Assessing radio transmitter weight effect and evaluation of northern bobwhite chick survival in coastal North Carolina

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Studies on the earliest life stages are essential to our ecological understanding of avian demography; however, monitoring technologies that allow tracking of small birds are still limited in a variety of ways. One critical limitation, until recently, has been the development of methods for attaching transmitters to young birds with precocial ...

Dwelling in a post‐fallout landscape: re‐shaping and sustaining life in a former evacuation zone in Fukushima Habiter après la catastrophe : redonner forme au monde et entretenir la vie dans une ancienne zone évacuée à Fukushima

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 32, Issue 2, Page 434-455, June 2026.
This article explores the activities of daily life in a village neighbouring the TEPCO nuclear power plant in Fukushima. It argues that one of the potentials of taking a dwelling perspective – a phenomenological approach to living within the ecological and social environments – emerges most compellingly within a polluted landscape.

Bovine papillomavirus type 2 detection in the urinary bladder of cattle with chronic enzootic haematuria

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2006
The bovine papillomavirus type 2 (BPV-2) involvement in the aetiology of chronic enzootic haematuria associated to bracken fern ingestion has been suggested for a long time.

Evaluating the accuracy of the EcoservR toolkit for fine‐resolution habitat mapping

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.
Accurate habitat maps are essential for monitoring ecological change and supporting nature recovery planning. We evaluate the EcoservR rule‐based habitat mapping toolkit using field survey data from Merseyside and the North York Moors, validating classifications across the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) Phase 1 hierarchy.

Differences in bird and bat traits, seed-dispersal interactions and functions between tropical montane forest and bracken-dominated areas

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Most tropical plant species depend on animals to disperse their seeds. Seed dispersal by animals allows plants to colonize new sites in deforested habitats helping to accelerate forest recovery.

Forest Disturbance Drives Changes in the Functional Traits of Soil Bacteria: A Metagenomic Study of Kauri (Agathis australis) Forest Ecosystems

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study reveals how ecological disturbances reshape the structure and function of soil bacterial communities in kauri forests, which are critical for ecosystem resilience. By linking disturbance regimes to shifts in bacterial diversity and functional capacity, it highlights the wider effects of ecosystem disturbance on soil ecological function ...

Toxicities of bracken fern in guinea pigs.

The Japanese Journal of Veterinary Science, 1983
Toxicities of bracken fern were studied for feeding periods of 5-1O days (experiment A), 20-80 days (experiment B) and 11-15 months (experiment C) in 149 albino female and male guinea pigs weighing approximately 200g. Guinea pigs were fed ad lib. the bracken diet containing 30% (Wt./Wt.) dry powdered young fronds, 0.012% thiamine and 0.01% ascorbic ...

Holocene sea‐level and environmental changes on the Isle of Mull, Scotland

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 3, Page 400-418, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Sea‐level and coastal changes are reconstructed on the Isle of Mull, western Scotland, from 10 988 to 10 507 cal BP to the present. This research has produced the first SLIP for the Isle of Mull. A multiproxy approach including pollen, spore, foraminifera and diatom analyses reveals palaeoenvironmental changes from two coastal sites.

Evaluation of urine dipstick and cystoscopy in bovine enzootic haematuria

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2014
Enzootic bovine haematuria is mainly caused by the chronic ingestion of bracken fern and is still considered an important cause of economic losses in beef herds, particularly in large metropolitan areas of Brazil that are not suitable for agriculture ...

Post‐fire vegetation shifts: Role of invasives and seedbanks in an Australian grassy woodland ecosystem

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 4, April 2026.
Wildfire and invasive species interact in a south‐eastern Australian grassy woodland, with the soil seedbank introducing predominantly non‐native species into the extant vegetation after fire. This influx can temporarily increase ecosystem flammability and promote a grass–fire cycle.
