Ibis, EarlyView.Sympatric species are expected to use resources differently along one or more ecological dimensions. This can be complex when there is partial separation along multiple dimensions, such as where bird species exhibit similarities in habitat use and diet.

Selection of native Atlantic Forest species for urban greening under air pollution stress
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction The Air Pollution Tolerance Index (APTI) is widely used to identify pollution‐tolerant species for afforestation; however, it was not designed to account for traits such as pollutant accumulation or biomass storage, which are also relevant for evaluating environmental resilience.

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Platform companies like Uber and Airbnb are depicted as agile policy entrepreneurs who can navigate the boundaries of regulatory frameworks and manipulate regulations to their advantage; however, recent empirical studies suggest that their capacity to influence policy depends on the particular political and institutional context.

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.ABSTRACT Seed traits offer valuable insights into colonization strategies under climatic unpredictability. In seasonally dry tropical forests, such traits help explain species adaptations to water availability, which is critical for effective restoration.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.Fundão tailings‐dam failure (2015)—study area and impact gradient. Regional maps locate the Rio Doce Basin in southeastern Brazil and the Fundão dam (red cross), with the black rectangle marking the extent of the main map. The main map follows the downstream tailings pathway along the river corridor (plume highlight).

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2379-2391, August 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Paleontological data provide information on natural environments prior to human influence, which are useful for tracking changes in ecosystem functioning through time. During the Late Pleistocene, about 10% of terrestrial mammalian species were extinct in South America.

Demographic buffering in natural populations: A multi‐level perspective
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1298-1310, August 2026.We introduce a multi‐level framework that unites stochastic elasticities with nonlinear selection to test demographic buffering. Applying it across mammals reveals a key insight: ecological robustness to variability often decouples from evolutionary constraint, reshaping how we understand resilience under environmental stochasticity.

Understanding mammal avoidance of human settlements
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1504-1517, August 2026.Terrestrial mammals often avoid human settlements, but is this a result of human activity around buildings or the built infrastructure per se? Using data on animal movement before and during the COVID‐19 lockdowns, this paper disentangles these effects, showing how changes in human mobility affect animals' avoidance of buildings. Abstract Anthropogenic

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 3, August 2026.ABSTRACT A maximum parsimony analysis based on morphological characters (23 taxa; 98 characters; 1951 scorings) was conducted to test the monophyly of Discocyrtulus Roewer, 1927, and to assess its phylogenetic relationships within Gonyleptidae. The results recover the species currently assigned to Discocyrtulus as phylogenetically distant from ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.Abstract Bioinvasions are considered mostly as a biodiversity and conservation hazard, but in specific situations, introduced species can bring ecological or socioeconomic benefits. We assessed the social–ecological role of marine introduced species in the eastern Mediterranean Sea—a global hotspot of bioinvasions and extirpations—and their potential ...
