From Inventories to Insights: Environmental Gradients Structuring Macro‐Moths Assemblages Recorded in Nature Reserves

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
The article analyses macro‐moth (Lepidoptera) inventory data from 292 nature reserves across the Czech Republic, comprising 941 species. It examines how reserve characteristics, geographic position and altitude influence species richness, community composition and their associations with species traits.

How Does the Phasianidae Maintain Its Diversity in Central China?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The hypothesis of allopatric speciation suggests that spatial separation is the major driver to speciation. The ecological niche theory suggests that differentiations in niche dimensions allow more species to co‐exist in ecological communities.

Habitat Utilization Preference by Small Mammals Is Associated With Geomorphic and Soil Properties: A Case Study of the Plateau Pika From the Eastern Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study, through a large‐scale survey, reveals a close relationship between plateau pika habitat use preferences and geomorphic and soil characteristics. The findings indicate that pikas prefer flat, sun‐facing terrain near water sources, as well as specific ranges of soil depth, organic matter, and moisture.

Within‐Population Genetic Structuring of the Cosmopolitan Fungus Schizophyllum commune in Poland and Ukraine

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
In this study, we aimed to investigate the genetic structuring of the S. commune population in Poland and Ukraine using highly informative SSR DNA markers, to identify potential environmental factors influencing gene flow, and establish the direction of genotypes dissemination.

Upland Afforestation Desiccates Downslope Wetlands on Sandy Soil

Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 4, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Afforestation of formerly open, water‐limited habitats is a globally widespread form of land conversion, driven by the need for timber and non‐timber forest products, and capturing atmospheric carbon. However, increased tree cover can adversely affect hydrological cycles by increasing evapotranspiration and reducing downslope water yield ...
