Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1582-1605, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

FASD and Intellectual Disability Equivalence: A Meta‐Analysis of Suggestibility During Forensic Interviews

Behavioral Sciences &the Law, Volume 44, Issue 3, Page 450-460, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Intellectual disability (ID) equivalence describes conditions in which individuals function cognitively and adaptively at levels comparable to ID without meeting IQ‐based diagnostic criteria. Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is characterised by impaired executive and adaptive functioning despite IQs often above the ID threshold ...

Widespread Lateral Transmission in Fergusonina Galling Flies (Diptera: Fergusoninidae) and Their Obligate Nematode Mutualists Does Not Preclude an Overall Pattern of Cospeciation

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
The biology of gall‐forming fergusoninid flies and their obligate nematode mutualists suggests strict vertical transmission of nematodes between fly generations. Using mitochondrial sequence data to associate fly and nematode haplotypes, we found widespread intraspecific horizontal transfer in multiple species.

Investigating Sex‐Biased Dispersal in a Vulnerable Marine Invertebrate, the European Spiny Lobster (Palinurus elephas)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Does dispersal differ between the sexes? Our findings underscore the power of genomic markers to study sex‐biased dispersal, elucidate sex determination systems, and facilitate sex assignment, with important implications for species conservation and management. ABSTRACT Does dispersal differ between the sexes?

Revisiting the predation paradox for the Wood Thrush, a declining Neotropical migrant

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Despite an increased density of mid‐trophic level predators in urban and suburban areas compared to rural areas, the survival of smaller prey animals, including the eggs and chicks of nesting songbirds, often remains relatively high in these areas.

Exploring Floristic Diversity and Medicinal Plant Uses in Venda, Limpopo, South Africa

Feddes Repertorium, Volume 137, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Plants have been an important source of medicine for thousands of years. To better understand the current diversity and usage of medicinal plants, floristic studies are essential. This report documents an expedition conducted in the Venda region of Limpopo, South Africa. The study was carried out in Shanzha and surrounding villages, as well as
