Elevation Filters Lizard Species Occurrences and Assemblages in Chitwan Annapurna Landscape, Nepal

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We investigated lizard species richness,assemblage patterns, and environmental drivers along the elevational gradient in the Chitwan Annapurna Landscape during 2018–2019. We recorded 23 lizard species and found that species richness varied significantly and non‐linearly with elevation, peaking at mid elevation. Species turnover dominated beta diversity,

Phylogenetic Diversity Outperforms Functional Diversity in Predicting Aboveground Biomass Across Tree Strata in a Subtropical Forest

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Conducted in a subtropical forest in southwestern China, this study evaluates how various dimensions of plant biodiversity regulate aboveground biomass (AGB) across forest strata under consistent edaphic and topographic conditions, addressing the insufficiently elucidated question of which biodiversity dimension most prominently impacts AGB ...

Over three‐quarters of earthworm species lack protection in China, a crisis exacerbated by climate change

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Earthworms, as ‘ecosystem engineers', play a crucial role in regulating ecosystem functions and shaping community structures. Due to climate change, earthworms face severe survival pressures and extinction risks. However, whether conservation efforts targeting aboveground biodiversity can cover the long‐neglected earthworm diversity remains unknown. To

A valid name for the Xishuangbanna gourd, a cucumber with carotene-rich fruits [PDF]

PhytoKeys, 2017
Herbarium specimens deposited in publicly accessible collections are the basis for all scientific names because only permanent specimens can be re-studied by independent researchers, the very essence of science. Re-investigations may be done with morphological, chemical, genomic, computer-tomographic, or other methods.
