Dopaminergic Innervation of the Nidopallium Caudolaterale in the Japanese Quail
Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 534, Issue 4, April 2026.The nidopallium caudolaterale (NCL) of the Japanese quail was delineated based on quantitative TH+ fiber density, identifying it as the primary dopaminergic target within the pallium. TH+ basket‐like structures predominantly surrounded CaMKIIa+ excitatory neurons, with sparse contacts onto GABAergic interneurons.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.We introduce ENHYDROSS, a new mechanistic model that uses optimal swimming speed and minimum cost of transport to estimate maximum dispersal distances and durations for vertebrates, enabling assessment of long‐distance oceanic dispersal potential. Applied to a range of extant and extinct animals, the model's estimates generally align with observed data;

Environmental and geomorphological drivers of frog diversity on islands worldwide
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.Island biogeography models primarily rely on island physical features and isolation to explain their biodiversity patterns. While newer models have incorporated functional traits to understand plant distribution, few empirical studies have tried to disentangle geometric constraints from niche‐based processes to predict multiple diversity facets of ...

Shifting baselines increase the risk of misinterpreting biodiversity trends
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.Ecological studies quantifying the impact of land‐use change on biodiversity may be sensitive to the choice of reference points – or baselines – particularly when sampling across human land‐use gradients and other space‐for‐time comparisons. Much depends on whether the chosen baseline has already undergone shifts in species composition because of ...

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 854-870, April 2026.Abstract Ecosystem services are rapidly degrading under anthropogenic pressure. Therefore, it is increasingly important to understand how ecosystem services flow, particularly at local scales, where people directly rely on nature for their livelihoods and well‐being. Many ecosystem services are underpinned by ecological (e.g.

Biochar‐Compost From Cashew Apple Residue as a Soil Amendment for Cashew Cultivation in Ghana
Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT The study investigated the effect of different compost types on the growth performance of cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.) varieties cultivated in a Lixisol from Northern Ghana. Six compost formulations were prepared using various combinations of poultry manure, cow dung, biochar, and cashew apple residue at different mixing ratios.

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract The tempo and mode of assembly of the world's most diverse, tropical floras remain poorly known. Evolutionary relationships within pantropical plant clades such as Connaraceae (Oxalidales, ca. 220 species) offer an opportunity to address this issue.

Informing spatial conservation prioritization with species’ traits
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract New Guinea, the most botanically diverse island on the planet, is the location for one of the boldest conservation initiatives. The Manokwari Declaration aims to achieve 70% conservation designation for the Bird's Head Peninsula. This is 40% higher than the 2022 Global Biodiversity Framework target.

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 2, Page 431-450, April 2026.Based on distinctive morphological and vocal characters we describe a new species of jewel‐babbler (genus Ptilorrhoa) from the forested karst of the Southern Fold Mountains in Papua New Guinea. The description is based on camera trap data and is presented in accordance with ICZN Declaration 45.
