Tracking the phenology of riverine insect communities using environmental DNA

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.
We assessed if and how environmental DNA can capture the phenology of freshwater insects, iconic and ecologically highly relevant inhabitants of riverine ecosystems. By carrying out monthly eDNA sampling, we could show pronounced cyclic phenological trends in three major insect orders, with the insect communities diverging from spring to summer and ...

The “Magic” of Conflict: How Participatory Governance Can Enable Transformative Climate Adaptation

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In many cases, addressing climate risks requires transformative climate adaptation (TCA) that goes beyond small adjustments to existing systems. While scholars increasingly argue that participatory governance is key and should embrace conflict rather than push for consensus to enable TCA, this assumption remains underexplored.

Concrete in architecture: Redefining form, space, function, and insights from bibliometric analysis

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Concrete has become a cornerstone in architectural and engineering innovation, as it seamlessly integrates structural performance with artistic expression. Its evolution from ancient opus caementicium to contemporary ultra‐high‐performance concrete illustrates its adaptability to the change in technological, environmental, and design paradigms.

Floral resource strips enhance parasitoid abundance and diversity in apple orchards and promote agroecological advances in a South African biosphere reserve

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 559-572, May 2026.
Floral resource strips within apple orchards increased parasitoid abundance and influenced community composition, enhancing local biodiversity in the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve's transition zone. Ruderal and natural fynbos habitats supported higher parasitoid richness and abundance, emphasising the importance of conserving semi‐natural habitats ...

Ontogeny of the malleus in Mesocricetus auratus (Mammalia, Rodentia): Systematic and functional implications for the muroid middle ear

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 989-1004, April 2026.
Abstract The three mammalian auditory ossicles enhance sound transmission from the tympanic membrane to the inner ear. The anterior anchoring of the malleus is one of the key characters for functional classification of the auditory ossicles. Previous studies revealed a medial outgrowth of the mallear anterior process, the processus internus ...

Field-based tests for the assessment of physical fitness in children and adolescents practicing sport: A systematic review within the ESA program [PDF]

, 2019
High levels of physical fitness (PF) can positively affect both health and cognitive function, thus monitoring its levels in youth can help increase health and quality of life in adult populations later on.
