Key considerations for the use of satellite‐based remote sensing for lake and reservoir research and management

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Given the critical importance of freshwater for human well‐being and the myriad threats altering water quality and quantity, monitoring lakes and reservoirs is necessary to identify where, how, and why freshwater ecosystems are changing globally.

Effects of climate warming and prolonged snow cover on phenology of the early life history stages of four alpine herbs on the southeastern Tibetan Plateau

, 2018
PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Much research has focused on plant responses to ongoing climate change, but there is relatively little information about how climate change will affect the early plant life history stages.

Density‐dependent habitat selection in plains bison

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 5, July 2026.
Using GPS collar data, we tested whether habitat selection of plains bison in Grasslands National Park, Canada, was density dependent. Bison selected for areas of high vegetation productivity far from human activity when population density was low and increased use of lower productivity habitat closer to disturbance as density increased.

How alpine heathlands response to the snow cover change on the ski slope? Long-lasting ski slope impact case study from the Hrubý Jeseník Mts (Central Europe)

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2016
The distribution and duration of snow cover are important variables that affect ecosystem processes in the alpine zone. The establishment of ski resorts dramatically change their surrounding environment and ski slopes represent significant anthropogenic ...

Rain‐on‐Snow Events Frequently Drive Peak Streamflow Across the Contiguous United States

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Rain‐on‐snow events occur when rain falls on a ripe snowpack, initiating rapid snowmelt that can produce extreme flooding in watersheds throughout the world. Rapid snowmelt during rain‐on‐snow flooding is primarily caused by the increase of net radiation (longwave) and turbulent fluxes during the event.

Hummingbird interaction niche packing is influenced by species richness and resource availability in the southern tropical Andes

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 2275-2285, July 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Niche partitioning is often considered an important mechanism promoting species co‐occurrence in species‐rich communities. As species richness increases, niche partitioning may lead to different niche structures, including increased packing of species niches when the ...

On the Importance of High-Resolution Time Series of Optical Imagery for Quantifying the Effects of Snow Cover Duration on Alpine Plant Habitat

Remote Sensing, 2016
We investigated snow cover dynamics using time series of moderate (MODIS) to high (SPOT-4/5, Landsat-8) spatial resolution satellite imagery in a 3700 km2 region of the southwestern French Alps.

Flexible parental care in a songbird correlates with sex‐specific responses to seasonal phenology, mating opportunity and reproductive success

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 7, Page 1178-1193, July 2026.
This population‐comparative study reveals that male and female parents respond differently to social and ecological conditions. This sex‐specific responsive strategy is related to the incongruent parental care systems across populations in Chinese penduline tits.

No evidence of widespread decline of snow cover on the Tibetan Plateau over 2000–2015

, 2017
Understanding the changes in snow cover is essential for biological and hydrological processes in the Tibetan Plateau (TP) and its surrounding areas. However, the changes in snow cover phenology over the TP have not been well documented.
