Risk of Secondary Extinction in the Asian Songbird Trade, as Exemplified by the Selling of Crested Jayshrikes as Master Birds

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.
The Asian Songbird Crises negatively affects so‐called master birds, species that are used to increase the song complexity of competitive songbirds. We assessed the trade in a master bird, the crested jayshrike, in Indonesia before and after its legal protection.

Elevation, soil pH and calcium availability shape regional and local scale spatial patterns of PhoD gene abundance in tropical and subtropical forests

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Organic phosphorus mineralization is a critical process in the phosphorus cycle, governing phosphorus bioavailability for plants. The PhoD gene, which encodes the key enzyme alkaline phosphatase, serves as a valuable biomarker for this process.

Lessons from an eradication under multiple constraints of an island rat population of record density

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Invasive rats threaten island biodiversity, disrupting ecosystems and endangering native species. Although rat eradication has succeeded on many islands, tropical islands present unique management challenges. Strict regulations and financial constraints on some tropical islands further limit proven eradication methods, complicating rodent ...

Effects of political identity activation and inaccurate metaperceptions on attitudes toward wolves

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Polarization between groups can undermine durable conservation outcomes. Activating group identities (i.e., an individual's sense of self derived from membership in a group) can exacerbate differences, especially when people hold inaccurate perceptions of their peers and rivals.

Topics as Outcomes: Modeling the Influence of Intergovernmental Grants on Policy Diffusion

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Intergovernmental grants stimulate the diffusion of policy reforms, as the federal government provides states with a financial incentive to adopt policies aligned with federal priorities. Less is known about the extent to which these grants also stimulate horizontal diffusion across states.

Ionic‐Liquid‐Assisted Synthesis of NiTe/CoTe Heterostructure With Te Vacancies in N, P, and F Co‐Doped Hollow Carbon Nanorods for Efficient Alkaline Hydrogen Evolution and High‐Performance Flexible Supercapacitors

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Low conductivity, slow ion‐diffusion, and limited reactive sites are common problems in electrocatalysts and electrode materials. In this study, a complex NiTe–CoTe heterojunction with abundant Te vacancies embedded in N, P, and F co‐doped hollow carbon nanorods (NiTe1−x–CoTe1−x/NPFC) was fabricated via a simple ionic liquid‐assisted ...

Colorimetric and Photothermal Hollow Nanocomposite Based on Silver‐Seeded Prussian Blue Analog for Dopamine Monitoring and Photothermal Sterilization

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Multi‐element Prussian blue analog (PBA) nanocomposites have attracted wide attention for their superior characteristics to single‐functional nanomaterials in extensive applications of diagnosis and therapy. In this study, a novel hollow nanocomposite was designed and fabricated by embedding S2− and Ag nanoparticles into a NiCuMnFe (PBA).

Fabrication‐Driven Oxidation Pathways in Y/Hf‐Modified High‐Entropy Alloys: From Elemental Segregation to Oxide Homogeneity

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT This study elucidates the oxidation mechanisms governing Y/Hf‐doped AlCoCrFeNiTi high‐entropy alloys (HEAs) and reveals the pivotal role of fabrication processes in dictating high‐temperature oxidation behavior. We demonstrate that casting and spark plasma sintering (SPS) promote Y/Hf segregation, resulting in heterogeneous oxide formation and

High‐Coercivity Nd2Fe14B/α‐Fe Nanocomposites With Ultrafine Nanocrystalline Structure via Zr‐Induced Synchronous Precipitation

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Nanocomposite permanent magnets with reduced rare‐earth content represent a promising class of materials for next‐generation high‐performance applications. However, asynchronous precipitation of soft and hard magnetic phases often results in grain size mismatch and limited coercivity.
