Enhanced Roofs for Passive Building Design: A Systematic Review of Thermal and Energy Performance

Applied Research, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2026.
This systematic review evaluates PCM‐ and NePCM‐integrated roofing systems for passive cooling. PCM roofs reduce heat flux and indoor temperature fluctuations, while NePCMs improve thermal conductivity with latent heat trade‐offs. Hybrid cooling strategies enhance performance, and future challenges in scalability, durability, and practical ...

A mosaic of microclimates: biodiversity outcomes and wildlife habitat potential in large‐scale solar facilities

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2158-2171, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The rapid global expansion of photovoltaic (PV) solar facilities, now comprising nearly 80% of the recent and projected growth of renewable electricity, represents one of the most significant land‐use changes of the 21st century. While PV facilities are critical for decarbonising energy systems, their large spatial footprint and infrastructure

Distribution Patterns and Environmental Correlates of Invasive Plants Along an Urbanization Gradient in a Medium‐Sized Mountainous City of Southwest China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
With accelerated urbanization, alien plant invasions threaten urban ecosystem stability, yet their patterns in medium‐sized mountainous cities remain understudied. We surveyed 63 plots in Anning City, China, finding 66 invasive species and a reverse distribution pattern: invasion richness and abundance increased with decreasing urbanization, with ...

Genomics Reveal Population Crash and Range Contraction in Elusive Fijian Hylaeus Bees

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
We used a novel paired low‐lying and canopy sampling technique with genomic data to assess the recently discovered canopy‐specialist Fijian Hylaeus bee clade. We found major (~99%) declines in population size since European colonisation, limited contemporary distributions and inter‐island genetic structuring.

Assessing Habitat Suitability and Exposure of the Endemic Vasconcellea candicans Under Climate Change and Urban Growth in Lima, Peru

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
This study integrated ensemble species distribution modelling and urban growth projections to evaluate current and future habitat suitability of V. candicans in the lomas ecosystems surrounding Lima under climate change and urban expansion scenarios. Results identified 2891 km2 of current high‐suitability habitat, with strong scenario‐dependent future ...

Stand and Landscape Drivers of Trap Captures of the Pine Wilt Disease Vector Monochamus alternatus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in the Qinling Mountains

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
This study examines how stand structure and surrounding landscape context influence the trap‐based abundance of Monochamus alternatus, the principal vector of pine wilt disease, in the Qinling Mountains of China. Using pheromone‐trap monitoring, multi‐scale landscape metrics, and multimodel inference, we show that local host composition and fine‐scale ...

Floral offer and seasonality shape plant–pollinator networks in tropical gardens

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Urban expansion is accelerating global pressure on pollinators and their interactions with plants. Urban green spaces may nevertheless act as key refuges, provided they offer a suitable floral environment. Here, we investigated how pollinator assemblages and plant–insect pollinator networks responded to spatial and temporal floral offer (i.e.,
