Stability in tapia woodlands amid non‐native expansion: Integrating traditional ecological knowledge and remote sensing to track 73 years of tree cover in Madagascar

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1403-1418, May 2026.
Abstract Afromontane ecosystems, characterised by mosaics of fire‐adapted grassy ecosystems and fire‐sensitive forests, are biodiversity hotspots facing escalating pressures from non‐native species, climate and land‐use change. Madagascar's Central Highlands is one such hotspot, hosting woodlands dominated by endemic Uapaca bojeri (tapia) which are ...

Landscape, stand and tree characteristics influence the distribution of lightning damage in Central African forests

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1385-1398, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The impact of lightning in tropical forests remains uncertain. Specifically, the factors that influence the spatial distribution of lightning damage within forests remain unknown.

Generation cycles in experimental populations of a multivoltine insect

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 5, Page 782-794, May 2026.
Although theory suggests various mechanisms by which environmental and ecological factors may drive generational fluctuations, our field‐cage experiment is the first to demonstrate how internal dynamics and external disturbances jointly produce synchronised, large‐scale outbreak cycles.

Tree‐based modelling of ecosystem services and climate‐adaptive silviculture strategies

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Our years‐long collaboration contributed to a robust scientific basis for the next TVSF management plan, which is currently under development. More broadly, our findings demonstrate the adaptive capacity of communities in sparsely managed climate vulnerable forests is likely insufficient to offset declines in desired ecosystem services.

Host preferences of non‐native Acalolepta aesthetica (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) on the Island of Hawaiʻi

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 149-159, May 2026.
Acalolepta aesthetica is a non‐native cerambycid established on the Island of Hawaiʻi. We show its preferred hosts are woody species that are highly valued for agricultural, horticultural and cultural uses. We used a resource selection function to estimate host preferences and found that kukui (Aleurites moluccanus), the state tree, was preferred ...

Stemflow Dynamics in the Jamari National Forest (Brazilian Amazon): I. The Role of Tree Structure

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
A portion of rainfall that contacts tree canopies is drained down tree stems as stemflow. Stemflow is an underexamined component of rainfall partitioning in tropical forests. To investigate how tree canopy structural attributes influence stemflow in the Brazilian Amazon, we measured stemflow, rainfall, and dendrometric parameters of 56 trees in the ...

Afforestation of tropical savannas has mixed consequences for bird communities

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
Moving beyond the prevailing binary perception of savanna afforestation being either ‘good’ or ‘bad’ for native biodiversity, our data suggests that plantations on the rainfall extremes should be viewed as important supplementary habitats for biodiversity.

Urban Bushland Wildfire Adaptation: Lessons From Managing Grassland Biodiversity and Woody Thickening on the Queens Domain, Hobart, Tasmania

Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Urban bushland fragments have important natural and social values. Their management is challenging because they typically have experienced complex historical disturbances, making it difficult to settle on the most appropriate restoration targets. We illustrate these issues by chronicling vegetation and fire regime changes in the Queens Domain,
