Mosquito population dynamics are shaped by interactions among larval density, temperature, and relative humidity

open access: yesEcology, Volume 107, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Understanding how variation in key abiotic and biotic factors interact at ecologically relevant spatial scales is crucial for predicting population dynamics, distributions, and abundances. This is especially true for vectors that transmit human pathogens.

Feathers and flu: identifying data gaps in avian influenza host dynamics to prioritize wildlife conservation Plumas y gripe: identificación de datos faltantes en la dinámica de hospedadores de la influenza aviar para priorizar la conservación de la vida silvestre

open access: yesWildlife Monographs, Volume 225, Issue 1, September 2026.
We describe the host response continuum for highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIV), including the continuum of host responses to HPAIV infection and exposure based on the primary axis of host competence, ability to infect other hosts, and host vulnerability.

Ecology of declining populations of gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) in Indiana, USA Ecología de las poblaciones en declive de zorros grises (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) en Indiana, EE.UU.

open access: yesWildlife Monographs, Volume 226, Issue 1, September 2026.
We estimated seasonal space use, cover selection, and resource selection; evaluated gene flow and potential genetic barriers; and assessed cause‐specific survival rates and reproduction of radiomarked gray foxes in Indiana, USA. Our results provide evidence that gray foxes in Indiana are an edge species with relatively large home ranges, relatively low

Participatory Mapping of Karajarri Sea Country Knowledge to Guide IPA Zoning and Ranger Management

open access: yesEcological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The expansion of Indigenous Protected Areas (IPAs) into coastal and marine environments requires spatial planning approaches that support Traditional Owner aspirations for Sea Country management while respecting Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP).

Molecular Insights and Repellent Efficacy of the Essential Oil and Major Compounds From Piper cyrtopodon (Miq.) C.DC (Piperaceae) Against Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus, 1762) (Culicidae)

open access: yesArchiv der Pharmazie, Volume 359, Issue 6, June 2026.
The essential oil and major compounds from Piper cyrtopodon exhibit potent, long‐lasting repellent activity against Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, combined with low cytotoxicity and favorable molecular docking interactions with odorant‐binding proteins. These findings highlight its potential for the development of alternative products for bite prevention ...

Joint Angular Excursions and Angular Range Utilization During Stance‐Phase Locomotion in Terrestrial Mammals: A Comparative Morphofunctional Data Set

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 4, Page 361-376, May 2026.
This study quantifies stance‐phase joint angular excursions and angular utilization (AUI%) during walking in 182 terrestrial mammal species. Across mammals, total limb excursion during stance (TAE) decreases with increasing body mass, whereas AUI% remains broadly conserved, indicating similar proportional use of summed joint excursions to generate net ...

Panama Canal expansion and shifts in fishing practices: A social‐ecological network approach

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1520-1532, May 2026.
Abstract Species introductions have spiked over the past two centuries due to globalization. These introductions impact ecosystems, but may also have long‐term implications for human communities. In one of the world's hubs for global shipping, the Panama Canal, a recent canal expansion has coincided with an increase in marine fishes entering the ...

European mistletoe shares a similar demographic strategy with non‐parasitic plants

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.
European mistletoe (Viscum album) does not have a distinct demographic strategy from non‐parasitic plants, as quantified by time‐based life history traits. We found that mistletoe vital rates were driven by mistletoe size and position in the host tree.

Host Specificity and Activity Synchronization Drive Frog‐Biting Midge Incidence on Torrent Frogs (Hylodidae)

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
Frog‐biting midges were recorded exclusively on Hylodes asper (especially on males calling near streams and only during the day) and not on syntopic H. phyllodes, indicating host preference and activity synchronization. Micropredation on these visual‐signaling frogs is likely influenced by precipitation, especially under high maximum temperatures ...
