Predicting suitable breeding areas for different locust species – A multi-scale approach accounting for environmental conditions and current land cover situation

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2022
In this study, we present a fused multi-scale approach to model habitat suitability index (HSI) maps for three different locust species. The presented methodology was applied for the Italian locust (Calliptamus italicus, CIT) in Pavlodar oblast, Northern

Estimating seasonal survival of migratory birds using continuous‐time capture–recapture models

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 6, September 2026.
Abstract Understanding the population dynamics of migratory species requires consideration of their entire annual cycle. A key requirement is the decomposition of annual survival into seasonal periods. While there is increasing evidence that migrations are the most dangerous phase of the annual cycle, temporal variation in seasonal survival and its ...

Gut Microbiomes of Two Bamboo Locusts Reveal Divergent Metabolic Potentials

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
We compared the gut microbiota of two bamboo‐feeding locust pests, Ceracris kiangsu and Ceracris nigricornis, using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing for six geographic populations of C. kiangsu and publicly available C. nigricornis datasets. Both species were dominated by Firmicutes and Proteobacteria, but showed significant differences in community ...

Population Status, Ecology and Conservation Challenges of Cattle Egrets (Bubulcus ibis), Especially in the Southern Africa Subregion: A Systematic Review and Evidence Synthesis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
The Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis) occupies a wide range of natural and human‐modified habitats, yet research effort across its range is highly uneven. Our systematic review of 173 studies synthesises patterns in population trends, habitat use, breeding ecology, threats and ecosystem services, revealing strong geographic and thematic biases in available ...

The enhancing effects of locust bean gum and xanthan gum on the digestibility of potato starch under thermal treatments

Food Biomacromolecules, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 488-498, September 2026.
The dual‐thermal treatment enhanced the interaction between potato starch and gums, consequently reducing starch digestibility. Abstract Locust bean gum (LBG) and xanthan gum (XG) played regulatory roles in the digestibility of potato starch (PS) during thermal treatments.
