Divine Self‐Placement, Sacred Placemaking: The Virgin of El Rocío and Territorial Custodianship in Early Modern Spain

Journal of Religious History, EarlyView.
This essay argues that the Rocío hallazgo legend employs divine self‐placement to turn territorial uncertainty into sacred stewardship. The Virgin's miraculous refusal to move establishes the marshlands of Las Rocinas as a communal religious site, transforming a marginal and legally ambiguous area.

Wood Thrush (Hylocichla mustelina) occupancy patterns reveal sensitivity to low precipitation on nonbreeding grounds in northern Costa Rica

Ibis, EarlyView.
Climatic change and anthropogenic disturbances are reshaping animal populations. Habitat loss and extreme climatic events are particularly strong drivers of declines in species that depend on forested areas. For migratory songbirds, climate and the persistence of suitable habitat over time are fundamental to sustaining populations annually.

When is the bait worth the risk? A mechanistic model of a compensatory ecological trap in seabirds

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 11, Page 3398-3421, November 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecological traps occur when organisms preferentially select habitats that reduce fitness. In seabird–fishery systems, fishery‐derived trophic subsidies can increase foraging success, reinforce habitat preference and indirectly enhance reproductive output or recruitment,

Urbanization and food transition in the Brazilian Amazon: From wild to domesticated meat

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 10, Page 3236-3249, October 2026.
Abstract Urbanization is expected to influence food transitions, resulting in a shift from wild foods to more domesticated foods. Concomitantly, food insecurity and urban demand for natural resources, including wildlife, are expected to increase overall, even when the per capita consumption is expected to decrease.

Assessment of (un)sustainability of EU harvest of migratory birds in non‐secure conservation status: Bridging science and policy

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 10, October 2026.
Our results allow the identification of the species/populations most likely to be overharvested in the EU, requiring management considerations to ensure compliance with the Birds Directive. Our approach allows us to separate science from policy considerations, facilitating stakeholder discussion and agreement on which species should be prioritized for ...

Prevalence of traded bird species in key biodiversity areas

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract The use and trade of biodiversity involve tens of thousands of species that are exploited at a range of scales, intensities, and degrees of sustainability. As a result, some are highly threatened. Key biodiversity areas (KBAs) are sites of significance for the persistence of biodiversity identified nationally based on standardized criteria ...
