Trap‐dependence in capture–recapture studies: empirical evidence in vertebrates and biological meaning

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.
Capture–recapture (CR) models have been used for decades to estimate population size and demographic rates in natural populations from the monitoring of individuals. One of the most frequent deviations from assumptions required in CR studies is the immediate trap‐dependence that corresponds to the correlation between capture events. We review empirical

Aspiration of superabsorbent polymer beads in a 2‐year‐old Boston terrier

open access: yesVeterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract This case report describes the first documented instance of a dog aspirating a superabsorbent polymer bead, commonly marketed as Orbeez, and its successful removal. Superabsorbent polymers are widely used in children's toys and decorative products, and they possess the ability to expand significantly in water.

Root Microbiota: Orchestrating Architecture‐Smart Crops

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.
Root‐associated microbiota play an important role in shaping crop architecture. The concept of “holobiont architecture” is proposed, in which plant architecture is dynamically fine‐tuned through synergistic plant–microbiome interactions. This framework offers novel avenues for breeding architecture‐smart crops with improved phenotypic plasticity and ...

Emergence, spread, and impact of high‐pathogenicity avian influenza H5 in wild birds and mammals of South America and Antarctica

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract The currently circulating high‐pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) virus of the subtype H5 causes variable illness and death in wild and domestic birds and mammals, as well as in humans. This virus evolved from the Goose/Guangdong lineage of the HPAI H5 virus, which emerged in commercial poultry in China in 1996, spilled over into wild birds,
