Sex matters: European urban birds flee approaching women sooner than approaching men
People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 316-326, February 2026.Abstract Flight initiation distance (FID) is a metric often used to study an individual's perceptions of risk when facing a predatory threat. Longer FID indicates lower risk‐taking, while shorter FID identifies bolder individuals who tolerate greater risk.

Age of innovation: Progress in systematic botany in the 20th century
TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 1, Febuary 2026.Abstract Systematic botany can be regarded as the oldest of the botanical sciences, having originated with the ancient Greeks. Although much progress has been achieved in systematic botany over nearly two millennia, in the 20th century, many significant innovations took place in revealing processes of evolution, principles and methods of classification,
