Hidden Losses: Assessing the Risk of Coextinction Among Ectoparasitic Flies and Their Bat Host Species in Brazil

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
The potential impact of bat species extinction on the number of their ectoparasitic fly species, based on interaction data for Brazil. As bat host species are removed over time, more connected species (green) would experience steeper declines and lead to greater ectoparasite losses when compared to a random extinction model (gray).

Which One Tastes Better? Testing Distinct Baits to Evaluate Fruit‐Feeding Butterfly Assemblages (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) in a Subtropical Region

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 4, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Standardised sampling protocols are essential for improving biodiversity assessments, particularly for indicator groups such as fruit‐feeding butterflies. Although fermented banana is the most widely used bait in tropical regions, rotten fish is the best bait for catching fruit‐feeding butterflies in high‐altitude sites.

Exploring the exploration: implications of leaving or remaining at the natal site during the early stages of independence in a partially migratory bird

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 4, Page 1210-1229, October 2026.
Despite being an important fraction of any animal population, juveniles are a severely understudied group. Juveniles often need to learn an array of skills that allow them to survive independently and do so while undertaking decisions that may impact their fitness, recruitment and survival, having therefore relevant demographic implications.

Event‐Level Attribution of Wildfire Ignition Cause: A Machine‐Learning Approach

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Wildfire ignition causes, namely human or lightning, largely determine fire behavior and impacts, but are sparsely reported worldwide. Event‐level fire causes have been inferred regionally using high‐accuracy lightning observations, but global generalization remains limited.

Island Invader: Rugulopteryx okamurae and the Challenge for Macaronesian Coasts

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Since 2015, Rugulopteryx okamurae, a brown seaweed native to the Northwest Pacific, has become one of the most conspicuous marine invaders in the European continental coastal waters. Its recent establishment in the Macaronesian archipelagos (the Azores, Madeira and Canary Islands) has produced significant ecological changes, including ...
