Evidence for the continental origin of Pliocene deposits in the central Baja California peninsula, Mexico, and implications for controls on biodiversity

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Previous studies have documented genetic divergence within the last few million years between northern and southern populations of terrestrial plants and animals along the Baja California peninsula, with many studies hypothesising that the divergence is due to an ancient seaway that crossed the central peninsula and created a physical barrier ...

Standing on a common ground: a comparison of static stability approaches for pallet loading

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 501-527, January 2027.
Abstract At the practical level, the static stability constraint is one of the most important constraints in practical pallet loading problems, such as air cargo palletizing. Approaches to modeling static stability, which range from base support and mechanical equilibrium calculations to physical simulation, differ in workflow, focus, and assumptions ...

Large Regional Variation in Global Impacts of Agriculture on Terrestrial Insects and Other Arthropods

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
We show that impacts of agriculture on arthropod biodiversity are notably less negative in Europe than in other regions, which we find is driven by a degraded baseline, a selection bias of reference sites, and novel species compositions in agriculture that favour widespread habitat generalists and non‐native species.

A New Species of Loxomerus Chaudoir (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Migadopinae) From the Subantarctic Antipodes Islands, New Zealand: Resurgence of a Flightless Beetle Following Mouse Eradication

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
Loxomerus antipodes Liebherr and Marris, sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Carabidae), is described from the New Zealand subantarctic Antipodes Islands archipelago. Loxomerus antipodes, sp. nov., was considered conspecific with Loxomerus brevis Blanchard, 1853, from the Auckland Islands, but it is diagnosed from that sister taxon based on numerous anatomical ...

Deep Learning Pipeline for the Identification of Ground Beetles (Carabidae) in New Zealand

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
The identification of invertebrates is often difficult and time‐consuming because of their high abundance and diversity. This limits the use of invertebrates in environmental monitoring and conservation. However, computer vision approaches combined with deep learning models offer a range of benefits to insect conservation, particularly for image‐based ...

River Sand and Gravel Mining: Global Drivers, Impacts, and Pathways for Sustainable Management

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract River sand and gravel are mined worldwide at volumes that now rival their natural replenishment, yet quantitative knowledge of this mining activity and its consequences lags far behind many other global environmental pressures. We synthesize 411 peer‐reviewed studies published since 1974 within a new Driver‐to‐Management Pathway for ...

Diabetes‐related barriers to cancer screening in women with type 2 diabetes: A qualitative interview study

open access: yesBritish Journal of Health Psychology, Volume 31, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Objectives People with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are more likely to develop breast and bowel cancers. Despite this, cancer screening participation is lower among women with diabetes than among women without diabetes, indicating diabetes‐related barriers to screening, but little research has examined this.

A Non‐Destructive Method for Sex Identification in a Tubuliferan Thrips

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 9, Page 1135-1140, September 2026.
Accurate sex identification of the biological control agent Pseudophilothrips ichini Hood (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae) is a useful tool for colony management and experimental applications in biological control. Destructive methods of sex identification limit specimen usage, prompting the need for a sex identification method for live thrips.

A Fly in the Ointment? Non‐Target Fly Pest Benefits From Reduction in Ivermectin During Targeted Selective Treatment

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 9, Page 1022-1032, September 2026.
Targeted Selective Treatment (TST) can reduce the rate of resistance development in livestock gastrointestinal nematodes but can also reduce the effects of anthelmintics on non‐target organisms. Most studies of non‐target anthelmintic effects focus on beneficial species.
