Low detectability of alien reptiles can lead to biosecurity management failure: a case study from Christmas Island (Australia) [PDF]

NeoBiota, 2019
When we assume that contemporary management actions will be effective against the global rise of emerging alien species, we can develop management complacency, which leads to potentially disastrous outcomes for native biodiversity.

Pills in the Post: Analysis of Australia‐Based Requests to the Online Abortion Service Women on Web

Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Medication abortion has transformed accessibility of abortion services. Telemedicine models—including asynchronous services where a clinician reviews a person's information without a live consultation—enable access to abortion care outside in‐person health settings.

A Journey Between Science and the Arts: Templates for the Depiction of the Pineapple (Sixteenth to Eighteenth Centuries)

Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Native to America, the pineapple—Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.—delighted the Europeans who came across it. The fruit was mentioned by the voyagers and missionaries who observed and tasted it in the Americas and, from the 1500s onwards, infused reports, chronicles and natural history treatises with colour and flavour.

Brokering Pacific labour mobility: Relation, constraint and aspiration at the interstices of supply chain capitalism

The Australian Journal of Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract Since 2008, temporary labour migration schemes have brought growing numbers of Pacific Islanders to work on Australian farms. The space between these workers and the farmers for whom they labour is organised through a complex ecology of brokerage relations, entailing diverse actors, processes and institutions.

Present and Future Distribution of Apochloa molinioides and Trichanthecium wettsteinii in the Brazilian Campos Rupestres: Ecological Modeling for Climate‐Smart Conservation

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT High‐elevation ecosystems are among the most sensitive to climate change, responding more rapidly than low‐elevation environments. However, few studies have shown the effects of climate change on grass species in these environments. Among them, Apochloa molinioides and Trichanthecium wettsteinii (Poaceae) are notable for occurring in high ...

Factors influencing growth of giant terrestrial robber crab Birgus latro (Anomura: Coenobitidae) on Christmas Island

Aquatic Biology, 2013
Birgus latro has significant conservation and socio-economic importance throughout its range, yet very little is known about its growth in its natural habitat.

Climate Vulnerability of Australian Seafood Systems: A National Assessment of Exposure and Adaptive Capacity

Fisheries Oceanography, Volume 35, Issue 6, Page 849-864, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Marine waters are becoming warmer and acidified and experiencing more intense and longer heatwaves under climate change. These changes are already impacting marine ecosystems and seafood production, which are vital for supporting food security and economic productivity.

Paradoxical Exception to Island Tameness: Increased Defensiveness in an Insular Population of Rattlesnakes

Toxins
Island tameness results largely from a lack of natural predators. Because some insular rattlesnake populations lack functional rattles, presumably the consequence of relaxed selection from reduced predation, we hypothesized that the Santa Catalina Island,

Trade‐offs in avian parental care: a review of theory and meta‐analysis of brood size manipulations

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2337-2358, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The selective forces shaping parental care have been studied for over 50 years. While theoretical and experimental work has yielded qualitative progress, the large body of empirical work testing predictions about parental investment based on life‐history trade‐offs has yet to be synthesized.

Application of close‐kin mark–recapture to an American black bear population using harvest samples

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 7, October 2026.
Abstract Close‐kin mark–recapture (CKMR) offers a promising alternative to traditional mark–recapture methods for estimating wildlife population parameters. CKMR estimates demographic parameters by identifying genetic relationships between individuals, effectively “recapturing” parental genotypes through their offspring's genetic profiles.
