Assessing contributions of deterministic versus stochastic processes to local species assembly: A field experiment with annual plant‐dominated communities in gypsum systems

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 3, March 2026.
In this study, we experimentally show that stochasticity can play prominent roles in driving local species assembly in annual plant‐dominated communities of semiarid gypsum ecosystems. Drylands are traditionally viewed as restrictive environments that impose strong deterministic filtering effects, but neutral events can also contribute decisively to ...

Drivers of Habitat Selection by the Endangered Greater Caribbean Manatee in Coastal‐Marine Ecosystems

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Habitat selection is a fundamental aspect of animal movement and behaviour, involving strategies that influence population regulation, species interactions, community structure and the generation and preservation of biodiversity. The Greater Caribbean Manatee is a megaherbivorous aquatic mammal with high environmental plasticity, found in a ...

The Miners of South America: Impacts of Climate Change on the Distribution of Geositta Miners Along Elevational Gradients

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.
We modeled the current and future distributions of seven Geositta species along elevational gradients in South America under two climate change scenarios. Our results show that most species are projected to lose suitable habitats, particularly under the high‐emission scenario, with distinct responses between lowland and highland taxa.

Combining Insecticides and Bioinputs With Eucalyptus Wood Vinegar: Effects on the Soybean Crop

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The use of pesticides and bioinputs in agriculture is one of the most vital needs today to improve crop yields. A combination of pesticides and bioinputs, along with natural agents, is a viable solution to make agribusiness more eco‐friendly. Wood vinegar (WV) is a recognized agricultural input that enhances plant growth and can act as a valuable agent
