Distribution, scale, and drivers of mass mortality events in Europe's freshwater bivalves

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Mass mortality events (MMEs) are decimating populations and compromising key ecosystem functions around the globe. One taxon particularly vulnerable to MMEs is freshwater bivalve mollusks. This group has important ecosystem engineering capacities and includes highly threatened and highly invasive taxa.

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

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
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.

Spatial identification of areas suitable for other effective area‐based conservation measures in the European Union

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Although significant biodiversity has been safeguarded by protected areas (PAs), biodiversity trends continue downward. Within the frameworks of the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 and the new EU Restoration Regulation (2024), conserving critical biodiversity areas is essential.

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 ...

Interfacial Electronic Interactions in Hierarchical Heterostructure Electrocatalyst for Energy‐Saving Hydrogen Production at Industrial Current Densities

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Developing low‐energy‐input electrocatalytic systems for efficient hydrogen production is crucial for advancing sustainable energy technologies. The overall hydrazine splitting (OHzS) has emerged as a promising strategy to reduce the overall energy consumption by replacing the sluggish oxygen evolution reaction.

Contrasting light demands determine the coordination of plants' non‐structural carbohydrates and economic strategy over the range of solar spectral composition

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 534-552, February 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Non‐structural carbohydrates (NSC) are critical mediators of plant adaptation to fluctuating light environments. They are tightly coordinated with plant economic strategy, that is, leaf economics spectrum (LES) and root economics spectrum (RES).

Implications of global distributive justice principles for implementation of the Kunming‐Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract In the era of the sixth mass extinction, reversing global biodiversity loss is of vital importance for life on Earth. In 2022, parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) adopted the Kunming‐Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), a strategic plan with 23 action‐oriented targets to be achieved by 2030.

Effect of a Spray Containing Occlusive Agents, Humectants and Physiological Lipids on Skin Hydration of Healthy Dogs When Applied After Bathing With a Chlorhexidine 2%/Miconazole 2% Shampoo

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 140-147, February 2026.
Background: Normal hydration of the canine epidermis is imperative for cutaneous homeostasis. Xerosis may be encountered in canine atopic dermatitis and may be aggravated by topical antiseptics. Hypothesis and Objectives: To evaluate the hydrating properties and the safety of a spray (Sensiderm spray; MP Labo) when applied after shampooing healthy dogs

Single Cold Atmospheric Plasma Therapy May Improve the Treatment Outcome of Canine Otitis Externa With Secondary Infection

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 103-110, February 2026.
Background: Otitis externa with secondary bacterial or yeast infection is a common problem in small animal practice. Cold physical plasma (CPP) has been reported to have antimicrobial activity in vitro. Results: Ears treated additionally with CPP showed lower otic scores after 21 days compared to nontreated ears, although this difference was not ...

Decoupling the Roles of Corticosterone in Mediating Effects of Methylmercury and Chytrid Fungus (Bd) on Amphibian Survival 解构皮质酮在介导甲基汞与壶菌 (Bd) 对两栖动物生存影响中的双重作用

Wildlife Letters, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 143-151, December 2025.
Effects of methylmercury bioaccumulation on survival of Columbia Spotted Frogs were modified by sex and length and were mediated by corticosterone (a glucocorticoid hormone) whereas effects of chytrid fungus were limited. ABSTRACT Amphibians have suffered widespread declines caused by many interacting factors whose effects are often difficult to ...
