Effect of Genetic Ancestry on Ecologically Important Fitness Traits in Hybridizing Populus Species: Relevance for Conservation and Forest Management

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Forest trees and their hybrids exhibit diverse adaptive strategies, reflected in functional traits that enhance fitness under varying biotic and abiotic stresses. Hybrid zones serve as natural experiments for studying evolutionary processes and have also garnered attention for their relevance in adaptive nature conservation and forest ...

The Vulnerability of New Zealand Forage Plants to Incursions by New Pests, Pathogens and Weeds, and the Case for Greater Protection

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
We outline the diversity of pests, weeds and plant pathogens absent from New Zealand that threaten forage production, examine their potential import pathways, and outline the challenges of managing them should they arrive. The number and diversity of threats and pathways indicates ongoing incursions are inevitable.

Biological corridors are crucial habitat features that boost biodiversity in agroecological systems of Argentina

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.
Our work shows for the first time in the region that biological corridors increase biodiversity and promote interactions between different components of the production system, using a methodology never before used in Argentina such as the Griffon index.

Spatiotemporal Impacts of Forest Fires on Mountain Vegetation: A Case Study From Langtang National Park, Nepal Himalaya

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
A good positive correlation was found between maximum temperature and burn area; increased temperature relates to an increase in fire activity and larger burn areas. Grassland and needle leaf forests are the major land cover types with relatively high fire frequency, likely due to flammable biomass and seasonal dryness, while broad leaved closed ...

Measurement of Ungulate Palatability and Browsing Pressure on Japanese Flora

open access: yesEcological Research, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.
Estimation of palatability and browsing pressure are key techniques for ecosystem management. We compared four methods to estimate palatability based on browsing scar survey and proposed the reference palatability values for the Japanese flora as plant ecological trait.

Annual, Annual Self‐Seeding and Perennial Legume Living Mulches (LLMs) Shape Weed Community Composition and Diversity During the Wheat–Sorghum Fallow Period

open access: yesWeed Research, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Among the agroecological practices that can be used for sustainable weed management, legume living mulches (LLMs) are receiving increasing attention. This study provides a detailed report on how different LLMs established in durum wheat affected the weed community composition and diversity during the fallow period in a wheat–sorghum crop ...
