- 1French Greens and LFI trade blame over Senate seat loss●Les Ecolos et LFI s'accusent mutuellement l'absence d'un troisième siège pour les Français de l'étranger aux sénatoriale
The Ecologist party and La France Insoumise are blaming each other after the left failed to win a third Senate seat representing French citizens abroad. LFI figures, including Danielle Simonnet's ally Bompard, argue the Greens' refusal of a joint EELV-LFI list handed the seat to the right, while the Greens reject that account. The quarrel exposes fresh tensions on the French left after the senatorial elections.
- 2America's Fall Colors Are Changing, Scientists Explain Why▼America’s fall colors are changing, and scientists say this is why
Scientists say autumn foliage across the United States is shifting, with peak colors arriving later or appearing less vivid in many regions. Experts attribute the changes to warming temperatures, altered rainfall patterns and longer growing seasons, which stress trees and disrupt the usual timing of leaf color change, raising concern among ecologists and leaf-peeping communities.

- 4New special issue calls for papers on evolutionary biodiversity research▼New special issue of Biological Diversity call for papers decoding biodiversity through evolutionary mechanisms
The journal Biological Diversity has announced a call for papers for a new special issue focused on decoding biodiversity through evolutionary mechanisms. The issue invites researchers to submit work exploring how evolutionary processes shape species diversity, patterns of distribution, and ecosystem variation. The announcement is circulating among biologists, ecologists, and evolutionary scientists looking for publication opportunities on the topic.

A new commentary in The Ecologist describes a recent event as 'a brutal reminder' of the dangers of climate change. The piece argues that the episode should push governments and the public to take global warming more seriously. Little concrete detail about the specific event is given beyond the warning itself.
- 6Why animals are moving to hotter places as the world warms▼Why are so many animals moving to hotter places as the world warms?
Scientists are examining why numerous animal species appear to be shifting their ranges toward hotter regions rather than cooler ones, a pattern that runs counter to expectations that wildlife would flee warming temperatures. Researchers are exploring possible explanations, including habitat loss, competition and the way climate change reshapes ecosystems, and the counterintuitive trend is drawing attention among ecologists studying how species adapt to a rapidly changing planet.
