Restoration ecology in conflict along the Colorado front range

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) is a challenge to restoration in western North America. It attracts the attention of academic and government research scientists, weed managers, and chemical companies. Attempts to control it cause conflicts among these groups.

Native seed mix functional composition determines native plant recruitment and competition against invasive annual grass Bromus tectorum

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The invasion of the winter annual grass Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) reduces native plant biodiversity and increases wildfire risk in western North America. Seed‐based restoration often fails to increase native plant recruitment in degraded, Cheatgrass‐invaded areas.

AI‐assisted identification of stromatoporoids

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 4, September 2026.
AI models integrating vertical and transverse thin‐section images accurately classify Silurian stromatoporoid taxa, achieving up to 97% accuracy. This dual‐orientation framework mirrors traditional taxonomy, reveals patterns of morphological continuity, and provides a scalable, quantitative approach for advancing automated fossil identification ...

Information Supply Chain Gaps for Hard‐to‐Reach Communities: A Solution‐Oriented Framework From Weather Service Insights

open access: yesCommunity Science, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Despite advancements in forecasting and warning technologies, some communities still face barriers to accessing essential weather and climate information. These gaps disproportionately affect individuals with limited digital access, unstable housing, or limited English proficiency, leading to uneven impacts during high‐impact weather events ...

Large (∼80 km) Shield Volcanoes on the Moon Possibly Fed by Shallow Magma Reservoirs

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Large shield volcanoes are among the most prominent volcanic structures on terrestrial bodies. The Moon, while volcanically very active in the past and hosting various volcanic features, seems to lack such large shield volcanoes. Here, we report the identification of two lunar volcanic domes (Prinz‐Harbinger and Theophilus) with diameters ...

The tiger salamander as a promising alternative model organism to the axolotl for fracture healing and regenerative biology research

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 8, Page 2151-2175, August 2026.
Abstract Scientists have been captivated by the ability to regenerate, focusing on uncovering the mechanisms of epimorphic regeneration and applying them to human medicine. The axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) has become the most intensively studied model in tetrapod regeneration research, particularly concerning limb regeneration.

Energy Channel Coupling by Mid‐Trophic Level Fish Challenges the Landscape Theory for Food Web Architecture in a Large Tropical Lake Ecosystem

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Lake Turkana, a large tropical East African Great Lake, is an ideal model for examining how consumer fish species may mediate the coupling of fast and slow energy channels within food webs. We explored the ecological niche dynamics of five important Lake Turkana fish species across ontogeny and used a Bayesian isotope mixing model approach to identify ...

Encroachment on Water Corridors Drives Farmers–Giraffe Conflicts Along River Tana Ecosystem in Eastern Kenya

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Human–wildlife conflict in Garissa County, Kenya, is intensified by the degradation of historical water corridors, driven mainly by Prosopis juliflora invasion, farmland expansion, and riverbank erosion. This study identifies conflict hotspots near water sources and croplands, and shows that supplementary feeding effectively reduces giraffe incursions ...

Assessments of Liquefaction Triggering and Manifestation at Three Case History Sites in Napier Based on 1931 Hawke's Bay, New Zealand, Earthquake

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
The 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake (∼MS 7.8) stands as one of New Zealand's most devastating, causing widespread liquefaction and damage across the city of Napier. However, Napier remains underrepresented in liquefaction hazard studies as compared to other regions in the country.

Managing for resilience with ecological structure: Portfolio effects in the Laurentian Great Lakes

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 24, Issue 6, August 2026.
Combined effects of global change, including land conversion, biological invasions, and overexploitation, have degraded the resilience of ecosystems and the services they provide. Here, we identify key ecological structures and processes that can be targeted by management to improve resilience at scales ranging from single species to entire landscapes.
