Rewilding beyond the wilderness: Beavers can restore stream biodiversity from urban to agricultural to natural landscapes

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Our findings show that beaver‐engineering significantly enhances local biodiversity across aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, even at sites with high land‐use intensity. Hence, beavers can effectively restore stream biodiversity across a range of urban to agricultural to natural ecosystems.

Interplay of Diet, Heat Stress, and the Microbiome Shapes Health and Escape Behaviour in Amphibian Larvae

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 6, June 2026.
Diet and temperature jointly shape the gut microbiome and host performance in amphibian larvae. In a multifactorial experiment with Rana temporaria, diet quality, rearing temperature, and heatwave exposure altered microbial communities and predicted metabolic pathways, while host health remained largely stable, suggesting microbiome plasticity and ...

Promoting Methane Reductions Through Behavioural Nudges and Informational Boosts: A Field Choice Experiment in Japanese Rice Farming

Journal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 77, Issue 2, Page 677-698, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Agricultural methane emissions represent a significant contributor to global climate change, with irrigated rice cultivation being one of the primary sources. Despite the availability of effective mitigation technologies, their adoption often remains limited due to behavioural and institutional constraints.

Exploring marking methods for the predatory hoverfly Sphaerophoria rueppellii (Diptera: Syrphidae)

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 1109-1122, June 2026.
As important pollinators and predators of aphids, hoverflies play an important role in ecosystems. This study focuses on identifying the best marking technique for the model species Sphaerophoria rueppellii that can be used to track hoverfly feeding and oviposition sites, evaluating three methods: rubidium (RbCl), fluorescein, and fluorescent dusts ...

Harnessing social media data to track species range shifts

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Biodiversity monitoring programs and citizen science data remain heavily biased toward the Global North. Especially in megadiverse countries with limited biodiversity records, incorporating social media data can help address existing data gaps.
