Conversation about transhumance and climate change
, 2019 Bijender and Tikam discuss the practice of transhumance, which is when animal flocks are moved to higher pastures at the start of a new season. They are asked whether this practice is still necessary, in light of climate change. The recording was made at

Genomic Variation and Population Structure of Portuguese Native Dog Breeds
Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.ABSTRACT The presence of dogs in Portugal is confirmed by zooarchaeological evidence dating to at least 7600 years ago. The 11 native dog breeds that exist in this territory are therefore the end‐product of a complex evolutionary process. This study characterises the genomic diversity and population structure of 10 native breeds based on whole‐genome ...

The seed bank created by the dung of large herbivores drives seed circulation in an alpine meadow
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Seed circulation (i.e., sexual reproduction) is vital for the regeneration of aboveground grassland vegetation (AGV). It occurs in several steps: seed production (seed rain, SR), dispersal (endozoochory, i.e., dung seed bank, DSB), formation of the soil seed bank (SSB), germination, seedling growth, and establishment of adult plants.

Widespread Aquatic Insect Responses to Recent Warming in Swiss Mountain Lakes
Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.Chironomids in surface sediment from 24 Swiss mountain lakes were studied and compared with surveys conducted on the same lakes in 1993/2002 to assess biological responses to recent climate warming. Most lakes show significant shifts in this important group of aquatic insects towards assemblages typical of warmer conditions, while a subset exhibits ...

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.Presence of large ungulates increased richness and abundance of some insect taxa. Across taxa, it supported life history traits declining in modern industrialised landscapes. Trophic rewilding thus represents a way to remedy undesirable effects of land use intensification, and to mimic conditions in which a substantial proportion of temperate insect ...

Assessing multifunctional mountain landscape in an Eastern European framework
Geographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2026.The research introduces the Biocultural Resilience Index (BRI), a novel tool for assessing multifunctional landscape sustainability. By integrating biological, cultural, and socio‐economic indicators, the BRI identifies vulnerable areas and informs strategies for sustainable management.

Transhumance et biodiversité : du passé au présent
, 1998 : The authors go back to the mountain origins of sheep transhumance, and the organisation that this required in the French Southern Alps, to illustrate the changes that have occurred in the second half of the 20th century.

Pastoralism and agro-ecosystems: a year of hour-by-hour sheep transhumance monitoring
Italian Journal of Animal ScienceTranshumance is a mobile form of pastoralism consisting of the constant movement of flocks to find access to forage. This practice is linked to both provisioning and non-provisioning ecosystem services, particularly cultural ones.
