Environmental and Temporal Effects on Vocal Activity in a Nocturnal Primate: Implications for Passive Acoustic Monitoring

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 3, March 2026.
Passive acoustic monitoring of the Critically Endangered Nosy Be sportive lemur (Lepilemur tymerlachsoni) for two lunar cycles revealed that vocal activity (i.e., call rates) increased over a 4‐h sampling window starting at twilight. The lemurs also called more as temperature and moonlight increased, and called less when it rained.

Patterns of Composition, Richness and Endemicity of Cyperaceae Across Open and Closed Habitats in Madagascar's Central Highlands

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
We assessed Cyperaceae species composition, richness and endemicity across closed (forest), dry open (dry grasslands, rocky outcrops, bare dry soils), and wet open (marshes, swamps, wet grasslands, riparian areas) habitats in Isalo National Park and the Itremo Massif Protected Area, both in Madagascar's Central Highlands.

Relapsing–Remitting Multiple Sclerosis Is Associated With a Dysbiotic Oral Microbiome

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 13, Issue 2, Page 256-269, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by inflammation, demyelination, and neurological impairment. While the gut microbiota's role in MS is extensively studied, the association between the oral microbiota and MS remains underexplored, particularly in North American cohorts.

Global insular leaf size shifts follow the island rule, independently of insect herbivory and macroclimate

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
We found a positive, non‐linear, saturating relationship between mainland and island leaf sizes, reflecting an island rule‐like pattern. Small‐leaved mainland species tend to develop larger leaves on islands, while this effect weakens for larger‐leaved species, a pattern consistent across both conspecific and congeneric comparisons. Abstract The island

Communities with diverse subsistence needs require a variety of functional tree traits

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
Malagasy forest users vary the traits that they prefer for different household uses. Accessibility is prioritized for daily uses such as fuelwood, while functional traits are valued for longer‐term uses. Differences between men and women reflect traditional gender roles.
