Advancing conservation breeding programs for marine invertebrates

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In the face of ecosystem change and biodiversity loss caused by climate change and other stressors, conservation breeding, or captive breeding, with the aim of reintroduction for wild population recovery, is an emerging tool for preventing species’ extinction and rehabilitating ecosystems.

Genomics‐informed management of ex situ populations

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The European Association of Zoos and Aquariums (EAZA) manages insurance populations for hundreds of species through its EAZA ex situ programs (EEPs). EEPs help safeguard against extinction in the wild and provide source populations for genetic rescue programs.

Strength–Ductility Enhancement in Additively Manufactured Titanium Alloys via Neutral Element‐Mediated Microstructural Control

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT To overcome the challenges of the strength‐ductility trade‐off in laser additively manufactured (LAM) titanium alloys, and to avoid the intragranular microstructure degradation often caused by an exclusive focus on grain equiaxialization, this work proposes a novel strategy of “grain morphology‐intragranular microstructure co‐optimization ...

Synergetic Ruthenium Clusters and Ligand Motifs in Insoluble Polyoxometalates for Efficient Urea Electrosynthesis

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The electrocatalytic co‐reduction of CO2 and nitrate (NO3− ${\text{NO}}_{3}^{-}$) to synthesize urea presents a sustainable alternative to traditional industrial processes, yet its efficiency is fundamentally limited by the kinetically mismatched activation and coupling of CO2 and NO3− ${\text{NO}}_{3}^{-}$.

Interface‐Stabilized Glass‐Ceramic/Silver Composite Coatings Enable Predictable Multiband Infrared Stealth Under High‐Temperature Marine Environment

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Infrared (IR) stealth is crucial for improving the survivability of equipment. The growing demand for service in marine environments poses new challenges to the composition and structural design of existing IR stealth coatings. This study first investigates the effects of NaCl/water vapor corrosion on the IR stealth performance of GH3536 and a

Ce Modification Induces Interfacial Electron Reconstruction to Stabilize Co(OH)2 Framework and Enhance Hydrogen Evolution Reaction Kinetics

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT A central challenge in alkaline water electrolysis is the development of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalysts that simultaneously maintain high activity and structural stability at industrial current densities. Hydroxide‐based supports that facilitate water dissociation are particularly susceptible to over‐reduction and ...

Farm‐Scale Recharge Pits for Improving Local Groundwater Availability: Insights From a Hardrock Watershed in Rajasthan, India

World Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Groundwater depletion is a major challenge in semiarid, hard‐rock regions where irrigation demands often exceed natural recharge. This study evaluates the effectiveness of farm‐scale recharge pits as a local, supplementary, and community‐managed groundwater recharge solution in the Dharta catchment of Rajasthan, India. Alongside check dams and

Perceived costs as drivers of wildlife management preferences in rural Tanzanian communities

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Effectively managing human–wildlife interactions is crucial for fostering coexistence on shared landscapes. Management options are most effective when aligned with the preferences of people directly affected by wildlife, yet little is known about how socioecological factors influence these preferences.

Structured machine learning modeling to support conservation of deep‐sea benthic biodiversity

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Biodiversity monitoring programs need to deliver accurate, timely, and actionable predictions. To establish a predictive monitoring program for deep‐sea benthos of the Santos Basin, Brazil, we developed a two‐stage structured model that allowed comparison of biodiversity predictions obtained from environmental simulations (2M‐Sim).

Informal supply chains of wild meat from rural Amazonia and food security in an urban center

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Iquitos, the most populated city in the Peruvian Amazon, is a hub in the regional supply chain of wild meat and supplies urban consumers. Studies on wild meat consumption have focused primarily on markets, limiting the scope of species considered to those that are economically valuable and potential inferences from those data.
