Varying hydraulic strategies within leaves, stems and roots of coexisting desert shrubs

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 10, Page 3276-3295, October 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Effective and continuous root‐to‐leaf hydraulic transport is crucial for plant survival and growth during drought. However, the capacity to resist hydraulic dysfunction remains understudied in leaves and roots, especially for desert shrubs.

Bat community assembly in the ecotone of two neotropical biodiversity hotspots is determined by environmental filtering rather than historical factors

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 10, Page 2050-2062, October 2026.
We demonstrate that environmental filtering is the primary mechanism shaping bat communities across the Cerrado–Atlantic Forest ecotone. By integrating phylogenetic diversity, environmental gradients, and coevolutionary assembly models, our study provides new insights into the processes maintaining biodiversity in a globally important transition zone ...

Can landscape management provide disease regulation services? A case study of Brazilian spotted fever incidence

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 10, October 2026.
Policy implications. Our results can help prioritize surveillance strategies and the implementation of preventive measures, particularly in areas where landscape structures cannot provide disease regulation services. Landscape management actions aimed at increasing the amount of forest areas in a more aggregated manner could help restore those ...

Context‐engineering large language models for scalable structured metadata extraction in ecological literature reviews

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 10, Page 3006-3018, October 2026.
Abstract Hundreds of thousands of peer‐reviewed articles and grey‐literature reports appear each year in ecology and conservation, creating a pressing need for scalable synthesis tools. We demonstrate that transformer‐based Large Language Models (LLMs), when embedded within a practical, expert‐in‐the‐loop pipeline, offer a reliable path forward ...

Beyond Park Boundaries: Pastoral Rangelands as Functional Habitat for Migratory Herbivores in the Serengeti Ecosystem

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 7, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Communal rangelands outside core protected areas are vital for biodiversity conservation and pastoral livelihoods. The Serengeti–Mara Ecosystem (SME) in Tanzania and Kenya includes both protected areas and communal areas that border the parks.

Assessing responses of reef island seabirds to environmental and anthropogenic drivers

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Tropical insular ecosystems face escalating, cumulative impacts of land‐ and sea‐based ecological threats that jeopardize the long‐term sustainability of their native communities. This joint vulnerability is epitomized by reef island seabirds, which are exposed to reef decline and coastal erosion driven by climate change, reduction in prey ...
