Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Understanding which processes regulate spatial variation in species abundance across their ranges is key in ecology. Species abundances may be affected by several factors, such as climate, elevation, land cover, species interactions and habitat protection status. However, few studies have focused on these effects synergistically across species

Host‐Driven Genetic Diversity of Leptospira in the Americas: A Continental Perspective
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Leptospira is a genetically diverse genus of spirochetes comprising over 68 species, including several pathogenic taxa such as L. interrogans, L. santarosai, L. noguchii, and L. weilii. These bacteria infect a wide range of vertebrates, especially mammals, with infected animals serving as renal carriers that excrete the pathogen through urine.

Parental Provisioning in an Urban Apex Predator
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.We combine high‐definition webcams and citizen science to explore parental care in urban peregrine falcons from 30 locations across England between 2020 and 2023. By analysing detailed webcam footage, we quantified changes in prey type and delivery rates as chicks developed.

Pollen essential amino acids shape bat–flower interaction networks
Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 11, Page 3311-3324, November 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Although pollen consumption by phytophagous bats has long been documented, the role of its protein and amino acid content in driving plant–pollinator interactions remains largely overlooked.
