Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 4, April 2026.Wildfire and invasive species interact in a south‐eastern Australian grassy woodland, with the soil seedbank introducing predominantly non‐native species into the extant vegetation after fire. This influx can temporarily increase ecosystem flammability and promote a grass–fire cycle.

Food resource richness increases seed disperser visitations and seed rain richness
Ecology and EvolutionWithin the context of global change, seed dispersal research often focuses on changes in disperser communities (i.e., seed dispersers, such as birds, in an area) resulting from habitat fragmentation.

Donkeys as mobile links for plant seed dispersal in coastal dune ecosystems [PDF]
, 2005 Long-distance seed dispersal is a key factor in vegetation dynamics, especially in highly dynamic ecosystems such as dune landscapes. To assess the role of large herbivores in long-distance seed dispersal in dunes, we examined epi- and endozoochory by ...

Driver's Seat: Understanding Divergent Zoochorous Dispersal of Propagules
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 The functional role, relative importance, and the spatial and temporal parameters of different vector species, which underpin the passive dispersal (zoochory) of organisms (or their propagules), are frequently poorly understood. Accordingly, a conceptual

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.Light is a key driver of understory plant diversity, also important for seed germination, yet its effect on forests soil seed bank diversity remains underexplored. This study assessed the impact of both light availability and spatio‐temporal heterogeneity on soil seed bank diversity.

Urban Microfarms: Hot or Cold Spots for Plants and Soil Biodiversity?
European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 2, March–April 2026.Investigation of soil and plant biodiversity in urban microfarms on the ground and on rooftops. ABSTRACT Urban agriculture plays a key role in urban ecosystems functionality and resilience, and can take many forms: allotment gardens, community garden or urban microfarms.

Zooplankton Diversity and Dispersal by Birds; Insights From Different Geographical Scales
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Given the major ecological and evolutionary role of dispersal abilities for organisms, as well as the current interest in species' potential for further migration and colonization as a result of climatic changes or human-mediated invasions, our knowledge

Bedeutung der Megaherbivoren-Beweidung für die Renaturierung artenreicher Feuchtgrünländer auf ehemaligen Ackerflächen [PDF]
, 2013 Species-rich wet grasslands in floodplains are on focus of European nature conservation policy. However, since the seventies of the last century large areas with grasslands in floodplains have been meliorated, ploughed and used for intensive cropping in ...

OCCURRENCE OF LINDERNIA DUBIA IN THE IPOLY VALLEY (HUNGARY AND SLOVAKIA) [PDF]
, 2015 A survey for invasive alien species was carried out along the Ipoly River (Danube catch-ment area) at the border between Hungary and Slovakia in 2010 and 2011. Lindernia dubia was found in three locations on both sides of the river. The paper gives the
