Landscape heterogeneity affects developmental and dispersal‐related traits of a butterfly in agricultural landscapes

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 2, March 2026.
Abstract The loss and fragmentation of natural habitats due to the intensification of agricultural land use have detrimental impacts on the biodiversity of arthropods. The reduction of natural habitats results in a decreased availability of essential resources, which may select for rapid development and phenotypes enhancing dispersal ability.

Physiology–microhabitat matching may help organisms cope with the thermal and hydric challenges under climate change: a tale of two lizards

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
Climate change is significantly affecting biodiversity, and organisms that depend on external temperature – such as ectotherms – are particularly vulnerable to these effects. Microhabitats provide refuge for species, thereby reducing exposure to thermal and hydric stress under climate change.

Environmental watering elevates chytrid infection probability in frogs

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Prolonged drought associated with climate change is a global threat to amphibians. Environmental watering could limit declines but may worsen the amphibian disease chytridiomycosis which thrives in wet conditions. We aimed to discover how environmental water and chytrid interact to influence the survival of the endangered frog Pseudophryne ...

Remote sensing and geospatial analysis for the study of plant community regeneration in human‐modified landscapes

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Natural regeneration is essential for maintaining functionally diverse and resilient plant communities in human‐modified landscapes. To design and implement successful conservation and restoration initiatives in these landscapes, research on the environmental and anthropogenic drivers of natural regeneration must be scaled up beyond ...

Simulating air pollution in the urban microclimate

, 2019
With continuing urbanisation and business-as-usual emission regulation policies, mortalities due to urban air quality will continue to rise in the period up to 2050. Poor urban air quality has significant impacts across the three capitals of sustainability (environmental, economic and social effects).

Visitor Perception of Urban Fixtures in Historic Gardens and Implications for Cultural Heritage Tourism

International Journal of Tourism Research, Volume 28, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study explores how urban fixtures in historic gardens influence visitor perception and their implications for cultural heritage tourism. A total of 363 fixtures were inventoried across six historic gardens in Europe and Türkiye, and 326 participants evaluated their perceptual, esthetic, and emotional responses through an online survey ...

Cultivating biodiversity: When conservation in agricultural landscapes embodies farmers' values

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 706-723, March 2026.
Abstract Efforts to conserve biodiversity in agricultural landscapes across Europe remain insufficient, as biodiversity further declines. This is sometimes ascribed to conservation policy failing to address the meanings and values that farmers attribute to the social and ecological contexts shaping their decisions influencing biodiversity.
