Distance of movement in three threatened butterfly species
Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Multi‐year mark–recapture analysis using net displacement and Cormack–Jolly–Seber models shows similar daily detectability (0.17–0.22) among species, supporting robust interspecific comparisons. Dispersal kernels differ: lognormal best for Euphydryas aurinia and Parnassius apollo, exponential for Phengaris arion; P.

Temperature and the evolution of flower color: A review
American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Flower colors brighten our natural world. How and why have they evolved? How might ongoing global warming alter their evolutionary trajectories? In this review, I examine the influence of ambient temperature on the evolution of flower color.

Mowing Modulates the Biotic Filter of Expansive Species
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.Management type and expansive species influence plant community diversity in complex ways. Overall increase of expansive species cover acts as biotic filter in reducing the alpha and beta taxonomic and phylogenetical diversity. However, the filtering effect is modulated by management type, being more intense under mown grasslands.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.This study investigates heterospecific pollen (HP) effects in Sagittaria trifolia, an apocarpous plant with an extragynoecial compitum. HP–pistil compatibility and resulting seed set reduction were greatest from phylogenetically close donors, not influenced by origin or pollen traits.

Urban heat mitigation by roof surface materials during the East Asian summer monsoon
Environmental Research Letters, 2015 Roof surface materials, such as green and white roofs, have attracted attention in their role in urban heat mitigation, and various studies have assessed the cooling performance of roof surface materials during hot and sunny summer seasons.
