Modelling the combustion of mediterranean shrubs with FDS and WFDS: Sensitivity to fuel moisture content

open access: yesApplications in Energy and Combustion Science
Understanding how live vegetation burns is essential for predicting the behaviour of fires in WUI areas, where homes and vegetation coexist. Fuel moisture content plays a major role in determining ignition and fire spread.

New trajectories in the production of environmental knowledge about river restoration: contrasting scientific practices in Rhône River research

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Restoration ecology relies on interactions between scientists and managers, yet these interactions are shaped by broader academic, social, and political contexts that influence how scientific knowledge is produced and mobilized. Objective This article aims to examine how scientific knowledge is produced within a long‐term river ...

Colonisation History of Freshwater Snails Across the Atlantic and Mediterranean Islands: Insights From Mercuria (Littorinimorpha, Hydrobiidae)

open access: yesZoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Islands harbour unique biodiversity, and depending on their geological origin, they have fundamentally different colonisation histories: continental islands may contain relict faunas shaped by vicariance and sporadic gene flow, whereas oceanic islands must have been colonised across open seas, often through long‐distance dispersal events ...

Basic income trials and the politics of scale: A research agenda

open access: yesPolicy Studies Journal, Volume 54, Issue 3, August 2026.
Abstract The growing popularity of basic income has led to extensive trials of the policy in numerous settings across the world. However, analysis of the politics of basic income, and in particular the political dynamics preceding and resulting from trial programs, lags. In response, we propose a research agenda that uses political scale to investigate

Environmental correlates of spatio‐temporal patterns of colour variation in a bird of prey: The common buzzard (Buteo buteo)

open access: yesIbis, Volume 168, Issue 3, Page 985-1001, July 2026.
High colour variability in animals has been associated with adaptability to environmental change. Establishing how such variability is distributed in time and space, and identifying environmental correlates, can help understand the processes driving it.

The liverwort genus Metzgeria (Jungermanniopsida) in Europe – An integrative taxonomic update

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 75, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Species delimitation in liverworts, such as Metzgeria, is hampered by their limited morphology and hence morphologically determined specimens often turn out to belong to other taxa using molecular data. Metzgeria is a simple thalloid liverwort genus with over 100 species and a worldwide distribution. Seven species are listed to occur in Europe.

Development and evaluation of a duplex RT-qPCR assay for the detection and identification of Mayaro and chikungunya viruses

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Microbiology
Mayaro virus (MAYV) is a mosquito-borne alphavirus that is widespread in the Amazon basin, where it co-circulates with the closely related chikungunya virus (CHIKV). Due to the limited surveillance and technical limitations of diagnostic assays (scarcity
