Toward a unified understanding of people’s aversion to nature: biophobia
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 24, Issue 1, February 2026.Human–nature relationships are often framed positively, but research rarely addresses biophobia, the aversion to nature. However, negative relationships with nature are likely to become more widespread following societal and environmental changes, with serious implications for public health and conservation efforts.

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.Biological models in nature reveal remarkable friction‐adhesion mechanisms, driven by intermolecular forces and suction. Researchers leverage these principles to design advanced materials with enhanced adhesion properties. By optimizing these materials under stimuli like light and electricity, new solutions emerge for regulating interface interactions ...

Animal Conservation, Volume 29, Issue 1, Page 60-70, February 2026.Identifying the most effective criterion to assess the conservation status of vulnerable species in threatened tropical regions is crucial to evaluate recovery plans. We investigated the influence of environmental heterogeneity on the extent of occurrence (EOO), area of occupied habitat (AOH), and density variation of two Amazonian riparian frog ...

Participatory citizen science data complements agency‐collected data for species inventories
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.Citizen science data from iNaturalist and eBird can make meaningful contributions in complementing state agency‐derived species inventories of state parks in Florida. Agency data and citizen science data overlap in the species they document and each provides novel species in different parks.

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 1, Page 201-213, January 2026.Abstract Neuroanatomy studies in vertebrates have garnered significant attention in recent years, particularly driven by advancements in computerized tomography imaging techniques. Nonetheless, these advancements remain largely constrained to specific vertebrate groups, notably mammals, birds, and fish, leaving studies in reptiles at an incipient stage.
