Regulatory compliance and support for altered management of the exotic pet trade

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Globally, the exotic pet trade has contributed to species invasion, disease, and animal welfare risks. Although scientists have advocated for increased trade regulation, the success of management and regulatory efforts depends on compliance by participants in the exotic pet trade. We used a regulatory compliance framework to investigate exotic

When tradition burns: Misinterpreting prescribed fire across the science–society gap in Iberia

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.
Prescribed fire is a scientifically grounded management tool whose benefits depend on specific ecological and operational conditions. This Perspective examines how these benefits may be reinterpreted beyond their original context and proposes a framework to improve the translation of ecological knowledge into environmental decision‐making.

Quaternary Ice Ages Shaped Protists Phylogeography: The Case of Arcellinida in the Iberian Peninsula

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 14, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The Quaternary glaciations profoundly shaped the biogeography of plants and animals, yet their impact on microbial eukaryotes remains largely unexplored. We tested the “genetic legacy of the Quaternary” (GLQ) paradigm in terrestrial protists using Arcellinida testate amoebae diversity distribution across the Iberian Peninsula, a well ...

Epistemic opacity in Antarctic science: Unknowing the last frontier

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1641-1647, June 2026.
Abstract Antarctica is facing intensifying pressures from climate change, industrial fishing, tourism and renewed geopolitical competition, even as scientific activity on the continent reaches unprecedented levels. We argue that this proliferation of research often fails to deliver the integrated, policy‐relevant knowledge needed for precautionary ...

When invasions go unnoticed: Public perception of the freshwater jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbii in Europe

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1957-1973, June 2026.
Abstract Biological invasions are a major driver of biodiversity loss, yet inconspicuous or “cryptic” species often escape detection and public awareness, limiting management responses. We investigated the freshwater jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbii, likely native to China and now present on six continents, through a 22‐month multilingual online survey

Individual Uncertainty and Policy Compliance During the COVID‐19 Pandemic

open access: yesRisk, Hazards &Crisis in Public Policy, Volume 17, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Ample scholarship examines the extent to which public policies in representative democracies reflect the priorities and needs of the public, often finding that individuals are unaware of many policy issues and policy responses. This may be especially true when issues of risk and scientific uncertainty are involved, which can be difficult for ...

Calibration of the species threat abatement and restoration metric's threat abatement component in a Costa Rican landscape

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Achieving global conservation policy goals requires the ability to set and measure progress toward science‐based targets for biodiversity. The species threat abatement and restoration (STAR) metric was developed to enable actors to set science‐based targets for species.
