Diel and Artificial Light Effects on Nearshore Communities Revealed by eDNA Metabarcoding

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
Environmental DNA revealed rapid, taxon‐specific community reorganization across diel and artificial light conditions in a nearshore marine ecosystem. Distinct responses among trophic groups indicate that artificial light at night reshapes predator–prey interactions and community structure within 30 min of exposure.

Generalist passerine birds perform a functional role as pollinators in temperate Europe

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 7, July 2026.
Nectar‐feeding birds are effective pollinators. In temperate Europe, songbirds visit flowers but lack specialist traits, so functional pollination has been discounted. We use observations, pollen identification and experiments to demonstrate that generalist birds affect fruit‐set of flowering trees.

Single‐Cell Transcriptomics and Development of Gametocyte‐Specific Molecular Markers for Avian Malaria Parasites

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 5, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Avian malaria, caused by Plasmodium parasites, poses a significant threat to bird populations worldwide, particularly in vulnerable island ecosystems. Yet, progress in understanding avian malaria transmission dynamics has been hampered by the lack of molecular tools to quantify and sex the transmissible stages of the parasite: the male and ...

A Wider View: Amie Siegel's Panorama and the Role of Contemporary Art in Natural History Museum Critique and Practice

Curator: The Museum Journal, Volume 69, Issue 3, Page 448-457, July 2026.
ABSTRACT In Panorama, artist Amie Siegel montaged films made by Carnegie Museum of Natural History (CMNH) staff in the 1930s–1970s when documenting their research expeditions and exhibition projects, along with her own footage shot in the museum. Displayed at Carnegie Museum of Art in 2023–2024, the exhibition made visible the often hidden labors of ...

Lucky To Be Alive, Luckier to Breed: Lifetime Reproduction in Weddell Seals

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 7, July 2026.
In our analysis we obtained the distribution of LRS following a theoretical and an empirical approach and compared outcomes. Our theoretical LRS distribution was strikingly similar to the empirical distribution estimated from females experiencing natural intrinsic trait variability and extrinsic environmental variability.

Eastern Pacific Corals Track Robust ENSO Variability and Stronger La Niña Events 4,000 Years Before Present

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract The interannual El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO) triggers extreme climate events worldwide. Geochemical proxies in coral skeletons from the eastern equatorial Pacific (EP) track ENSO conditions, constraining its long‐term variance and response to forcing.
