Adaptive Genetic Variation in Black‐and‐White Snub‐Nosed Monkeys (Rhinopithecus bieti): Low Diversity and the Role of Balancing Selection

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We investigated the adaptive genetic diversity within a population of Rhinopithecus bieti using amplicon sequencing. From 47 individuals, we identified 16 MHC class I sequences, revealing a low level of adaptive genetic variation. Although evidence for balancing selection, including positive selection and trans‐species polymorphism, was observed, these

Sympatric Distribution of Giant Pandas and Red Pandas in Sichuan Province: Habitat Overlap Patterns and Implications for the Giant Panda's Umbrella Effect

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study quantified habitat overlap between giant and red pandas in their sympatric range using the MaxEnt model, confirming a significant umbrella effect for the red panda. However, conservation gaps exist, as red pandas are more sensitive to high‐altitude areas (> 3200 m) and anthropogenic disturbance, requiring refined management strategies for ...

Unveiling Diet Preferences and Their Nutritional Drivers Through Metabarcoding: The Case of Alpine Marmot (Marmota marmota L.) in High Altitude Grazed Pastures

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
The alpine marmot (Marmota marmota), a crucial component of alpine ecosystems, serves both as a key player in the food chain and as an ‘ecosystem engineer.’ Employing DNA metabarcoding of fecal samples, this study investigated the diet composition and foraging strategies of four alpine marmot colonies across diverse alpine pasture ecosystems throughout

Complex trajectories of tree growth in the southwestern United States after severe drought

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Climate change driven extreme droughts have major impacts on forest ecosystems, including large‐scale mortality and reduced primary production, which feedback to affect the global carbon cycle. The long‐term impacts of extreme drought events on forest mortality, ecosystem responses, and recovery/post‐drought trajectories are poorly understood.

The effects of scientific uncertainty and values trade‐offs on flow management decisions for an endangered fish

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Consumptive use of freshwater is of concern in many estuarine ecosystems, and various frameworks have been used to prescribe environmental flows to benefit native species. However, few of these frameworks explicitly examine the potential trade‐offs between socioeconomic and conservation‐oriented values.
