Population Status, Ecology and Conservation Challenges of Cattle Egrets (Bubulcus ibis), Especially in the Southern Africa Subregion: A Systematic Review and Evidence Synthesis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
The Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis) occupies a wide range of natural and human‐modified habitats, yet research effort across its range is highly uneven. Our systematic review of 173 studies synthesises patterns in population trends, habitat use, breeding ecology, threats and ecosystem services, revealing strong geographic and thematic biases in available ...

Invasive mammals disrupt sea–land nutrient inputs over 169 years on subtropical oceanic islands

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Invasive mammals have severely impacted oceanic islands, reducing or extirpating seabird populations and driving the collapse of nutrient flows with lasting ecosystem effects. We investigated these dynamics on contrasting subtropical oceanic islands in the South Pacific: Rangitāhua, a large island where goats, cats, and rats caused the ...

Taxonomic Revision of Corsia (Corsiaceae) Reveals Over‐Estimated Mycoheterotroph Diversity in Papuasia: 25 Species Become 10

Feddes Repertorium, Volume 137, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Corsia (Corsiaceae) is a remarkable genus of achlorophyllous, fully mycoheterotrophic plants distributed across New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and Northern Australia. The genus has often been considered an example of adaptive radiation amongst mycoheterotrophic plants, with 25 narrowly endemic species, most known from just one or two ...

Radio Frequency Heating‐Induced Multilevel Injury of Plodia Interpunctella in Goji Berries and Concomitant Quality Variations of Goji Berries

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 5, September 2026.
RF heating reaches 52°C in 14 min (vs. 196 min for HA) and with 1.5 min holding achieves 100% larval mortality, inducing multilevel injury—cuticular damage, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and DNA fragmentation—while better preserving color, texture, and bioactive components than HA.

Trait Plasticity in Herbivore Populations Maintains Geographic Patterns of Herbivory on a Dominant Plant Species Under Warming

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
Warm and Cool origin grasshopper populations responded to experimental warming with different blends of behavioral and physiological plasticity. These responses enabled Warm and Cool Origin grasshoppers to maintain similar estimated field metabolic rates and exert similar, location‐specific herbivory on the plant community across experimental warming ...
