Food webs on green roofs are unique but less robust than their ground‐level counterparts

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 2, February 2026.
Green roofs operate as distinct habitats, offering novel environmental conditions, thus increasing urban habitat diversity and supporting denser but less robust food webs compared with ground‐level habitats. Increasing substrate depth and allowing for long‐term development can promote trophic diversity and robustness, informing strategies for urban ...

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Geranium sylvaticum*

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
Geranium sylvaticum is a perennial forb of upland grasslands, woodlands and riverbanks in northern Britain, with scattered native occurrences also in Wales, central England and Northern Ireland. It has an extensive native range in Europe and Asia. The species is gynodioecious, with individual plants typically female or hermaphrodite.

Contrasting drought responses in two grassland plant–microbe systems under climate change

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
By contrasting two plant strategies across a soil‐moisture gradient under warming and elevated CO2, this study shows how drought and climate jointly shape plant performance and associated microbiomes. The stress‐tolerant Festuca rubra responds through trait plasticity and flexible bacterial communities, whereas the competitive Lolium perenne relies ...

Properties and Limitations of eDNA Substrates for Terrestrial Animal Monitoring

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) constitutes a valuable tool for monitoring terrestrial animal diversity, but outcomes are affected by multiple factors. Among these factors, the choice of sampling substrate and method is especially important and must be aligned with research objectives.

Comparison of Spatio‐Temporal Dynamics and Composition in Size‐Fractionated and Unfractionated Northwestern Atlantic Microbial Communities

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
Size fractionation differentiates large, particle‐associated microbes from small, free‐living ones. We show that pooling size‐fractionated marine samples, normalised by their DNA concentration, either before or after sequencing produces community profiles nearly identical to unfractionated samples.
