Examining the Role of Discrimination in Prenatal Care Utilization: A Systematic Review Using the Social‐Ecological Model

open access: yesResearch in Nursing &Health, Volume 49, Issue 1, Page 60-73, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Timely and adequate prenatal care (PNC) is essential for optimizing maternal and infant health outcomes. However, persistent disparities in PNC utilization exist in the United States, particularly among ethnic/racial minority populations.

The influence of multiple stressors on the spatial distribution of corals

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 342-358, February 2026.
Abstract Coral reef ecosystems are widely threatened by global change, yet the cumulative impacts of multiple interacting stressors remain difficult to quantify over space and time. We evaluate how long‐term artisanal fishing effort, blast fishing, human population density and marine protected areas (MPAs) interact with biophysical and seascape ...

Properties and Limitations of eDNA Substrates for Terrestrial Animal Monitoring

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) constitutes a valuable tool for monitoring terrestrial animal diversity, but outcomes are affected by multiple factors. Among these factors, the choice of sampling substrate and method is especially important and must be aligned with research objectives.

Reviewing seas of data: Integrating image‐based bio‐logging and artificial intelligence to enhance marine conservation

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 272-290, February 2026.
Abstract Conservation of marine ecosystems can be improved through a better understanding of ecosystem functioning, particularly the cryptic underwater behaviours and interactions of marine predators. Image‐based bio‐logging devices (including images, videos and active acoustic) are increasingly used to monitor wildlife movements, foraging behaviours ...

Location–scale models in ecology and evolution: Heteroscedasticity in continuous, count and proportion data

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 554-566, February 2026.
Abstract Biological data often violate the assumption of constant variance, yet such heteroscedasticity can reflect meaningful biological processes such as plasticity, canalization or stress responses. Despite this, most models treat variance as statistical noise. Here, we reintroduce location–scale regression as a general framework that jointly models

Understanding the role of cessation fatigue in smoking relapse: Findings from the International Tobacco Control Four Country Smoking and Vaping Survey

open access: yesAddiction, Volume 121, Issue 2, Page 340-348, February 2026.
Abstract Background and Aim Relapse risk among people who formerly smoke is influenced by task difficulty. Cessation fatigue (CF) may be a better predictor than measures such as reported strength of urges to smoke (SUTS) and abstinence self‐efficacy (ASE). It may also be affected by quit length and use of other nicotine products.

Unravelling echinoid mass mortalities: a global overview of mechanisms, spatio‐temporal trends, and taxonomic insights

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 221-236, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Mass mortality events (MMEs) have been occurring since the dawn of time. However, in contrast to terrestrial events, most marine MMEs remain undetected, largely due to the inaccessibility of many marine environments. One of the most notorious and best‐studied marine MMEs in modern times is that of the population collapse of the echinoid ...

Facilitative interspecific interactions in marine vertebrates across scales: from individuals to ecosystems

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 519-538, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Facilitative interspecific interactions (FIIs) confer benefits to at least one participant without detriment to others. Although often less emphasised than antagonistic interactions in ecological studies, this review highlights the significant ecological role of FIIs across biological scales – from individual behaviours to population ...
