Metabarcoding of Pollen Carried by Syrphids Reveals Novel Plant–Pollinator Interactions in a Protected Natural Area and Agricultural Sites

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Using DNA metabarcoding, this study investigates pollen transported by syrphids (Syrphidae) in the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park and agricultural sites in Northern Italy. The analysis reveals a high diversity of visited plant taxa, including previously undocumented plant–pollinator interactions.

A novel method based on high‐resolution imaging spectroscopy to predict fine‐root traits and the economics space of fresh tree roots

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Maps of the estimated root nitrogen concentration in the < 0.5‐mm‐diameter classes of 20 woody species based on the imaging spectroscopy using the shortwave infrared spectral region. Summary Tree fine‐root morphological, anatomical, and chemical traits are important to reflect belowground resource acquisition strategies to support tree growth, but ...

Reforestation Under Climate Change—A Cross‐Regional Deadwood Retention Experiment to Develop Multifunctional Forests on Disturbed Norway Spruce Areas

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
The interdisciplinary “ResEt‐Fi” project investigates ecological and economic responses to different deadwood management practices within post‐disturbance landscapes. This article presents the rationale behind different deadwood treatments, the design of our cross‐regional field trial in Central Europe, and outlines an ecological response framework ...

Recreational activities and human hunting strongly influence red deer space use to trails

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Assessing how animals adjust their movements to two widespread human activities, hunting and recreation, can provide critical insights into how these activities reshape red deer spatial behavior. In this study, we used GPS telemetry data from red deer in the Bavarian Forest National Park (Germany) to analyze their habitat selection and ...

Determination of the variation in volatile components during the ripening of Sorbus domestica L. fruit

open access: yesHorticultural Science
Sorbus domestica L. is a deciduous shrub-like tree in the Rosaceae family that reaches different heights (3-25 m). The service tree commonly grows in the Marmara region, Central and Western Black Sea regions, and Central Anatolia in Türkiye. The fruit of

Monitoring GPS‐collared moose by ground versus drone approaches: efficiency and disturbance effects

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 5, September 2026.
Efficient wildlife management requires precise monitoring methods, for example to estimate population density, reproductive success, and survival. Here, we compared the efficiency of drone (equipped with a RGB camera) and ground approaches to detect and observe GPS‐collared female moose Alces alces and their calves. We also quantified how drone (n = 42)

The Influence of Genotype and Morphological Characteristics of Rowan (Sorbus aucuparia) Leaves on the Development of Gymnosporangium cornutum

open access: yesSouth-East European Forestry
Rust caused by Gymnosporangium cornutum Arthur ex F. Kern is one of the most common diseases of rowan (Sorbus aucuparia L.). Currently, there is little information on the development of this disease in forestry literature.

Apomixis and Hybridization Drives Reticulate Evolution and Phyletic Differentiation in Sorbus L.: Implications for Conservation

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Hybridization and polyploidy are major forces in the evolution of plant diversity and the study of these processes is of particular interest to understand how novel taxa are formed and how they maintain genetic integrity.

Quantifying microhabitat selection of snowshoe hares using forest metrics from UAS‐based LiDAR

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 5, September 2026.
Identifying the spatial and temporal scale at which animals select resources is critical for predicting how populations respond to changes in the environment. The spatial distribution of fine‐scale resources (e.g. patches of dense vegetation) are often linked with critical life‐history requirements such as denning and feeding sites.
