Geographical Variation in Skull Morphology of a Wild Rodent (Orientallactaga sibirica) Across Environmental Gradients

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
The greatest morphological differences are observed between the northeastern regions of China and the Qinghai‐Tibet regions. Elevation and temperature are the primary climatic factors causing morphological variation. Compared to the current period, the future suitable habitat area for Five‐toed jerboa is expected to decrease and shift toward higher ...

Finding the (small) cores: Spatial covariance tracks grassland bird community occupancy in fragmented grasslands

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Grasslands are an imperiled ecosystem, and grassland bird abundance is declining across North America. One of the strongest drivers for these declines is woody plant encroachment of grasslands. In the Great Plains and Sagebrush biomes of North America, spatial covariance—a remote‐sensing metric for tracking boundaries between vegetation types ...

Balancing moult, migration, and breeding in a long‐lived partially migrant raptor

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.
Moult, breeding, and migration are the three major life‐history events in the annual cycle of birds. All are energetically demanding processes that rarely overlap. In large raptors such as the Egyptian vulture Neophron percnopterus, completing a full moult may take more than one year, requiring birds to balance this process with other life‐cycle events.

Veronica paczoskiana is no more than a pine forest ecotype of V. spicata that evolved independently in forest‐steppes of Ukraine and the Altai region

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
The Eurasian steppe area has been a dynamic vegetation biome during the Pleistocene with its repeated cycles of forest advances and retreats. Such a scenario allows the evolution of ecotypes at the ecotone with the potential for parallel evolution in different parts of the distribution area.

Mycochemical Diversity and Therapeutic Potential of Hymenochaetoid Fungi from Central Asia: Regional and Global Perspectives

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.
Central Asia harbors a rich yet understudied assemblage of wood‐inhabiting Hymenochaetoid fungi. This review delivers the first comprehensive synthesis of 43 poroid species representing 18 genera documented across montane forests, steppes, and xeric habitats.
