Red‐listed species under threat: Unexpectedly high deadwood thresholds for their presence in managed boreal forests

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
We show that deadwood volume is a reliable, taxon‐specific indicator of the presence of red‐listed bryophytes and fungi but not lichens. By explicitly focusing on threatened species and deriving statistically defined thresholds from managed boreal forests, our study provides empirical benchmarks that go beyond commonly used biodiversity indicators.

Fire‐survival strategies of first‐year acacia seedlings

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 6, June 2026.
Acacia seedlings (11 of 12 species) acquire some ability to survive grass fires in their first year, either by resisting topkill with thickened stems and/or by regrowing from below‐ground stems. The results suggest that small differences in these fire‐survival strategies at this crucial life stage translate to large differences in savanna physiognomy ...

Generalist With a Narrow Niche Breadth: Feeding Ecology and Seed Germination Effectiveness of a Large Canid Within a Silvicultural Matrix

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
Diet: The generalist canid exhibits a narrow niche breadth (0.12), consuming native plants (100% frequency) and animals (85%). Birds dominate animal prey (74%), peaking in the dry season, while Solanaceae plants dominate plant food (100%), peaking in the rainy season.

Role of Local Medium to Large Mammalian Species in Seed Dispersal of Fleshy‐Fruited Invasive Alien Plants in the Montane Grassland Biome of South Africa

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 4, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Fleshy‐fruited invasive alien shrubs are an increasing problem in the grasslands of South Africa, where they alter vegetation and threaten biodiversity. They are predominantly bird‐dispersed in forest systems, but their spread in grassland ecosystems remains understudied, including their dispersal by mammals.
