Properties and Limitations of eDNA Substrates for Terrestrial Animal Monitoring
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) constitutes a valuable tool for monitoring terrestrial animal diversity, but outcomes are affected by multiple factors. Among these factors, the choice of sampling substrate and method is especially important and must be aligned with research objectives.

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 339-356, February 2026.Abstract Collection of large behavioural data‐sets on wild animals in natural habitats is vital in ecology and evolution studies. Recent progress in machine learning and computer vision, combined with inexpensive microcomputers, has unlocked a new frontier of fine‐scale markerless measurements.

High Fluctuating Asymmetry in Birds in a Large Neotropical City
Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 2, February 2026.Urbanisation is a powerful environmental force, negatively impacting the few organisms that persist in urban areas. Here, we investigated the relationship between urbanisation intensity and Fluctuating asymmetry (FA) in birds. Our results suggest that urbanisation (even at lower intensities) may impose stronger genetic and/or environmental stress on ...

Have the environmental benefits of insect farming been overstated? A critical review
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 163-194, February 2026.ABSTRACT Insect farming is frequently promoted as a sustainable food solution, yet current evidence challenges many environmental benefits claimed by industry proponents. This review critically examines the scientific foundation for assessing the environmental impacts of insect farming in both human food and animal feed applications.

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Spatial segregation in at‐sea distribution is frequently observed in seabirds and can have important implications for conservation and management. Globally, many albatross and petrel populations are declining due to bycatch in fisheries. In South Georgia, the decrease in wandering albatrosses (Diomedea exulans) differs among breeding sites ...
