Assessing forest fragmentation and biodiversity impacts in sub‐Saharan Africa: Methodological challenges and conservation strategies for small‐scale agricultural landscapes

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Tropical forests in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) harbor around one‐third of the world's species but are becoming more fragmented due to the expansion of human settlements and small‐scale agricultural (SCA) areas. This study systematically reviewed the approaches and methods used to analyze forest fragmentation and its impact on biodiversity in SSA,

Automated Tuberculosis Detection in Chest Radiographs: A Hybrid Deep Learning Framework for Clinical Decision Support

Applied AI Letters, Volume 7, Issue 2, June 2026.
A hybrid deep learning framework integrating VGG16, ResNet50, and DenseNet121 is proposed for automated tuberculosis detection from chest X‐ray images. Feature‐level fusion enhances robustness and generalization, achieving 97.4% accuracy across multiple public datasets, supporting reliable clinical decision‐making in resource‐limited healthcare ...

Why we age

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 911-925, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Three categories of explanations exist for why we age: mechanistic theories, which omit reference to evolutionary forces; weakening force of selection theories, which posit that barriers exist that prevent evolutionary forces from optimising fitness in ageing; and optimisation theories, which posit that evolutionary forces actually select for ...

The impact of urbanisation on social behaviour: a comprehensive review

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 1003-1035, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Urbanisation is a key driver of global environmental change and presents animals with novel stressors and challenges. It can fundamentally influence social behaviour and has the potential to reshape within‐ and between‐species social interactions. Given the role of social behaviour in reproductive fitness and survival, understanding how social

Bandwagon effects in a floral market: Early pollinator acquisition offsets colour disadvantages in less attractive flowers

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 1088-1099, April 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Flowers with striking colours or scents are often considered to have an advantage in the competition for pollinators. However, if pollinators copy others to avoid exploration costs in changing environments, less attractive flowers may benefit from acquiring early ...

In vitro culture, cryopreservation, and field reintroduction of the endangered Mingan thistle

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Current plant conservation efforts are hindered by, for example, poor seed germination, low viability, and insufficient propagation and preservation technologies. To address these problems, we devised an approach to plant conservation that integrates conservation, preservation, and restoration (CPR), which uses advanced in vitro techniques. We

Chrysoperla externa (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) as a Potential Biological Control Agent of Raoiella indica (Acari: Tenuipalpidae)

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 4, Page 335-342, April 2026.
First and third instar Chrysoperla externa showed efficient predatory capacity at low R. indica density, but second instar C. externa exhibits a density‐dependent predatory ability. The lacewing C. externa shows promise as a biocontrol agent for R. indica in coconut because it consumed 8362 R. indica females across all its larval instars.
