Breeding Behaviors and Kinship in the Endangered Hawaiian Stilt (Ae‘o; Himantopus mexicanus knudseni)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
A comparison of behavioral observations with genetic analyses of the Hawaiian Stilt on Molokaʻi revealed some evidence of conspecific parasitism, potential extra‐pair paternity, and inbreeding, although most observed family groups clustered together genetically, suggesting these alternative tactics may be relatively rare.

A Methodological Case Study for Integrating Virtual Reality and 3D Photogrammetry: A Pilot Digital Platform for Exploring Mangrove Environments

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
This study presents a methodological prototype that demonstrates the potential of integrating virtual reality and 3D photogrammetry to address the logistical and safety challenges inherent in exploration within sensitive habitats, with particular focus on mangrove ecosystems.

Climate Change Impacts on the Distribution Patterns and Habitat Suitability of the Oriental Stork (Ciconia boyciana) in China: Implications for the “30 × 30” Conservation Targets

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Using an optimized MaxEnt model integrated with the HSI‐InVEST habitat quality model, we predicted that suitable habitats for the Oriental Stork in China will expand (0.22%–7.82%) and shift northeastward under future climate scenarios, with altitude and precipitation identified as key drivers.

Hydrological Conditions Drive Colonial Waterbird Breeding Dynamics in Monsoon‐Dependent Wetlands of Southern India

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Colonial waterbirds depend on wetlands for breeding, yet the relative importance of hydrological conditions and short‐term climatic variability remains poorly understood in monsoon‐dependent systems. Using three years of data from nine wetlands in southern India, we found that wetland water extent was the strongest predictor of nesting arrival, colony ...

Environmental filtering and spatial structuring differ among body‐size and reproductive‐mode groups of microcrustacean zooplankton in hardwater lakes

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Local environmental factors are considered primary drivers of lake zooplankton community assembly, yet the roles of landscape factors and dispersal processes remain underexplored. We examined 78 hardwater lakes across the northern Great Plains (Canada) to evaluate how local (water chemistry, morphometric, and catchment characteristics ...
