Potential Geographic Distribution of the Rare and Endangered Plant Sauvagesia rhodoleuca in China Under Climate Change Scenarios

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study used an optimized MaxEnt model to project the distribution of the endangered Chinese endemic Sauvagesia rhodoleuca. Under future climate scenarios, suitable habitat is expected to expand significantly and shift northward, with hydrothermal conditions as key drivers.

Multidimensional Diversity Identifies Mountains as Key Refugia for Caudata in China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
We identified 14 critical refugia as conservation gaps, emphasizing mountain ecosystems' buffering capacity for Caudate species. Our findings highlight the urgency of adaptive conservation strategies targeting climate refugia and expanding PA networks. ABSTRACT Climate change is reshaping biodiversity patterns, yet conservation planning for amphibians,

Frost Tolerance Increases With Plant Height Among Co‐Occurring Alpine Species in the Central Tibetan Plateau

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Frost tolerance (LT50) varies greatly among species coexisting in an alpine community. Taller plants are more frost‐tolerant, reversing the expected intra‐community pattern. Evidence for a frost survival trade‐off: avoidance in short plants vs. tolerance in tall plants.

Climate Change Sensitivity and Regional Differences of the Upper Limit of Montane Deciduous Broad‐Leaved Forests Across the Northern Hemisphere

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
We developed a cloud model–based framework integrating multisource remote sensing data to quantify the climate change sensitivity of the upper limit of montane deciduous broad‐leaved forests (ULMDBs) across the Northern Hemisphere. Results reveal strong regional differences, with temperature dominating ULMDB sensitivity in humid regions and ...

Comparative Chloroplast Genomics of Cousinia (Asteraceae) With Nine Newly Sequenced Endemic Species From Central Asia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
In this study, nine complete chloroplast genomes of Cousinia species endemic to the Pamir–Alay mountain system were sequenced and analyzed together with previously published plastomes and nuclear ribosomal ITS data. ABSTRACT Cousinia (Asteraceae: Cardueae) represents one of the most species‐rich genera within the Irano–Turanian floristic region, yet ...

Differences in Phenological Estimation From Multi‐Vegetation Indices Across the Yellow River Basin

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study evaluated the differential performance of PPI, kNDVI, and EVI in monitoring land surface phenology across the Yellow River Basin. The three vegetation indices showed pronounced divergence in capturing autumn phenological metrics, particularly the downturn date (DD) and recession date (RD).

Spatial Distribution and Conservation Prioritization of Medicinal Gymnosperms in China Using an Optimal Set‐Cover Approach

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
The study identified 41 priority conservation grids and 8 critical conservation gaps not covered by national reserves for medicinal gymnosperms. We proposed a practical, multi‐dimensional framework for their conservation. ABSTRACT To elucidate the geographical distribution patterns and hotspots of medicinal gymnosperms in China, providing a scientific ...

Genomic Insights Into Species Divergence and Adaptive Evolution in the Grass Genus Orinus on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Using population genomic data, we investigated the evolutionary history and genomic divergence of closely related terrestrial plant lineages to test whether speciation proceeded in the presence of gene flow. Demographic modeling and genome‐wide scans revealed divergence with ongoing gene flow, heterogeneous genomic differentiation, and signatures of ...

Latent Profiles Analysis of Perceived Stress Among Nurses, Associated Factors and Comparison of Work Engagement: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Nurses in plateau areas face unique stressors, yet little is known about their perceived stress patterns. This study aimed to identify the latent profiles of perceived stress among nurses in plateau areas, explore associated factors, and compare work engagement across different profiles.
