Using miniaturized laboratory equipment and DNA barcoding to improve conservation genetics training and identify illegally traded species. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Illegal wildlife trade (IWT) is one of the largest global illegal activities, and it negatively affects biodiversity and sustainable development worldwide. DNA barcoding coupled with high‐throughput sequencing (i.e., metabarcoding) is useful in identifying taxa affected by IWT and has been used routinely for decades.

Biochar‐Induced Shifts in Fungal Community Structure and Their Association With Soil Physical Properties in Degraded Soil From the Brazilian Semiarid

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil degradation compromises ecosystem functioning. Biochar, a carbon‐rich amendment, has gained attention as a promising strategy to enhance soil structure and restore microbial balance. This study investigated the effects of two biochars, cashew bagasse biochar (CBB) and a co‐pyrolyzed biochar produced from sewage sludge and cashew pruning ...

National Policy Coherence Counts for Reducing Inequality in Global Climate and Development Agendas

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT International institutions promote policy coherence as crucial to the effective and fair implementation of global sustainability agendas, though the evidence for its benefits is slim. We present here the first systematic cross‐country dataset on the consequences of national government efforts to promote policy coherence for vulnerable groups ...

Individual and combined effects of shading and habitat complexity on benthic macroinvertebrate communities in a mesocosm stream experiment (São Paulo, Brazil)

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Agricultural activities are a major driver of biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation in subtropical streams, often altering macroinvertebrate community structure and associated ecosystem functions. Although restoration strategies increasingly target these impacts, the relative importance of riparian shading and in‐stream ...

Phytoremediation of Wastewater From Oil Well Drilling: Potential of Different Plant Species

Water Environment Research, Volume 98, Issue 5, May 2026.
Purple fountain grass (Cenchrus setaceus “Rubrum”) is a promising plant for using in constructed wetlands treating complex oil drilling effluents. ABSTRACT This study evaluated the removal of contaminants present in wastewater from oil well drilling in the presence of three plant species: water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), cattail (Typha ...

Issue Attention in Public Opinion Polls: Pollsters as Agenda Responders and Agenda Setters

Policy Studies Journal, Volume 54, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Polling organizations, like other policy actors, must prioritize certain issues. We argue that, for normative and financial reasons, pollsters prioritize issues that are viewed as important by other institutions and the public, leading them to focus survey questions on issues that are on congressional and media agendas, and which are public ...

NEW LIGHTWEIGHT GYPSUM COMPOSITES FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF LSF WALLS: A STUDY OF THERMAL BEHAVIOR

ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 1, Page 125-134, April 2026.
Abstract This study analyses the thermal behaviour of a new lightweight gypsum material, developed in line with the principles of the circular economy, which has reduced the thermal conductivity of these compounds by up to 30.4%. Similarly, the contribution of these compounds to the energy efficiency of LSF walls with steel structures in different ...

Cuba's Three Autocratic Transitions: From Revolutionary Regime to (Post)Totalitarianism and New Authoritarianism?

Bulletin of Latin American Research, Volume 45, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Cuba is the oldest and most consolidated autocracy in the Americas. Its Revolution in 1959, the charisma of Fidel Castro, the single‐party system and the US embargo have made the island an exceptional case. However, recent developments such as popular protests, limited reforms, emigration or socio‐economic decline are bringing about some ...
