Nest‐box supplementation can amplify intraspecific exploitation: RFID reveals frequent nest switching and lower fledging success in barn owls

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
High breeding density in nest box‐based biological control programs can unintentionally increase intraspecific exploitation, reducing fledging success even when apparent reproductive output remains high. Management evaluations should move beyond occupancy and fledgling counts to include individual‐level performance metrics, such as fledging success ...

Reducing Humanitarian Migrants' Welfare Dependency through Language Support: Evidence from Australia's Adult Migrant English Program

Economic Record, Volume 102, Issue S1, Page 102-132, July 2026.
Humanitarian migrants are among the most vulnerable migrant groups, often facing significant integration challenges, particularly language barriers. In response, many developed countries have introduced language programs to support their settlement. This study uses an event study (staggered difference‐in‐differences) approach and data from Australia's ...

The Evolution of Knockdown Resistance: Genotypic and Phenotypic Insights Into Aedes aegypti Insecticide Resistance

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Insecticide resistance is a significant challenge for mosquito population control and disease prevention. This research investigated knockdown resistance (kdr) mutations V410L, V1016I, and F1534C in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes to address crucial gaps in understanding insecticide resistance evolution and management.

Temple, Body, and Space: Approaching Temple‐Car Cultures in South Asia

Religion Compass, Volume 20, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT In religious festivals celebrated at many sites across South Asia, colossal wooden vehicles known as “temple‐cars” convey images of deities and saints in a rapturous procession. Temple‐cars have garnered a disciplinarily fragmented body of scholarship that has treated them primarily as mobile temples by privileging their superstructures over ...

Seasonal Dynamics of the Gut Microbiome in Urban Feral Pigeons Are Associated With Environmental Conditions, Not With Diet Shifts

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Using feral pigeons in urban environments, we show that microbiome diversity and composition vary seasonally despite stable diet composition. ABSTRACT Gut microbiomes play a crucial role in host physiology and seasonal adaptation. While seasonal shifts in avian gut microbiota are often attributed to seasonal diet variation, environmental factors may be
