Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 3, Page 602-608, May 2026.This study examines the ecophysiological responses of common waxbills to temperature variation in Portugal. We measured body condition and basal metabolic rate (BMR) during summer and winter across two regions in Portugal. Body condition was negatively correlated with temperature, while the relationship between BMR and temperature varied seasonally. In

Risk Status of Australia's Alpine and Subalpine Ecosystems
Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Alpine and subalpine ecosystems are threatened by changing climate and disturbance regimes because they exist under extreme geographical and climatic conditions. Understanding the threats to and risk status of alpine and subalpine ecosystems is vital to guide their conservation, inform monitoring programs and identify the relative impact of ...

Care for bees: for many reasons and in many ways [PDF]
Pollinating insects are in decline, probably worldwide. This may imply a pollination crisis, for (food) crops as well as wild plants. Eventually this decline might result in great economic losses, a human food crisis and loss of natural biodiversity ...

Contact Dermatitis, Volume 94, Issue 5, Page 494-503, May 2026.Propolis is rarely used in conventional cosmetics within the EU, and such products are therefore unlikely to be significant sources of exposure for patients with positive patch test reactions to propolis. There is no evidence that small amounts of propolis in white beeswax (cera alba) in cosmetics can trigger allergic contact dermatitis in individuals ...
