Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Across the Mediterranean Basin, land abandonment has opened large areas to passive rewilding, raising questions about the pace and variability of secondary succession in these landscapes and how ecological and abiotic gradients mediate vegetation recovery in post‐agricultural landscapes. Objectives This study aims to quantify long‐

Seeing Through an Ant's Eyes: Do Entomopathogenic Fungi Extend Their Cognition to Their Hosts?
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Post‐cognitivist approaches recognize cognition as a phenomenon that involves not just brains but all the sensorimotor apparatus of organisms. This means that brains are not always required for the emergence of cognition and that every organism can, in principle, be cognitive, unlocking a theoretical framework to explain the complex adaptive ...

Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT Urban green space is important for conserving biodiversity in urban landscapes, however, the dominant management regime in urban green space (regular mowing) has relatively low biodiversity value. We explored if direct‐seeding (scrape and sow), planting (and mulching) and passive restoration are viable alternatives to regular mowing for ...

Fine‐root trait variation in temperate trees follows arc‐shape pattern along deep soil profiles
New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 3, Page 1101-1115, August 2026.Root trait variation along the soil depth profile in four temperate tree species. Summary Roots are plants' interface with the soil, controlling access to water and nutrients. Yet, fine‐root trait variation along deep soil profiles and its functional implications remain poorly understood.

Tracking a Rangeland Fire With Infrasound Arrays
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.Abstract We present the first infrasound analyses of a rangeland fire and demonstrate infrasound's potential in monitoring wildland fires. We recorded a prescribed fire in sagebrush steppe in cool, moist conditions, using eight infrasound arrays of diverse size (3–44 sensors, 10–200 m width) and distance (0–20 km), including four arrays inside the burn
