Estimating Distribution Range Shifts of the Japanese Alpine Butterfly Colias palaeno Induced by Historical Climate Fluctuations and the Crucial Role of Its Host Plant

open access: yesEcological Research, Volume 41, Issue 4, July 2026.
In this study, we used ecological niche models to quantify historical changes in the estimated distribution ranges of the alpine butterfly Colias palaeno and its host plant Vaccinium uliginosum in Japan. The results showed that temperature and host plant occurrence strongly influence the estimated distribution of C. palaeno.

Worldwide Invasions of Centrarchidae: The Dark Side of the Sunfish Family

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 781-812, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Freshwater fish invasions are major drivers of global ecological change, disrupting native biodiversity and ecosystem functions. However, many invasive fish hold significant socioeconomic value, resulting in conflict over their management. Centrarchidae, which are globally distributed and are important for sportfishing and aquaculture, are now
