Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract The Greater Cape Floristic Region (GCFR) of South Africa is globally recognized for its exceptional plant diversity and endemism, yet faces mounting threats from habitat loss, altered fire regimes, and invasive species. Fire is a key ecological driver in the Fynbos (shrubland) biome of the GCFR, influencing vegetation structure, composition ...

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Refugial areas and habitats are thought to have played a key role in facilitating both the emergence and persistence of floristic diversity in the Greater Cape Floristic Region (GCFR) of South Africa. While refugial areas may be identified using a diversity of biological proxies (e.g., narrow‐range endemism; paleoendemism), there is a ...

Using GPS telemetry to validate least-cost modeling of gray squirrel ( Sciurus carolinensis) movement within a fragmented landscape [PDF]
, 2013 In Britain, the population of native red squirrels Sciurus vulgaris has suffered population declines and local extinctions. Interspecific resource competition and disease spread by the invasive gray squirrel Sciurus carolinensis are the main factors ...

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 63, Issue 5, Page 2650-2665, December 2025.ABSTRACT Schoenus vacillans is a sedge described from New Zealand in 1878 by Thomas Kirk. However, for over one hundred years, S. vacillans has been considered a synonym of the morphologically‐variable S. apogon, which occurs in New Zealand, Australia, Taiwan, New Guinea and possibly Japan. Here we investigate the taxonomic status of S.

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 12, Page 3300-3313, December 2025.Our findings underscore the value of extensive hedgerow management in promoting on‐farm bat activity and support the integration of simple hedgerow quality assessment protocols into agri‐environment schemes. Consistent with previous research, we confirm the importance of tall, tree‐filled hedgerows and emphasise the need to preserve mature trees.
