A link between increased temperature and avian body condition in a logged tropical forest

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract The combined effects of anthropogenic disturbances, such as logging and climate change, remain poorly understood; yet, they are the main threats to tropical biodiversity. Most tropical African countries lack long‐term climate data, so climate impacts on biodiversity cannot be assessed.

Representation of obligate groundwater‐dwelling copepod diversity in European protected areas

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Groundwaters sustain diverse surface ecosystems and are populated by metazoan species, mostly invertebrates, that provide fundamental ecological functions and are often of prominent conservation value due to narrow endemism and high phylogenetic rarity.

Effects of landscape context on avian specialist response to increased surface temperature in protected areas

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Human development is a driver of global change and a major threat to biodiversity. Protected areas maintain and support biodiversity, but outside stressors, such as climate change and land use change, can negatively influence natural resources within protected areas.

Fire modulates the structural drivers and functioning of individual‐based plant‐pollinator networks

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.
Ecological drivers that shape (positively or negatively) the plant‐pollinator network and determine plant fitness, both before and after a fire. Abstract Fire is a natural phenomenon that shapes ecosystems, but climate change and human activities have increased its frequency and magnitude, disrupting essential ecosystem services like pollination ...

fastbioclim: An R package for creating custom‐time bioclimatic and derived environmental summary variables

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1585-1594, May 2026.
Abstract Bioclimatic variables, widely used in ecological and biogeographical studies, are typically derived from 30‐year averages of monthly data (e.g. 1971–2000). Unfortunately, the use of these long‐term averaged variables often creates a temporal mismatch with the observational data collected, which potentially undermines how environmental ...

Effects of Warming on Growth and Leaf Colonization by Litter Mat‐Forming Fungi in a Wet Tropical Forest in Puerto Rico

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
We took advantage of a long‐running field warming experiment, the Tropical Responses to Altered Climate Experiment (TRACE) located in the Luquillo Experimental Forest in Puerto Rico to evaluate the effects of +4°C warming on relative growth rates (RGR) and time to leaf colonization of a recently senesced leaf for drought‐tolerant species Marasmius ...

Evolution of Reproductive Plasticity in a Seasonal Tropical Environment

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.
We reveal widespread occurrence of seasonal reproductive plasticity, including reproductive diapause, in Nymphalid butterflies in a seasonal rainforest in the Amazon. This highlights that, not only in temperate but also tropical habitats, seasonality is an important driver of plastic life history strategies. ABSTRACT Seasonality can drive the evolution

Local climate and genetic influence on intraspecific variation in torpor physiology of a cave‐roosting bat

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 857-867, April 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Many small endotherms employ torpor as a survival strategy to reduce energy expenditure during periods with low food availability and cold temperatures. The expression and physiology of torpor can vary substantially within species because of phenotypic plasticity and ...
