Diet composition of the Red‐billed curassow (Crax blumenbachii) and its role as seed disperser in the Atlantic Forest: conservation insights

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Forest fragmentation and defaunation are major drivers of biodiversity loss in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, where 70–90% of tree species depend on animal‐mediated seed dispersal. Reintroduction of large frugivores, such as cracids, is being used to restore species populations and lost ecological functions.

Climate Controls on Carbon Dioxide Fluxes in a High‐Elevation Grassland

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
Climate change is significantly influencing high‐elevation grasslands, possibly unbalancing CO2 exchanges and the sink‐source dynamics. Cumulated heat available for plant growth and vegetation cover were identified as the main controllers of phenological development and, via direct or mediated effects, of CO2 fluxes (ER and GPP).

Evolutionary and Ecological Determinants of the Phenology of Births in Wild Large Herbivores, a Systematic Review

open access: yesMammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.
This semi‐systematic review supports the two dominant drivers of birth phenology: the seasonality and predation hypotheses. Even though there is evidence of their importance, the effects of female, offspring and population characteristics remain marginally accounted for. Asian and South and Central American species are currently understudied.

Shaping future forests: how can ecophysiology support climate‐smart forest management?

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2778-2813, June 2026.
Summary Climate change, particularly the associated increase in extreme events and disturbances, threatens the numerous environmental, social, and economic benefits that forests provide, both locally and globally. Heat and drought pose significant risks to forest ecosystems; the anticipated future climate is expected to exacerbate this trend ...

Phenology and carbon dioxide source/sink strength of a subalpine grassland in response to an exceptionally short snow season

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2013
Changes in snow cover depth and duration predicted by climate change scenarios are expected to strongly affect high-altitude ecosystem processes. This study investigates the effect of an exceptionally short snow season on the phenology and carbon dioxide

Heterogeneous Responses of High‐Latitude Forest Productivity to Interannual Climate Variability

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Amplified warming has altered the phenology and structure of high‐latitude forests, yet their carbon uptake responses to environmental variations remain uncertain. Using satellite observations of solar‐induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF), we quantify interannual variations in growing‐season (GS) productivity of these forests and their ...

Terrestrial Runoff Divides the Central Arctic Ocean and Shapes the Biologically Relevant Marine Lightscape

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract The Arctic Ocean is undergoing drastic changes in its sea ice cover, but is also optically complex. Observations from summer 2022 across the western Eurasian Basin, show increased colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) absorption from terrestrial‐derived runoff within the Transpolar Drift (TPD) in the Amundsen Basin, extending down to a depth

Phylogenetics, Niche Evolution, and Distribution Dynamics of Isatis Species Under Climate Change

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study systematically elucidates the adaptive evolution of Isatis species from the perspective of life‐history strategies and niche evolution, highlights the increased extinction risk faced by wild relatives, and provides a critical scientific basis for the conservation and sustainable use of the germplasm resources of this genus.
