Navigating Practical, Political, and Ethical Challenges of Long‐Term Human Biology Field Research: The Shuar Health and Life History Project

American Journal of Human Biology, Volume 38, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Major advances in understanding human biology and health have been made possible by long‐term field research projects with Indigenous peoples, whose ecological settings and lifeways are distinct from majority populations in high‐income settings.

Landscape and local factors influence solitary bee nesting, but reported effects show little consistency across studies

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.
Collectively, these findings indicate that agri‐environment schemes aiming to support solitary bees should integrate the provision of nesting resources with proximity to floral resources. The heterogeneity among studies highlights the need for solitary bee conservation measures to be tailored to local conditions and to the local fauna.

Estimating the Impact of Socioeconomic Drivers on Land Degradation in Italy via Spatio‐Temporal Additive Expectile Regression

Environmetrics, Volume 37, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate changes, soil degradation, and desertification increasingly threaten the entire territory of Italy due to the complex interplay between natural processes and anthropogenic forces. Motivated by this pressing issue, this paper investigates how land‐use and socioeconomic drivers have shaped desertification dynamics across Italian ...

Urban biodiversity by design: A multi-taxa, causal evaluation of targeted habitat interventions and ecological ecosystem across major Chinese cities

Ecological Indicators
Rapid urbanization in China fragments habitats and simplifies green space structure, but cities are increasingly piloting compact “ecological micro-interventions” whose cross-taxa benefits remain weakly quantified.

Machine Translation and Communication Accommodation in Hotel–Guest Interactions

International Journal of Tourism Research, Volume 28, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Despite advancements in artificial intelligence, machine translation's impact on tourism remains underexplored. Leveraging Communication Accommodation Theory, we investigated the following research questions from the hotel's perspective: (a) How is machine translation used in service encounters in high‐end hotels in Lisbon and Barcelona?

The effects of flower supplementation on pollinators and pollination along an urbanisation gradient

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 654-668, March 2026.
Enhancing urban greenspaces for pollinator communities by planting flower patches is increasingly common, but their efficacy for different groups of insects (bees, hoverflies and moths) is unclear. Our city‐scale experiment demonstrated that the effect of flower patches on pollinators is complex, and direct benefits to specific insects are difficult to

Making Learning Personally Relevant: Sensemaking Assets Used in Families' Discussions While Using a Pollinator‐Focused Mobile Augmented Reality App

Science Education, Volume 110, Issue 2, Page 525-542, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This study seeks to better understand the unique sensemaking assets that rural families weave into their outdoor learning experience while using a location‐based mobile app focused on healthy habitats for solitary bees. The project included mobile augmented reality (AR) technologies, which are increasingly used as educational tools at informal
