Species‐specific interactions with apex carnivores yield unique benefits and burdens for mesocarnivores

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Mesocarnivores navigate a complex risk–reward continuum in ecosystems shared with their apex counterparts, balancing scavenging opportunities with risks of mortality. However, the risks to mesocarnivores in multi‐carnivore systems are not uniform; they can vary with specific apex–meso pairings.

Projected Warming of the Southern Ocean Disrupts Embryonic Development and Hatch Timing in Antarctic Fish

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 1, March 2026.
Embryos are particularly sensitive to thermal challenge. Antarctic fish embryos raised at projected Southern Ocean temperatures hatch during the winter, have a high incidence of morphological abnormalities, have shorter body lengths, and express genes indicative of cellular stress.

Addressing biases in sliding window analysis gives new insight into the response of parturition date to weather in a wild mammal

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
Animal breeding phenology in temperate and high latitude regions is often predicted by weather variables, such as temperature. Much work on this topic has focused on taxonomic groups that employ adaptive plastic responses to annual variation in an environmental cue, with analytical approaches developed to determine when weather has an effect and the ...

Frugivory‐mediated trophic cascades: how apex predators can shape the recruitment of a fleshy‐fruited tree

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
The recovery of large carnivores offers unique opportunities to study their cascading impacts on plant population dynamics. Medium‐sized carnivores, both prey and seed dispersers, are suppressed by apex predators, indirectly increasing seed‐eating rodent's populations and potentially altering plant establishment.

Demystifying fungal systematics: A gateway to fungal literacy and societal/ecological relevance through familiar species

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 499-515, March 2026.
Fungal systematics can feel overwhelming given the vast species diversity within this kingdom, with numerous subgroups at every taxonomic rank. This often creates a disconnect between the undertsnidng of fungal taxonomic diversity and their societal relevance.

Brown Bear (Ursus arctos) Field Sign Monitoring for 40 Years (1976–2015) in Northern Hokkaido, Japan, During a Wildlife Management Policy Shift

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 2, March 2026.
Long‐term (1976–2015) field sign monitoring of brown bears in northern Hokkaido, Japan, yielded 2421 records (feeding signs, tracks, scats) along 9890 km of survey routes. The digitized spatiotemporal dataset provides insights into population dynamics, habitat use, and feeding behavior across a major wildlife management policy shift.

BSG‐BATS: An open‐source data annotation portal and classifier for European bat vocalizations

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 718-726, March 2026.
Abstract Bats are ecologically important mammals whose monitoring increasingly relies on acoustic data. However, many tools for bat call identification remain subscription‐based, closed‐source, region‐specific or limited in scalability, creating barriers to global data integration and method development.

Conjoined Parasitic Twins (Cephalo‐Thoracopagus Parasiticus) in a Free Ranging Northern Bat (Eptesicus nilssonii): A Micro‐CT Anatomic and Genetic Survey

Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia, Volume 55, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The detailed anatomical situation of male stillborn cephalo‐thoracopagus twins in a wild ranging northern bat (Eptesicus nilssonii) is described by means of full body micro‐CT scans in high resolution with three‐dimensional computational reconstruction.

Climate Change, Air Quality, and Pollen Allergies—State of the Art and Recommendations for Research and Public Health

Allergy, Volume 81, Issue 3, Page 663-683, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Allergies are one of the major health challenges of our time, associated with a high individual burden of disease and high costs for the healthcare system. Given their prevalence, allergies are also highly relevant from a public health perspective. The development of allergic diseases is multifactorial. In addition to individual factors (e.g.,

Resurrected analysis: Navigating time between two environmental projects in Finland

Area, Volume 58, Issue 1, March 2026.
Short Abstract This paper considers the ways in which research projects linger beyond their ‘official’ endings, and how to deal with this. Building on conversations on slow research, performed endings, and the complexities of data storage and analysis over time, I relate some experiences with my research on the Finnish Saimaa Ringed Seal, which ...
