Ecosystem‐Centered Robot Design: Toward Ecoresorbable Sustainability Robots (ESRs)

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 15, 13 March 2026.
Robots exploring natural ecosystems can support monitoring and conservation, but must adopt ecosystem‐centered design to avoid pollution, waste, and damage. This review proposes guidelines for co‐designing ecoresorbable sustainability robots (ESRs), uniting materials, robotics, and ecological contexts in a single framework.

Global Climatic Zones in the Last Glacial Maximum Estimated From Assimilated Temperature Data

open access: yesAtmospheric Science Letters, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study estimated Global Climatic Zones (GCZs) during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) using assimilated temperature data and the k‐means++ machine learning method for enhanced objectivity. Present‐day GCZ boundaries were determined and then applied to the LGM data, which was 6°C cooler globally. Results showed all LGM zones shifted toward the equator,

Plant interactions, climate, and the reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) interdependently shape vegetation in northern Finland

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 2, March 2026.
Abstract There is limited understanding on how complex interdependencies among large herbivore grazing, competitive and facilitative interactions among plants, and the changes in temperatures and precipitation shape northern boreal and subarctic ecosystems.

Utilization of remote sensing in Alaska permafrost studies [PDF]

open access: yes
Permafrost related features such as: aufeis, tundra, thaw lakes and subsurface ice features were studied. LANDSAT imagery was used to measure the extent and distribution of aufeis in Arctic Slope rivers over a period of 7 years.

Predation Risk Does Not Delay Breeding but Reduces Nest Survival in High‐Arctic Shorebirds

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We assessed the impact of arctic foxes' predation pressure on two sympatric sandpiper species. Fox activity influenced the breeding ecology of both sandpipers, with earlier nest initiations and lower nest survival rates in areas of high fox activity. ABSTRACT Understanding predator–prey interactions is crucial for correctly answering many fundamental ...

Retracing the Response of Rangifer to Postglacial Climate Change in Arctic Islands

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Our study examines the role of sea ice and glacial retreat in shaping the biogeography of Rangifer tarandus across Arctic islands since the last glacial period. Using mitochondrial DNA analysis and approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) modelling, we found that Arctic island dispersal occurred during the Holocene, with sea ice cover likely influencing ...

Satellite‐Derived NDVI Predicts Forage Availability in a Wild Ungulate System: Ground‐Truthing Using Field‐Collected Vegetation Biomass

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study uses three decades of field‐collected vegetation biomass data to ground‐truth satellite‐derived Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data from Landsat imagery as a proxy for resource availability for wild red deer on the Isle of Rum, Scotland.
