Fish Scales: A Multifunctional Biomaterial from Nature

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 9, Issue 5, September 2026.
Fish scales demonstrate nature's solution to impact protection through overlapping multilayered architecture. This biological design combines mineralized surfaces with collagen networks to achieve both flexibility and fracture resistance. The structural principles inspire advanced protective materials and biomedical implants, where damage tolerance ...

Effect of age class on the survivorship and spatial movement patterns of headstarted Texas horned lizards soft‐released into an urban population

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 7, September 2026.
When compared to resident lizards of the corresponding age class, juvenile headstarted Texas horned lizards soft‐released into an urban population exhibited more favorable responses to short‐term translocation objectives (i.e., daily movement rates, home range sizes, and survival rates) than did conspecifics headstarted to the adult age class ...

Effects of oiling common raven nests on ravens and greater sage‐grouse in sagebrush ecosystems

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 7, September 2026.
We oiled and sham‐oiled raven nests across 7 sites in the Great Basin to measure the effects of egg‐oiling on co‐occurring populations of ravens and sage‐grouse. Oiling raven eggs ended embryonic development of oiled eggs, reduced raven densities, resulted in more than a doubling of nest‐survival probabilities of sage‐grouse nests, and spurred ...

Rapid phosphorus removal promotes a sustained decrease in nitrogen in eutrophic lakes

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2026.
Abstract Excess phosphorus (P) leads to lake eutrophication, prompting interventions to reduce P availability. However, we have a limited understanding of how P availability impacts nitrogen (N), which also affects lake water quality. The in‐lake application of alum rapidly decreases P availability, presenting an opportunity to explore how P influences
