Serpentine Biocrust Microbes Maintain Nitrogen Cycling Under Drought and Heavy Metal Stress

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.
This study highlights the complex interplay between soil geochemistry and moisture availability in shaping microbial communities within wetter and drier serpentine and non‐serpentine biological soil crusts. It demonstrates that both factors influence the structure of nitrogen‐cycling microbial communities and the processes they mediate.

Effects of Temperature Peaks and Water Stress on Tropical Seed Germination: Experimental Trials With Species From Brazil's Northeastern Coastal Zone

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the effects of high temperatures and water deficit on germination provides valuable insights into seed stress tolerance, guiding the use of native seeds in ecological restoration. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of (1) temperature peaks and (2) water stress treatments and post‐stress recovery on the germination of some ...

The Temporal Imperative: Palaeo‐Proxies and Nature‐Based Solutions for Resilient Natural Inland Wetland Conservation and Management in Southeast Asia—A Systematic Review

Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Natural inland wetlands in Southeast Asia provide key biodiversity, hydrological, carbon‐storage and livelihood functions, but are increasingly affected by land‐use change, fire, hydrological modification and climate change and variability.

From Cohesion to Norms: How Animal Groups Come, Stay, and Function Together

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 9, Page 604-622, September 2026.
The present review underscores two salient points: In the context of evolutionary transitions to pair‐ and group living, it is imperative to acknowledge the distinction between selective forces that act during the origin of these social systems and those that act during their subsequent maintenance.

Evidence for a trade‐off between growth rate and xylem embolism resistance in 22 Eucalyptus species

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 5, Page 2407-2426, September 2026.
Examples of cross‐sectional images of branchlets at 4× and 40×. Summary Within the growth–survival trade‐off framework, embolism resistance is considered a contributor to survival, yet whether greater embolism resistance inherently limits growth remains unclear.
