Potential for the American toad (Anaxyrus americanus) to contribute to biological control in a vegetable agroecosystem

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract The American toad (Anaxyrus americanus) is a native insectivorous amphibian common in agricultural fields in eastern North America. Past research on this and related species suggests potential for positive or negative effects on pest populations, depending on the prevalence of intraguild predation.

Oxidative costs of migration: infections as an added burden

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.
There is increasing evidence that over‐production of reactive species (RS) constitutes a significant physiological cost for migrating birds. The current view entails that RS during migration originate primarily from increased metabolic activity associated with prolonged flights and refueling.

Cognitive Control and Creativity in Children: The Role of Task‐Specific Demands in Divergent Thinking

The Journal of Creative Behavior, Volume 60, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Cognitive control is known to support divergent thinking in adults, but findings in children remain mixed. This study examined the association between cognitive control—measured as a composite score from two executive function tasks—and verbal divergent thinking in 120 French‐speaking school‐aged children (aged 10 to 12 years). Originality and

Nest Counts of Kororā/Little Penguins on Horomaka/Banks Peninsula, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 1, March 2026.
To better understand the population trends of kororā/little penguins (Eudyptula minor), the Horomaka/Banks Peninsula Kororā Survey of nesting colonies was conducted across two consecutive breeding seasons (November–January 2020/2021 and 2021/2022). Due to the number of sites and time requirements, volunteers were recruited to search 89 breeding sites ...
