Evolutionary Response Patterns of the Rodent TLR Genes to Climatic Factors
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.This study systematically investigates the associations between climatic factors and the evolutionary dynamics of Toll‐like receptor (TLR) genes across 42 rodent species. Our findings demonstrate that temperature‐related climatic variables (Annual Mean Temperature, Mean Diurnal Range, and Max Temperature of Warmest Month) may modulate the evolutionary ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.Interviews with car mechanics in Kraków (2010 vs. 2023) examined long‐term human–stone marten conflict related to car engine damage. While the total number of reported incidents changed little, the conflict rate relative to the growing number of registered cars significantly decreased.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.The object of this study is to evaluate and compare the changes of the small mammal assemblages between two lowland mesoregions in Hungary based on Western Barn Owl pellet analysis. Prey composition, diversity, and community dynamics differed markedly between the two lowland regions, indicating that local landscape characteristics and weather ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.Offshore wind energy is rapidly expanding in the North sea foraging grounds of internationally important seabirds, with predicted impacts on their survival and productivity. Since reduction to breeding colony disturbance is a proposed compensation measure for these impacts, we used a seven‐year dataset of > 1400 black‐legged kittiwake nests at an ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.We evaluated the performance of a high‐density cross‐species SNP array to discriminate and genetically characterise Apodemus flavicollis and Apodemus sylvaticus in a fragmented agriforest landscape. The SNP data clearly separated the two species and revealed high genetic diversity, weak spatial genetic structure and no isolation‐by‐distance within each

Invasive mammals disrupt sea–land nutrient inputs over 169 years on subtropical oceanic islands
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Invasive mammals have severely impacted oceanic islands, reducing or extirpating seabird populations and driving the collapse of nutrient flows with lasting ecosystem effects. We investigated these dynamics on contrasting subtropical oceanic islands in the South Pacific: Rangitāhua, a large island where goats, cats, and rats caused the ...
