Relative Habitat Suitability of the Gray Fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) in the Central Great Plains 大平原中部灰狐 (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) 的生境相对适宜性

open access: yesWildlife Letters, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 94-101, June 2026.
Although once abundant across its range, gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) are purportedly declining. While range maps indicate that gray fox potentially occur throughout the central United States, contemporary distribution maps are needed. We developed a Habitat Suitability Model for six states, leveraging gray fox presence data in an ensemble ...

Root exudates mediate microorganisms to improve rhizosphere nutrient availability and crop productivity under straw mulching and slow‐release nitrogen fertilizer

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1725-1739, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Root exudates play a key role as signals and nutrients in mediating plant–microbe communication. However, critical knowledge gaps remain regarding how root exudates mediate soil–microbe–plant interactions to regulate crop yield under long‐term straw mulching combined ...

Representation of obligate groundwater‐dwelling copepod diversity in European protected areas

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Groundwaters sustain diverse surface ecosystems and are populated by metazoan species, mostly invertebrates, that provide fundamental ecological functions and are often of prominent conservation value due to narrow endemism and high phylogenetic rarity.

Functional homogenization of terrestrial mammals outside protected areas in the Hengduan Mountains, China

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Despite the crucial role of human impacts on biodiversity loss, many assessments of this loss focus on single metrics, such as species richness, and overlook the multidimensional effects of human activities. Because of its importance to ecosystem functioning, we investigated the functional diversity of medium‐ and large‐sized mammal ...

Template‐Assisted Construction of Atomically Dispersed Fe‐N‐C Catalysts With Dense Fe‐N4C Sites for Enhanced Oxygen Reduction Reaction

open access: yesRare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Atomically dispersed iron–nitrogen–carbon (Fe‐N‐C) catalysts have emerged as promising alternatives for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) owing to their highly atomic utilization. However, maintaining both Fe atomic dispersion and dense Fe‐Nx sites (typically below 2 wt%) in Fe‐N‐C catalysts is still a key challenge.

Multi‐barcoding‐based species identification using a hierarchical attention network with staged curriculum learning

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 1143-1160, April 2026.
Abstract DNA barcode‐based species identification has become pivotal in biodiversity research. Current barcoding‐based deep learning methods have advantages in species identification but exhibit significant limitations. By using COI barcoding alone, previous studies were unable to fully capture species identification features. Prior methods showed that

EU Policy‐Making in the Digital Age: Major Trends and Insights From Public Policy Research

open access: yesEuropean Policy Analysis, Volume 12, Issue 2, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT Has digitalization changed policy‐making dynamics at the European Union (EU) level? To investigate this issue, this article presents a scoping review of the literature on EU digital policy‐making. While much scholarship adopts a ‘Governance’ approach, two conceptually rich strands emerge: critical approaches, and digital sovereignty.

Exceptional Electromagnetic Wave Absorption in High‐Entropy Carbides Enabled by Lattice Distortion Engineering

open access: yesRare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The growing concern over human health issues, driven by increasingly severe electromagnetic pollution from 5G communication, has made the urgent development of high‐performance electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbing materials. Although carbide‐based materials are promising because of their conductive and polarization losses, existing single ...

Climate stability drives multidimensional nestedness of amphibian assemblages in a Chinese sky island system

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 636-654, March 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The nested subset pattern (nestedness) has been widely used to explain species distributions in island and fragmented systems. Mountain sky islands serve as critical natural laboratories for understanding the evolutionary consequences of geographic isolation and climate

Return of the Swamp Rabbit: Sylvilagus aquaticus Occupancy Increased and Expanded Along the Northern Extent of Its Distribution Range 沼泽兔的回归:沼泽兔 (Sylvilagus aquaticus) 在其分布范围北缘的分布率上升并向外扩张

open access: yesWildlife Letters, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 161-172, December 2025.
Swamp rabbit (Sulvilagus aquaticus) in southeast Missouri is increasing and expanding, with occupancy probabilities of 0.66 in 2010–2012 and 0.79 in 2021–2022. ABSTRACT Swamp rabbits (Sylvilagus aquaticus) are a bottomland hardwood specialist that have experienced range contraction at the northern and western extents of their range.
