Eight Years of Citizen Science Reveal Taxonomic Confusion Patterns and Dynamic Participation in the Monitoring of Vespa velutina in Spain

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The yellow‐legged hornet (Vespa velutina nigrithorax) is a successful invasive species in Europe, where its monitoring is partially reliant on citizen science (CS) initiatives. While CS is a powerful tool for early detection, taxonomic confusion and fluctuating participant engagement can limit its effectiveness.

Long‐Term Population Declines of Habitat‐Shifting Species in the City: A Living Planet Index Approach for Berlin, Germany

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
We applied two global biodiversity indices at a city scale and revealed significant declines in odonate and amphibian populations in freshwater systems over several decades. Our study demonstrates the effectiveness of both indices as a baseline for fulfil urban‐related biodiversity framework targets if suitable biodiversity time series are available ...

Providing regular and frequent maps of losses and gains of farmland birds based on European monitoring data

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Knowledge of species distributions is essential for informing policies on nature conservation and restoration. However, updating them on a regular basis and doing so in a harmonized manner at the international level is difficult. The European Bird Census Council integrated national monitoring data covering 5 years to update farmland bird ...

Threats to Nature's Contributions to People Provided by Terrestrial Vertebrates Across Europe

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Species and ecosystem processes provide essential benefits to people, known as Nature's Contributions to People (NCP). However, we still lack a comprehensive understanding of NCP provided by terrestrial vertebrates on a macroecological scale, and of the threats they face. To address this, we built a comprehensive dataset that documents the

Decoding Aquaculture's Future: A Review of Molecular Docking and Simulation in Enhancing Growth and Disease Resistance

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aquaculture has overtaken capture fisheries as the main source of aquatic animal protein, marking a critical step in global food security. Yet, rapid intensification faces major challenges, including disease outbreaks, environmental degradation, and dependence on wild‐caught fish for feed.

Nanjing Consensus II on Washed Microbiota Transplantation: Statements From the CHINAGUT Conference

Microbiota Medicine Research, Volume 1, Issue 2, Page 45-62, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The new method of fecal microbiota transplantation, based on automatic facilities and washing processes, was coined as washed microbiota transplantation (WMT). The first recommendations on WMT were released as Nanjing Consensus report by the fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT)‐standardization Study Group in 2019.

Impact of parameterization in multiple acoustic index comparisons: practical cases in terrestrial and underwater soundscapes

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 12, Issue 3, Page 388-400, June 2026.
Parameter choices in acoustic analyses (sampling frequency, FFT size and window overlap) strongly influence multivariate soundscape separation. Using terrestrial and coral reef recordings, we show that these settings can exaggerate or mask ecological differences, emphasizing the need for parameter sensitivity testing and transparent reporting in ...

TABMON: Design and deployment of a transnational passive acoustic monitoring network for European birds

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 1867-1879, June 2026.
Abstract Ecological surveys are often fragmented, costly and limited in scale, leading to large and long‐standing knowledge gaps which threaten our ability to properly safeguard biodiversity. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) has promised to deliver automated biodiversity monitoring, but networks are rarely deployed on scales that can offer truly novel
