Oxytropis ikhbogdicus (Section Mesogaea, Fabaceae), A New Species From Mongolia Based on Morphological and Molecular Analyses

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Oxytropis ikhbogdicus, a new species endemic to Mongolia, is described and illustrated. The new species was confirmed by phylogenetic analysis based on the complete plastome genome and combined nuclear ribosome internal transcribed spacer (ITS), psbA‐trnH, and trnF‐L sequence data as well as morphological characteristics. ABSTRACT Oxytropis ikhbogdicus,

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.

Elsholtzia yajiangensis (Lamiaceae), a New Species From Sichuan, China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Adds to the understanding of species diversity in the taxonomically challenging genus Elsholtzia, particularly in the biodiversity hotspot of the Hengduan Mountains. Demonstrates the utility of combining shallow whole‐genome sequencing and morphometrics in resolving species boundaries in closely related shrubby taxa.

Ensemble Modeling Reveals Severe Contraction of Dhole's (Cuon alpinus Pallas, 1811) Suitable Habitat and Future Climate Refugia Across China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
The dhole (Cuon alpinus), an endangered carnivore species and one of China's highest‐level protected animals, faces significant threats from both climate change and human disturbance. Since the 1980s, dhole habitat has dramatically shrunk by approximately half, with the current main stronghold being the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau.

Predict Suitable Restoration Areas for Typical Vegetation Restoration Species on the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau Based on MaxEnt

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
It was first used in the QTP vegetation restoration species, mainly to provide a basis for species selection in different regions of the QTP now and in the future. Secondly, it calculates the ecological niche overlap and niche breadth to avoid the risk of interspecies competition, providing a basis for the combination of species.

Ensemble Modeling of Shifts in the Suitable Distribution and Ecological Niche of the Alpine Tibetan Medicinal Herb Corydalis hendersonii Hemsl. Under Climate Change and Human Activity

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Corydalis hendersonii, a rare alpine Tibetan medicinal herb, faces increasing threats from climate warming and intensified human activity. Using a biomod2 ensemble species distribution model that integrates climate variables and the Human Footprint Index, we predict that suitable habitats will remain stable or slightly expand under SSP126 but contract ...

Spatiotemporal Dynamics and Evolution of Groundwater‐Dependent Ecosystems in the West Liao River Plain

Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 4, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Groundwater‐dependent ecosystems (GDEs) are essential to ecological stability in semi‐arid regions, yet their identification and mechanistic interpretation remain constrained by limited long‐term observations and insufficient model interpretability.

Vegetation on the move: elevational shifts and greening dynamics across the Himalayan alpine zone

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study investigates alpine ‘vegetation line' (the upper limit of continuous plant community) dynamics in the Himalayan alpine zone (HAZ) over a 24‐year timescale (1999–2022) using maximum NDVI products derived from Landsat series datasets, adjusted for sampling bias using phenological modelling.

Over three‐quarters of earthworm species lack protection in China, a crisis exacerbated by climate change

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Earthworms, as ‘ecosystem engineers', play a crucial role in regulating ecosystem functions and shaping community structures. Due to climate change, earthworms face severe survival pressures and extinction risks. However, whether conservation efforts targeting aboveground biodiversity can cover the long‐neglected earthworm diversity remains unknown. To

The Geological Evolution of the Tibetan Plateau

Science, 2008
The geological evolution of the Tibetan plateau is best viewed in a context broader than the India-Eurasia collision zone. After collision about 50 million years ago, crust was shortened in western and central Tibet, while large fragments of lithosphere moved from the collision zone toward areas of trench rollback in the western Pacific and Indonesia ...
