Wind, waves, wing loading and the flight energetics of giant petrels
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 1979-1993, July 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Wind is a major factor driving seabird movement and energetics, the effects of which are modulated by morphology. Developments in tagging technology now make it possible to test predictions from aerodynamic theory about the effects of wind on flight performance in free ...

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 7, Page 1248-1259, July 2026.Multi‐year monitoring of the crevice‐nesting High Arctic seabird, the Little Auk (Alle alle), across four colonies spanning distinct climatic regimes revealed that snowmelt timing is a key and consistent driver of breeding phenology. Earlier snowmelt advances access to nesting habitat, enabling birds to initiate reproduction sooner. These findings show

Three‐Dimensional Correlated Random Walks for Animal Movement and Habitat Selection
Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 7, July 2026.Step selection functions (SSFs) are popular models of animal movement and habitat selection. However, SSFs have only been formulated in two dimensions, which limits our understanding of species that swim or fly. In this paper, we present fully three‐dimensional SSFs, suitable for positioning data collected as easting, northing, and altitude/depth.

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 813-830, July 2026.ABSTRACT Introductions of species outside their native range, such as pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) in the Laurentian Great Lakes, can serve as unplanned experiments that provide new insights into ecological adaptation. We synthesize available information on the understudied Great Lakes pink salmon invasion and highlight how this case can inform

Soil Use and Management, Volume 42, Issue 3, July‐September 2026.ABSTRACT Sustainable soil management in arid regions is constrained by the limited translation of subgroup‐level soil taxonomy into site‐specific agronomic recommendations. Hence, this study integrated field observations and laboratory analyses from 18 soil profiles with freely available Google Earth Engine (GEE) datasets.

Are West African Heat‐Lows Analogous to Dry Tropical Cyclones?
International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 8, 30 June 2026.Heat‐lows qualitatively resemble dry tropical cyclones (TCs), though their underlying physics has yet to be compared. In this study, we show that West African transient heat‐low climatology correlates well with TC potential intensity generalised over land.

Multi‐Country‐Multi‐City Characterisation of Heat Stress and Exposure in Africa
International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 8, 30 June 2026.This study provides the first continent‐wide, grid‐specific assessment of heat stress trends in Africa, revealing a sharp rise in multi‐scale extreme heat episodes and shifting population exposure. Findings highlight urgent implications for urban planning and climate adaptation.

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 8, 30 June 2026.A hybrid modelling framework that applies feature engineering using the KNN model to estimate high‐resolution air temperature across Israel by integrating meteorological and environmental predictors. ABSTRACT The increasing global planetary temperature, combined with rapid urbanisation, underscores the urgent need to evaluate human exposure to air ...

Long‐Term Variability and Spatial Differentiation of the Frost‐Free Period in Iceland
International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 8, 30 June 2026.Warming in Iceland (May–September) is expressed as fewer Tmin < 0°C days in the interior and more Tmin > 0°C days along the coasts. ABSTRACT Climate change in subarctic regions leads to significant transformations in thermal conditions; however, the long‐term variability of the frost‐free season (FFS)—and consequently, the growing period—remains poorly

Satellite‐Based Assessment of Methane Emissions From the Darvaza Gas Crater
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.Abstract Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, and the Darvaza crater in Turkmenistan is a rare, persistent emitter. There are uncertainties regarding its formation date (either 1963 or 1971), fire ignition, and the fire's influence on methane release. Using historical Landsat imagery, we reconstruct the fire history, identifying that combustion began ...
