No safe refuge? Contrasting effects of hunting on rainforest mammal persistence and (re)colonisation
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.Our results imply that hunting not only targets areas used as refuges by wildlife, but also reduces recolonisation potential and may therefore alter source–sink dynamics. We recommend spatially targeted community‐led actions to limit hunting where wildlife still persists through the creation of no‐hunting areas to ensure the long‐term persistence of ...

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Aims Understanding broad‐scale ecological responses to global change is essential for investigating and conserving biodiversity. Sea turtles, with their ancient evolutionary history and global distribution, serve as an ideal model for understanding these ecological responses.

Rhythmicity and Trait Absorption Are Linked to Nonordinary States of Consciousness
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1560, Issue 1, June 2026.This study examined how rhythmic drum sounds, neural entrainment, and individual traits shape nonordinary states of consciousness (NSCs). Compared to nonrhythmic drum sounds, rhythmic stimulation increased experiences of unity, and in individuals with low absorption, it also enhanced spiritual experiences. Higher absorption was associated with stronger
