspiration Biases

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Land surface models are fundamental for simulating coupled carbon, water and energy exchanges in Earth system models, yet their performance remains poorly constrained across Africa's diverse hydroclimatic gradients. We evaluate the Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES) using eddy covariance observations from 16 flux towers spanning major

Lizards in Dunes and Swales: Habitat Structure and Assemblage Patterns

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Habitat structure mediates thermoregulation, foraging opportunities, and access to refugia, shaping how animals use space and encounter risk. Dune–swale mosaics provide sharp structural contrasts over short distances, offering a natural test of structure–assemblage links and spacing relative to shelter.
