Measuring maternal line selection driven by differential survival in ex situ collections for plant conservation

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Ex situ plant collections may be increasingly needed to protect representative samples of threatened or rare species and provide plant material for conservation translocation. A primary problem in these ex situ collections is loss of intraspecific variation due to plant death. Different management actions would be required depending on whether

Defining ecologically realistic biodiversity offset multipliers with the response‐based habitat hectare assessment of biodiversity gains (REHAB)

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
Biodiversity offsetting should be based on adequately large multipliers to deliver no net loss or a net gain for biodiversity, yet the multipliers are often applied without quantitative assessment of the ecological outcomes of offset actions. Here, we show how ecologically realistic offset multipliers were defined based on ecological response estimates

Variable species establishment in response to microhabitat indicates different likelihoods of climate‐driven range shifts

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Climate change is causing geographic range shifts globally, and understanding the factors that influence species' range expansions is crucial for predicting future biodiversity changes. A common, yet untested, assumption in forecasting approaches is that species will shift beyond current range edges into new habitats as they become macroclimatically ...

Lagged climate‐driven range shifts at species' leading, but not trailing, range edges revealed by multispecies seed addition experiment

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Climate change is causing many species' ranges to shift upslope to higher elevations as species track their climatic requirements. However, many species have not shifted in pace with recent warming (i.e. ‘range stasis'), possibly due to demographic lags or microclimatic buffering.

Living on the edge – physiological tolerance to frost and drought explains range limits of 35 European tree species

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Species distribution models are key to evaluate how climate change threatens European forests and tree species distributions. However, current models struggle to integrate ecophysiological processes. Mechanistic models are complex and have high parameter requirements.
