Behavioral Variability of Endangered Northern Pig‐Tailed Macaques in a Degraded Mosaic Habitat in Northeast Bangladesh

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Macaca leonina in Bangladesh exhibit habitat‐, season‐, and sex–age–dependent behavioral variability. Food‐related activities (p < 0.001, multinomial regression, shown graph) were more likely in the plantation and feeding there declined in summer; adult males in the plantation were also less likely to play and groom.

Preservative Ethanol From Stomach Contents Is a Reliable Proxy for Diet DNA Metabarcoding

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
We tested whether DNA metabarcoding of preservative ethanol can substitute bulk stomach contents for reconstructing diets. Using two ethanol DNA extraction methods (precipitation and drying), the resulting profiles showed minor differences relative to each other and to bulk contents in richness, composition, and read counts, mostly limited to low ...

Potential of Agricultural Plantations and Orchards to Support Understory Forest Bird Diversity in Southeast Asia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study assessed the potential of monoculture oil palm and rubber tree plantations, as well as polyculture orchards, to support understory bird diversity compared to forest reserves using mist‐netting. Orchards recorded the highest bird abundance and richness among agricultural lands, but all agricultural lands had less than half the understory bird

Enhancing the Multifunctional Qualities of Palm Oil With Plant‐Derived Essential Oils: An Integrated HPLC and RSM Approach

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
The results established that the treatments obviously retard the thermal degradation and hydrolytic decomposition of the palm oil, which can be attributed to the antioxidant effects (high phytochemical content) of the essential oils used as the treatment material. Markedly, the bio‐fortified palm oil samples recorded greater nutritional, physiochemical,
