Familiarity and aggression shape long‐term associations and mortality risk in a solitary ungulate

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Periodic social interactions are important to animal fitness, even in solitary species. For solitary species, these interactions can be unexpected and shaped by previous encounters. Despite being aggressive and largely solitary, black rhinoceroses Diceros bicornis are commonly seen in groups, suggesting they may engage in more social behaviours than ...

Classification of the Burrower Bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Cydnidae): A Never-Ending Story?

Insects
This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the historical development of research on the classification of the family Cydnidae. This study reviews the various approaches to characterizing the family’s internal structure, providing insights into the methodologies used in studying its taxonomy.

Dress for success: climate pressures predict fur insulation and body size in natural and reintroduced populations of a threatened marsupial

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Phenotypic variation in functional traits underpins responses to environmental gradients, influencing thermoregulation, energy balance, and long‐term persistence under climate extremes. Climate change is altering these gradients globally, yet in species that have already disappeared from much of their range, adaptive phenotypes may have also been lost,

Overview of Aerosols in the E3SM Version 3: New Model Features and Their Impacts

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Accurate and comprehensive representation of aerosols in Earth system models (ESMs) is critical for modeling radiative forcing and seasonal‐to‐decadal variability. With increasing computing power, detailed physical and chemical processes representing aerosols and their interactions with other components of the Earth system can be treated more ...

Maternal glucocorticoids have persistent effects on offspring social phenotype irrespective of opportunity for social buffering

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1326-1338, August 2026.
This study tests whether early‐life maternal association buffers offspring from the effects of prenatal stress in a facultatively social lizard. Despite clear effects of maternal glucocorticoids on growth and social behaviour, social associations did not mitigate these effects, revealing limits to social buffering in this species.

Ocean acidification, more than warming or heatwaves, constrains shoaling behaviour in a range‐extending fish through habitat simplification

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1386-1400, August 2026.
We show that ocean acidification, more than warming or marine heatwaves, alters shoaling behaviour indirectly by simplifying reef habitat and reducing population densities and shoal sizes. Because fish behaviour can be strongly mediated by shoal size, climate‐driven habitat change may reshape social dynamics that influence how range‐extending fishes ...

Evading the blues: Nocturnally active adult Leach's Storm‐Petrels show evidence of avoiding LED lights with shorter wavelengths

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Nocturnal seabirds, particularly Procellariiforms, are vulnerable to being negatively impacted by artificial lights as they are prone to encounter various forms of light pollution in coastal and pelagic habitats, leading to strandings or other changes to their normal behavior.

Landscape Context and Environmental Stochasticity Shape Genetic Management Outcomes in an Amphibian

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Landscape context can influence demographic rates and, consequently, the population genetic processes determining levels of genetic diversity. However, the role of landscape context is not always sufficiently considered in conservation management.
