Simultaneous Detection of Missing Amphibians and Their Fungal Pathogen in a Biodiversity Hotspot Using eDNA. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Since the 1970s, striking amphibian declines in population abundances and presumed extinctions have been recorded globally. The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is one of the key drivers of these declines. To investigate the potential role of Bd in the decline of Brazil's amphibians, we first used eDNA metabarcoding to survey

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Prostate cancer (PCa) is an endocrine‐related cancer highly dependent on androgenic signaling. Beyond hormone dependence, extrinsic factors play a significant role in the risk of developing PCa, which raises concern about the influence of environmental compounds such as endocrine‐disrupting chemicals (EDCs). Tributyltin (TBT) is an EDC used in

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract Participatory institutions are no longer confined to liberal democracies as autocrats around the world experiment with ‘authoritarian participation’. This also applies to the most successful democratic innovation of recent decades: participatory budgeting (PB).

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.We quantified the geographical overlap between parasitoid wasps and their known host spiders. We could assess which parasitoid species have more limited information about their interactions and are subject to geographical survey bias. We generated sampling bias maps to assist other researchers in identifying where the main sampling gaps are.

Physicians' hybridisation with accounting in public hospitals
Accounting &Finance, Volume 66, Issue 2, Page 2061-2083, June 2026.Abstract Accounting information has become an integral part of management tools in public hospitals. Following COVID‐19, the crisis in the supply chain and the war in Ukraine severely impacted the financing of public hospitals. In response to this multi‐crisis environment, physicians have increased their awareness on an efficient use of scarce ...

Chemical Biology &Drug Design, Volume 107, Issue 6, June 2026.Three decades of cruzain‐targeted drug discovery have yielded 215 sub‐micromolar inhibitors but no clinical candidates. This review diagnoses a systemic translational failure driven by single‐parameter optimisation and proposes a multiparametric framework integrating enzymatic potency, cathepsin selectivity, intracellular exposure, and metabolic ...

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 246-259, June 2026.This study was to describe the composition of sand fly fauna, detect potential vectors of Leishmania spp. in the Tinguá district, an ATL endemic, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Seven species of vectorial importance in the epidemiological cycle of leishmaniasis was observed: Nyssomyia intermedia, Migonemyia migonei, Pintomyia fischeri, Psychodopygus hirsutus ...

Preservative Ethanol From Stomach Contents Is a Reliable Proxy for Diet DNA Metabarcoding
Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.We tested whether DNA metabarcoding of preservative ethanol can substitute bulk stomach contents for reconstructing diets. Using two ethanol DNA extraction methods (precipitation and drying), the resulting profiles showed minor differences relative to each other and to bulk contents in richness, composition, and read counts, mostly limited to low ...

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 3, May 2026.Two helminth‐rodent networks were analyzed for two distinct areas. Network modularity, nestedness, and degree of specialization were calculated for each network. Higher network modularity than nestedness and high network specialization were observed in both networks, suggesting functional and/or taxonomic specialization between helminth species and ...

Uncertainty‐Aware Machine Learning Models for Flash Flood Prediction
Transactions in GIS, Volume 30, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT Flash floods have intensified in recent years, and machine learning (ML) models are increasingly used for real‐time prediction. However, most ML‐based flood‐forecasting studies remain largely deterministic and provide limited evidence on how input uncertainty propagates to forecasts, compromising reliability for operational early‐warning ...
