The Effect of Differing Levels of Intrasexual and Intersexual Selection on Survival and Reproduction Under a Heatwave

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Precopulatory mating behaviour, are important for fitness and can be disrupted by heatwave's. Here we assess how differing levels of intrasexual and intrasexual selection in precopulatory mating behaviours impacts fitness responses to heatwaves. We find that the likelihood of having a brood is impacted by differences in intrasexual and intersexual ...

Boom‐Bust Dynamics Drive Community‐Wide Dietary Structuring in Desert‐Dwelling Raptors

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We investigated how boom‐bust productivity dynamics affected dietary structuring within raptor communities of an arid bioregion. We found that higher productivity was associated with high dietary overlap, lower niche breadth and greater foraging on small mammals; however, raptors that were nomadic exhibited greater specialisation regardless of ...

The Vulnerability of New Zealand Forage Plants to Incursions by New Pests, Pathogens and Weeds, and the Case for Greater Protection

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
We outline the diversity of pests, weeds and plant pathogens absent from New Zealand that threaten forage production, examine their potential import pathways, and outline the challenges of managing them should they arrive. The number and diversity of threats and pathways indicates ongoing incursions are inevitable.

Maternal Body Condition Score, Gestation Type, and Metabolic Profiles in Tropical Sheep: Implications for Lamb Survival and Performance

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
In tropical systems, peripartum challenges ewe nutrition, making body condition score (BCS) a key indicator of energy reserves and health. This study assessed the effects of BCS at pregnancy diagnosis (BCS‐PD < 3 or ≥ 3), gestation type (singleton or multiple), and time on metabolic profiles, colostrum quality, and lamb performance in 70 crossbred ...

Patterning of ultrathin YBCO nanowires using a new focused-ion-beam process

open access: yes, 2010
Manufacturing superconducting circuits out of ultrathin films is a challenging task when it comes to patterning complex compounds, which are likely to be deteriorated by the patterning process.

Escherichia Species Diversity Across Pristine and Impacted Catchments: Evidence for Avian Sources of Escherichia marmotae in Aotearoa/New Zealand

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
Escherichia spp. were obtained from pristine and impacted environments to define community structure and assess potential human health risks. E. coli was more prevalent from sites affected by livestock or human activities, whereas non‐E. coli Escherichia spp. were more prevalent in avian faeces and native forest with fewer faecal sources.

A 50‐year perspective on the use and potential of artiodactyl calcanei in bone adaptation studies

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 437-485, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Sheep and deer calcanei are important models for studying cortical (compact) and trabecular (cancellous) bone adaptation because they are amenable to direct strain measurement (due to lack of surrounding muscles), experience relatively simple/unidirectional bending, exhibit osteon remodelling, and have the most pronounced regional variations ...
