This study examines heritable trait variation and adaptive lags in Hordeum murinum, finding strong temperature-driven genetic differentiation but potential mismatch with rapid climate change.

The paper shows climate, not latitude, drives plant-pollinator specialisation globally, with specialisation peaking at northern mid-latitudes and declining in warmer, more seasonal climates.

The paper synthesizes passive acoustic monitoring data across ecosystems to assess global coverage and identify gaps in biodiversity monitoring.

The study detects Usutu virus in wild birds in Portugal, identifies it as the African 3.1 lineage, and highlights the utility of hunting partridges for virus surveillance.

This paper describes a method combining automatic light traps and DNA metabarcoding to assess nocturnal flying insect communities, showing higher efficiency and taxonomic coverage compared to traditional methods.
