Habitat-Based Predictions of Bridle Shiner (<i>Notropis bifrenatus</i>) in the Northeastern United States. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We developed local and regional models for Maine and New Hampshire that may be used to focus bridle shiner (Notropis bifrenatus) surveys on areas with high predicted habitat suitability. This is significant because bridle shiners receive protection or concern status in thirteen states and two Canadian provinces: Limited data show that bridle shiners ...

Riparian Bryophytes: An Overlooked Yet Important Habitat for Aquatic Macroinvertebrates in Interior Pacific Northwest (USA) Salmonid-Bearing Streams. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We investigated riparian bryophytes as habitat for aquatic invertebrates in an interior Pacific Northwest (PNW) salmonid stream system. Our results demonstrate that bryophytes are highly productive habitat for aquatic invertebrates in interior Pacific Northwest salmonid streams.

Plant species, inundation, and sediment grain size control the development of sediment stability in tidal marshes. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract Tidal marshes can contribute to nature‐based shoreline protection by reducing the wave load onto the shore and reducing the erosion of the sediment bed. To implement such nature‐based shoreline erosion protection requires the ability to quickly restore or create highly stable and erosion‐resistant tidal marshes at places where they currently ...

Metabarcoding Reveals Fine Scale Patterns of Trophic Resource Use and Partitioning Along Gradients of Land Use and Deer Density in a Multi-Species Ungulate Community. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We used DNA metabarcoding of 2,568 fecal samples to examine seasonal diets and resource partitioning among four deer species (moose, roe deer, red deer, fallow deer) across two Swedish landscapes. Deer consumed a wide range of plants, but diets were typically dominated by a few key taxa, with distinct dietary separation between moose and smaller deer ...

Resistance and Resilience of Species Composition: Thirty Years of Experimental Mismanagement and Subsequent Restoration in a Species Rich Meadow. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
In a 30‐years manipulative experiment in traditionally managed species rich oligotrophic meadow, we demonstrated how the community composition and diversity deteriorated under mismanagement (abandonment and fertilization), and how it recovered after re‐introduction of the traditional management.

Seven Year Decline of Mountain Hare Abundance in the Peak District, England. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
From 2017 to 2024, systematic transect surveys of the only mountain hare population in England showed a statistically significant continual decline of 58%. It is not known whether this decrease is symptomatic of parasite mediated population cyclicity or other factors.

Microbial Endolithic Community at Meteor Crater

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Postimpact recovery and evolution in response to climate changes produced a modern ecosystem at Meteor Crater dominated by a grassland and woodland of piñon and juniper, which has been used to evaluate floral and megafaunal consequences of impact cratering during the Phanerozoic Eon of complex life.

Wetland soil history shapes microbial community composition, while hydrologic disturbance alters greenhouse gas fluxes

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract While wetlands represent a small fraction (~5%–10%) of the world's land surface, it is estimated that one‐third of wetlands have been lost due to human activities. Wetland habitat loss decreases ecosystem benefits, including improved water quality and climate change mitigation.

Long‐term assessment of the Moss Layer Transfer Technique for the restoration of Sphagnum‐dominated peatlands

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Introduction Peatlands are crucial for carbon storage and biodiversity but face increasing human degradation. The Moss Layer Transfer Technique (MLTT) has emerged as an effective method for restoring Sphagnum‐dominated vegetation in post‐extracted horticultural peatlands. Objectives This study evaluates vegetation restoration trajectories over

Factors affecting intraspecific diet variation of ducklings: Niche partitioning in a heterogeneous landscape?

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Variability in resource use within populations of free‐ranging animals can influence demographic and evolutionary processes. Yet in many ecological systems, the extent of intra‐population variation in the resources that animals consume and the environmental factors that contribute to this variance remain poorly understood. For example, dietary
