Nature Ecology & Evolution, Published online: 24 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41559-026-03148-5 Visionary comparative biomechanist and physiologist who pioneered experimental methods for laboratory and field research into large-mammal locomotor performance and ecology.]]>

Nature Ecology & Evolution, Published online: 22 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41559-026-03132-z Daily monitoring by underwater imaging of an entire lake plankton community over five years reveals that grazing, competition and facilitation dynamically modify the temperature and nutrient conditions in which toxic cyanobacterial blooms can form.]]>

Nature Ecology & Evolution, Published online: 20 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41559-026-03131-0 Using five years of daily lake plankton monitoring data and empirical dynamic modelling, this study shows that grazing, competition and facilitation reshape the temperature and nutrient conditions required for toxic cyanobacterial blooms.]]>

Takehiro Sasaki
Nature Ecology & Evolution, Published online: 15 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41559-026-03130-1 Biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning under climate extremes may depend on ecosystem type and baseline aridity. Here the authors show that the effects of plant diversity on productivity are strongest under extreme drought in more arid grasslands, whereas comparable context dependence is not detected in forests or under heat extremes.]]>

Nature Ecology & Evolution, Published online: 15 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41559-026-03127-w We synthesized data from 75 biodiversity experiments across grasslands and forests worldwide to test how climate extremes and environmental context shape the effects of plant diversity on productivity. We found that the effects of plant diversity intensify in extreme drought and in more arid grasslands, driven by strengthened complementarity among species.]]>

Mark C. Urban
Nature Ecology & Evolution, Published online: 26 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41559-026-03123-0 A global research coordination programme is urgently needed for biodiversity]]>

Irene Salinas
Nature Ecology & Evolution, Published online: 26 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41559-026-03113-2 A search for homologues of key vertebrate immune proteins in cnidarians reveals that a classic antiviral signalling pathway instead restricts antiviral activity to allow normal host–viriome interactions in sea anemones.]]>

Lian Pin Koh
Nature Ecology & Evolution, Published online: 26 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41559-026-03124-z A disproportionate emphasis on carbon markets in conservation discourse risks distorting the picture of how and where to finance nature recovery.]]>

Yin Wang
Nature Ecology & Evolution, Published online: 23 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41559-026-03114-1 Multitrophic interactions may affect plant diversity–stability relationships. This analysis of 430 empirical plant–herbivore networks suggests that plant–herbivore interactions are a key driver of the temporal stability of ecosystem productivity under climatic disturbance.]]>

Mingtao Liao
Nature Ecology & Evolution, Published online: 17 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41559-026-03107-0 Genetic assays show that rewiring DSX, a master regulator of sex-biased development, and E93, a regulator of wing morphogenesis, controls female-specific wing regression in the turtle cockroach and other insects.]]>

Josh J. Arbon
Nature Ecology & Evolution, Published online: 16 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41559-026-03104-3 Using 10 years of GPS data and behavioural observations, the authors show that wild dwarf mongooses pre-emptively alter their behaviours, including space use and sentinel calling, in relation to the level of threat posed by the size of rival groups.]]>

Leo Zeitler
Nature Ecology & Evolution, Published online: 02 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41559-026-03087-1 This paper presents sPYce, a method that integrates single-nucleus ATAC-seq data across species, allowing for comparison of gene regulatory evolution across species.]]>

Nature Ecology & Evolution, Published online: 02 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41559-026-03083-5 Continuous 90-year trends of butterflies and deadwood-dependent beetles show clear mid-century declines and only partial recovery of these taxa. The declines were clearly related to agricultural intensification, and climate change and more biodiversity-friendly management helped in the recovery and stabilization — although butterflies are still far from their original diversity.]]>

Nature Ecology & Evolution, Published online: 01 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41559-026-03033-1 Using a dated phylogeny of 16,585 species, we map floristic endemism patterns in China and identify Central China as a critical, overlooked conservation priority. We advocate for the designation of this area as a global biodiversity hotspot to safeguard its unique flora and high endemism from further habitat loss.

Nature Ecology & Evolution, Published online: 31 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41559-026-03025-1 A dated phylogeny of 16,585 vascular plant species native to China reveals three major centres of endemism, including a potential new global biodiversity hotspot.
