Botanical inventory of the early book herbaria of Leonhard Rauwolf from southern France and northern Italy (1560–1563)

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Sixteenth‐century herbaria are the oldest plant collections that survive today and, as such, they provide valuable insights in past floras and historical botanical interactions. One of the most fascinating still extant 16th‐century herbaria is the four‐volume collection of the German physician, botanist and traveler Leonhard Rauwolf (1535 ...

Burrow Persistence and Spatial Distribution of Federally and State‐Protected Gopher Tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) Populations in Southwest Alabama

Animal Conservation, Volume 29, Issue 4, Page 379-392, August 2026.
The gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus), a keystone species and ecosystem engineer, has declined by ~80% over the past century due to primarily habitat loss. In a 28‐year resurvey of federally protected Mobile County and state‐protected Baldwin County, we found tortoise populations persisted at ~59% and ~31% of sites, respectively, with significant ...

Altitudinal Variation in Trade‐Off Strategies of the Plant Economics Spectrum of Pinus massoniana Plantations in Subtropical Mountains

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study investigated the resource‐use strategies of trees and understory shrubs along an altitudinal gradient in subtropical Pinus massoniana plantations. It revealed that P. massoniana shifts from an acquisitive to a conservative strategy with increasing elevation, while understory shrubs show the opposite pattern.

Spatial and temporal variation in survival of female wild turkeys

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 5, July 2026.
We monitored 370 female wild turkeys across North Carolina's 3 ecoregions from 2020‐2022 to understand factors influencing their survival. Female survival varied by ecoregion and behavior state, with the incubation period having the lowest survival rates. None of the land cover variables affected survival.

Initial Recovery of the Herbaceous Layer of a Temperate Deciduous Forest After 30 Years of Nitrogen Amendments: Implications for the Success of the Clean Air Act

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
A hysteretic model predicts a time lag in the response of herbaceous layer variables (e.g., cover, diversity) to decreasing N deposition. To the contrary, virtually all such variables displayed a surprising sensitivity to decreased N. ABSTRACT Increases in nitrogen (N) emissions during the 20th century resulted in the atmospheric deposition of N ...
