Perceived Lightness Differences in Complex Scenes
Color Research &Application, Volume 51, Issue 3, May/June 2026.Background strongly affects perceived lightness differences. Gray backgrounds and larger separation reduce perceived differences (gap effect). Current color‐difference models poorly predict perception in complex scenes. ABSTRACT Psychophysical experiments were conducted to quantify perceived lightness differences between stimuli presented on three ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.In this study, we took advantage of the largest camera trap‐based monitoring project in Africa, Snapshot Safari and analyzed 10,000 camera trap detections from three sites in South Africa and one site in Tanzania to test whether baboons exhibit species‐specific reactive avoidance in response to the presence of predators. ABSTRACT Predators exert strong

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1467-1487, May 2026.ABSTRACT This study quantifies the influence of alkali‐silica reaction (ASR) on the seismic fragility of prestressed concrete containment structures in nuclear power plants (NPPs). Global collapse was considered as the governing failure mode to maintain consistency with current risk assessment frameworks, and was captured using a finite element model ...

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 3, May/June 2026.Abstract To better understand the dynamics of per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in complex freshwater ecosystems, we performed a systematic meta‐analysis of PFAS distributions and spatiotemporal variance in biota of the Laurentian Great Lakes watersheds.

Moose indifferent to canopy loss from forest disturbance by bark beetles
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.Moose showed strikingly similar patterns of habitat selection before and after widespread forest disturbance following an infestation of bark beetles. Our findings indicate that beetle‐kill does not appreciably alter habitat quality for moose and highlight the importance of riparian areas in sustaining moose as they contend with changing forests ...

Illegal immigration and enforcement along the U.S.-Mexico border; an overview [PDF]
Illegal Mexico-U.S. migration has increased dramatically in recent decades. In this article, Pia Orrenius evaluates the causes of this migration and gives an overview of the enforcement and policy responses to date. Orrenius assesses the effectiveness of

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.Antler characteristics are influenced by a combination of genetics, age, and environmental factors, notably habitat quality and resource availability. In this study, we explored how diverse environmental factors, including climate and land cover composition, affect antler size, tine configuration, and the distribution of record‐scoring white‐tailed ...

Dog attacks on wild desert tortoises: A risk model
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.Domestic dogs attack and severely injure wild desert tortoises at the urban and ex‐urban interface with deserts. Severe trauma to tortoises increased 4 times to shell and limbs and 16.5 times to the gular horn over the decades between the 1970s and 2000s. Tortoises were at exponential risk of severe trauma when living within 12 km of settlements, towns,

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1172-1184, May 2026.Abstract Attitudes and emotions shape how humans perceive and behave towards wildlife, making them a key component affecting human–wildlife coexistence. In addition to direct experience with wildlife, research shows that sociodemographic characteristics and locality can influence a person's relationship with wildlife through cultural norms, economic ...
