Constructed value of information with iterative scoring and parametric uncertainty to identify management‐relevant research priorities for a declining raptor species

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Constructed value of information (CVoI) is an expert elicitation decision‐analytic tool used to prioritize sources of uncertainty based on their potential to improve decision outcomes if resolved. Despite increased application of CVoI, the robustness of CVoI prioritization of sources of uncertainty relative to differences in expert elicitation

Geographic risks to functional groups of mammals and birds from habitat loss in Mexico

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract There is a need to quantify the impact of habitat loss due to anthropogenic factors on different aspects of biodiversity, such as functional trait diversity represented by functional groups (FGs). We developed a metric to assess the weighted risk of loss of habitat for 33 FGs of mammals and 36 FGs of birds in Mexico based on potential ...

Calibration of the species threat abatement and restoration metric's threat abatement component in a Costa Rican landscape

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Achieving global conservation policy goals requires the ability to set and measure progress toward science‐based targets for biodiversity. The species threat abatement and restoration (STAR) metric was developed to enable actors to set science‐based targets for species.

PARAMETRIC STUDY OF THE INFLUENCE OF WIND ON THE DESIGN OF STEEL TUBULAR TOWERS WITH DIFFERENT GEOMETRIES ACCORDING TO THE EUROCODES

open access: yesce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 1, Page 374-383, April 2026.
Abstract The geometries of metallic tubular towers directly influence the interaction between wind action and the structural response of the tower itself. Analyzing these configurations and understanding how this interaction occurs is fundamental for proper structural design.

Multi‐Occupancy in CO2 Clathrate Hydrates: A Quantum Chemistry Study From Finite‐Size Cages to Crystals

open access: yesSmall Structures, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.
How many CO2 molecules can a single clathrate‐like cage truly confine? This quantum‐chemistry study reveals multi‐occupancy and lattice‐driven stabilization effects. From isolated cages to full crystals, it uncovers how dispersion forces govern storage capacity, exposing sII hydrates as standout candidates for high‐density CO2 capture.

estar: An R package to measure ecological stability

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 1090-1100, April 2026.
Abstract Assessing ecological stability is a key task in biodiversity monitoring and conservation. Quantifying stability is not trivial because its different aspects can be measured with various properties. However, to date, no software enables measuring different stability properties on ecological time‐series data.

Ungulate prey availability to inform Mexican wolf recovery within its historical range

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 2, February 2026.
We estimated the potential ecological carrying capacity for the Mexican wolf based exclusively on ungulate prey biomass estimated from camera trap surveys. In the United States, the potential density estimate is high (21.4–52.7 wolves/1,000 km2) owing to the presence and relatively high densities of elk, mule deer, and white‐tailed deer.

Comparison of ultrasound with computed tomography and whole‐body diffusion‐weighted MRI in prediction of surgical outcome using ESMO‐ESGO criteria in patients with tubo‐ovarian carcinoma: prospective ISAAC study

open access: yesUltrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, Volume 67, Issue 2, Page 207-219, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective To test the non‐inferiority of extended abdominopelvic ultrasound examination compared with contrast‐enhanced computed tomography (CT) and whole‐body diffusion‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging (WB‐DWI/MRI) in discriminating preoperatively between resectable and non‐resectable disease based on the European Society for Medical ...

Risk of pre‐eclampsia according to gestational age across three decades: population‐based study

open access: yesUltrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, Volume 67, Issue 2, Page 155-161, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives To determine the risk of pre‐eclampsia in ongoing pregnancies according to gestational age. We also studied whether the gestational‐age‐specific risks of developing pre‐eclampsia have changed over recent decades. Methods This was a population‐based study using data from the Medical Birth Registry of Norway.

The Role of the European Union in Managing African Crises Between Development Aid and Geopolitical Interests

open access: yesWorld Affairs, Volume 189, Issue 1, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT This study conducts a comprehensive and critical examination of the interplay between development assistance and strategic geopolitical objectives in the European Union's (EU) engagement with African crises. Although the EU positions itself as a normative power committed to advancing peace, development, and human rights, its practices often ...
