Corridors increase ant diversity over time

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Globally, habitat loss and fragmentation pose significant threats to biodiversity. Habitat corridors are often used in fragmented landscapes to reconnect isolated patches. However, understanding how corridors function can be challenging, as their effects may be confounded with simultaneous changes to habitat area, edge amount, and connectivity

Land‐Atmosphere Coupling Is Associated With Severer Vegetation Productivity Losses During Compound Dry‐Hot Events in Drylands

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 12, October 2026.
Compound dry‐hot events (CDHEs) exerted severer damage on vegetation productivity for temperate shrublands, savannas and grasslands in drylands. Land‐atmosphere coupling was associated with severer negative impacts of CDHEs through soil moisture–temperature feedback, especially for dry‐event‐leading CDHEs.

Barbacenia pendula sp. nov.(Velloziaceae) from the northern Espinhaço Range of Minas Gerais, Brazil

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Although botanical exploration in the Espinhaço Range has increased in recent years, several areas remain poorly sampled, particularly in northern Minas Gerais. Recently, this area has been receiving scientific expeditions, leading to the description of several new plant species.

The importance of biodiversity components differs among wood‐based material Nature's contributions to people (NCP) in a tropical montane ecosystem

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Biodiversity can influence forest productivity, but this does not necessarily translate into higher provision of wood‐based Nature's contributions to people (NCP), as only a subset of the wood produced is used for each NCP. Biodiversity–NCP relationships therefore require further assessment.

Bushmeat consumption frequency and preferences among rural households in a West African savanna landscape: Implications for food security and conservation

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 10, Page 3416-3429, October 2026.
Abstract The drivers of consumer demand for bushmeat are relatively well studied in tropical forest systems, but much less so in savanna areas. This is important because differing ecological and socio‐economic conditions lead to different factors affecting the relationship between local communities and their natural resources.
