Marine Mammal Science, Volume 43, Issue 1, January 2027.ABSTRACT Understanding factors that limit the growth of endangered populations is crucial for conservation. Depleted populations are vulnerable to losses of genetic variation and inbreeding depression. Genetic factors have been cited as one of the potential contributors to the lack of recovery of the isolated St.

Hemp Cultivation and Crop Diversification: Implications for Ecosystem Services in Kentucky
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, Volume 48, Issue 5, Page 1367-1382, December 2026.ABSTRACT This study examines the ecosystem benefits of expanding hemp cultivation by assessing its impact on crop diversity. Using scenario‐based simulations and fixed‐effect panel regressions with county‐level data in Kentucky, we find that increased hemp acreage tends to enhance crop diversity, improving water quality and bird diversity.

Delaying the Inevitable? U.S. Screwworm Closures and Feeder Cattle Market Dynamics
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, Volume 48, Issue 5, Page 1530-1538, December 2026.ABSTRACT Biosecurity trade restrictions are commonly framed as preventive measures, yet in many settings they function primarily as policies of delay: they impose immediate market costs while only postponing the arrival of biological risks. This paper evaluates that intertemporal tradeoff using the 2024–2025 US suspension of live cattle imports from ...

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 6, Page 2839-2873, December 2026.ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.
