From species lists to interactions: Network structure, not richness, guides seed dispersal management in human‐modified islands

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Our findings show that management strategies can create fundamentally different seed dispersal regimes, even under similar environmental conditions. Anthropogenic diversification reshapes network organisation into distinct structural configurations, rather than consistently enhancing overall cohesion.

Ecological Insights and Management Implications of the Global Migratory Connectivity of Green Turtles

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Green turtles are a widely distributed and highly migratory species; despite extensive data on their movement, there is no species‐specific global synthesis on the subject. Based on three decades of published literature and building on previous global analyses, we developed a global network model of migratory connectivity for green turtles

Buddhism in Australia: A Maturing, Multidisciplinary Field of Inquiry

open access: yesReligion Compass, Volume 20, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT In 2012, Anna Halafoff, Ruth Fitzpatrick and Kim Lam applied Paul Numrich's framework to the study of Buddhism in so‐called Australia, to determine if it constituted a distinct field of study. They concluded that it was an emerging field, according to Numrich's three categories of specialisation, organisation and publication.

Zooarchaeological Analysis of an Atoll Assemblage From Central Micronesia

open access: yesArchaeology in Oceania, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 177-198, April 2026.
ABSTRACT There has been a dearth of archaeological research on atolls in the central‐eastern Caroline Islands of Micronesia. This has limited our understanding of pre‐contact subsistence and settlement strategies in these more marginal and remote environments, particularly in regards to zooarchaeological data.
