Evaluating Satellite Monitoring of Vegetation Health With Fauna Habitat Managers in Mind
Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 2, May 2026.ABSTRACT In Australia, pastoralists, not‐for‐profit, and government organisations are managing stands of open woodland to conserve threatened species' habitats. These land areas are usually larger than a cropping field but smaller than many National Parks in Australia.

Material Limitations and Processing Challenges of Bio‐Based Thermoplastics: A Review
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 14, April 10, 2026.This review highlights recent advances in bio‐based thermoplastic polymers (b‐bTPs), focusing on their composition, formulation challenges, and industrial applications. Key aspects include the use of additives and blends to improve performance, microcellular injection molding techniques, and the recyclability of b‐bTPs foams.

Journal of Engineering Education, Volume 115, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract Background The complexity of engineering practice highlights the need to make students aware of their responsibility as future professionals. However, integrating this concept into the engineering curricula remains a challenge. Purpose The study explores how engineering students conceptualize their responsibilities as future professionals and ...

Understanding the human dimensions of wildfire risk at a community level in British Columbia, Canada
Canadian Geographies / Géographies canadiennes, Volume 70, Issue 2, Summer / été 2026.Abstract Recent spikes in the number of large and catastrophic wildfires in Canada pose significant risks to the environment and society. Rural and remote communities are especially at risk due to their location in wildfire‐prone areas, remoteness, and limited access or escape routes.

Seasonality as a structuring factor of the dung beetle community in burned neotropical savannas
Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 336-345, April 2026.We tested the effects of fire, vegetation cover and seasonality on dung beetle communities, focusing on species richness, composition and co‐occurrence patterns in savannas. Fire did not affect species richness. However, seasonality was the dominant factor influencing species composition, followed by fire and vegetation cover.

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 381-394, April 2026.We evaluated how chronic anthropogenic disturbances (CAD) and seasonal variation influence interactions between ants and plants with extrafloral nectaries (EFN's), with emphasis on the responses of ants, herbivores, and plants. Ant and herbivore diversity remained stable across seasons in the preserved cerrado, whereas the pasture had higher ant ...

Microclimate drives demographic compensation in a narrow endemic tropical species
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 1, Page 166-180, April 2026.Summary Demographic compensation occurs when reductions in some vital rates are offset by increases in others, allowing populations to maintain similar performance across varying environments. This mechanism may help explain species' ecological distributions and range limits, yet its role at microenvironmental scales remains poorly understood.

California Temperature Since 1520 CE Shows Interactions in Extremes of Heat, Drought, and Fire
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.Abstract Summer maximum temperatures (Tmax ${T}_{\text{max}}$) in the Sierra Nevada have risen rapidly since the turn of the 20th century, especially above 1,500 m where trends in the south exceed 3°C century−1. To place this warming into context, we developed a 504‐year reconstruction of growing‐season (April–September) Tmax ${T}_{\text{max}}$ (1520 ...
