Assessing the Corn Belt as an anthropogenic barrier to migrating landbirds in the United States

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.
Abstract Migrating landbirds adjust their flight and stopover behaviors to efficiently cross inhospitable geographies, such as the Gulf of Mexico and the Sahara Desert. In addition to these natural barriers, birds may increasingly encounter anthropogenic barriers created by large‐scale changes in land use. One such barrier could be the Corn Belt in the

Increasingly conservative N cycling in a wet tropical forest: Litter and stream N concentrations decline over 29 years despite surges from hurricanes

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 9, Page 2476-2496, September 2025.
Conceptual model integrating short‐ and long‐term responses of N in litterfall and stream water in a wet tropical forest subject to hurricanes. Despite N surges following hurricanes, N cycling becomes more conservative in the absence of frequent hurricanes.

Restricted Dispersal in the Late Successional Forest Tree Species Nothofagus Pumilio: Consequences Under Global Change

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
We aim to uncover the current and historic effective dispersal distances and characterize fine‐scale genetic structure in the forest tree species Nothofagus pumilio. Short seed dispersal distances mean N. pumilio distribution expansion capacity may be limited, especially in the context of global change.

Genomic and Physiological Basis of Structural and Foliar Trait Variation in Tropical Species Pterocarpus officinalis: Implications for Restoration in Future Drier Climates

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 18, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Tropical wetlands are some of the most threatened ecosystems in the world. Pterocarpus officinalis exists in swampy wetlands in riparian and fresh‐water coastal areas across the neotropics, supporting biodiversity and storm surge and flooding protection as well as water filtration. In Puerto Rico, P.

When do citizen scientists record biodiversity? Non‐random temporal patterns of recording effort and associated factors

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 4, Page 860-870, April 2025.
Abstract Citizen science data are increasingly used for ecological research, biodiversity conservation and monitoring. However, these data often present significant analytical challenges due to uneven recording efforts by citizen scientists. Biases caused by intra‐annual differences in levels of recording activity can be particularly severe, hindering ...

Systematic and taxonomic revision of the genus Austrocactus (Cactaceae) based on morphology and genome wide SNP‐data

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 74, Issue 2, Page 386-416, April 2025.
Abstract The post‐Miocene climatic history of arid environments in South America has been identified as a key driver of dispersal and diversification, particularly among plant groups such as Cactaceae. Despite their iconic status, many cactus genera remain poorly understood, and comprehensive taxonomic and systematic revisions using morphological and ...

The need for carbon finance schemes to tackle overexploitation of tropical forest wildlife

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 1, February 2025.
Abstract Defaunation of tropical forests, particularly from unsustainable hunting, has diminished populations of key seed dispersers for many tree species, driving shifts in forest community composition toward small‐fruited or wind‐dispersed trees with low wood density. Such shifts can reduce aboveground biomass, prompting calls for overexploitation to

Systematic meteorite collection in the Catalina Dense Collection area (Chile): Description and statistics

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 2, Page 308-323, February 2025.
Abstract We present the outcome of search campaigns conducted in the Catalina Dense Collection area (DCA) located in the central depression of the Atacama Desert, Chile. The “Catalina Systematic Collection” (CSC) was assembled through systematic on‐foot searches, resulting in a total of 1599 meteorites, before pairing, collected over a surface of 6.80 ...
