Cultivated Vegetation Shapes Diversity and Stability of Spontaneous Herbaceous Communities in Residential Green Spaces

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Cultivated vegetation shapes the diversity and stability of spontaneous herbaceous communities in residential green spaces, with effects varying across vegetation types. Spontaneous communities were dominated by occasional species, and community stability and dissimilarity were more closely associated with species frequency structure than with overall ...

Rewilding: Pitfalls and Opportunities for Moths and Butterflies [PDF]

, 2015
Small organisms provide the bulk of biodiversity. Here, we look at rewilding from their perspective. As an umbrella group for other terrestrial invertebrates, we focus on the diverse group of Lepidoptera. More specifically, we set out to explore their response to farmland abandonment.

Landscape wetness and beaver wetlands enhance environmental prevalence of Francisella spp.

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Identifying the contributions of biotic and abiotic factors in pathogen transmission is essential to mitigate vector‐borne and zoonotic disease risk. Francisella tularensis is the etiological agent of the infectious disease tularemia in wildlife and humans. Environmental factors driving transmission in wildlife, including the role of hares and

A perspective on restoration with foundation plants across anthropogenic dry forests of the Southern Cone and the Sahel

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Rewilding is a flexible conservation approach that may be applicable to a wide variety of ecological, historical and socio-cultural contexts. We believe that comparative socio-ecological research on woodland habitat trajectories among contexts is an ...

Can Biodiversity Markets Deliver Inclusive and Collaborative Nature Recovery? Lessons From Different Habitat Banking Models in England

Environmental Policy and Governance, Volume 36, Issue 3, Page 727-745, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Biodiversity markets are increasingly promoted as instruments to close the biodiversity finance gap, yet their implications for social inclusivity and collaborative governance remain poorly understood. England's new Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) policy provides a critical case.

Tree planting, natural colonisation, hybrid approaches: Land manager decisions explored

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1603-1614, June 2026.
Abstract There is a global drive to protect biodiversity and help combat climate change. In the UK, this is expressed in a number of policy initiatives and tools that include increasing tree cover as an important nature‐based solution to achieving national policy targets.

Rewilding soil and litter invertebrates and fungi increases decomposition rates and alters detritivore communities

Ecology and Evolution
Habitat degradation and associated reductions in ecosystem functions can be reversed by reintroducing or ‘rewilding’ keystone species. Rewilding projects have historically targeted restoration of processes such as grazing regimes or top‐down predation ...

Exploring the Role of Strategic Place‐Based Risk Assessment as a Framework to Support System‐Based Climate Adaptation Planning

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Climate change adaptation requires more place‐based evidence to understand the context of historic, present and future vulnerability and how this translates to local patterns of risk. This study illustrates a globally relevant framework focused on multiple and often interconnected climate risks in a major coastal lowland, the Fens region, UK ...

Rewilding beyond the wilderness: Beavers can restore stream biodiversity from urban to agricultural to natural landscapes

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Our findings show that beaver‐engineering significantly enhances local biodiversity across aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, even at sites with high land‐use intensity. Hence, beavers can effectively restore stream biodiversity across a range of urban to agricultural to natural ecosystems.

Reintroduction of an Endangered Butterfly, the Mottled Duskywing (Erynnis martialis)

Animal Conservation, Volume 29, Issue 3, Page 261-273, June 2026.
We reintroduced Mottled Duskywing (Erynnis martialis), an endangered skipper butterfly, at different life‐stages to restored oak savanna habitat in Ontario, Canada and then performed intensive post‐release monitoring. Our results show that, at one of three sites, a population was established within two years of initiating releases and that pupae and ...
