The impacts of biological invasions

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

A Comparative Analysis of the Critical Resilience and Gender Equity of Mothers Impacted by Albinism: Promising Practices From Tanzania and South Africa

open access: yesPublic Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
Women bear the brunt of human rights violations faced by persons with albinism. Our ethnographic study showed that critical resilience comes about through social relationships, collective practices, and identities present in communities (local and national). We identified six promising practices in Tanzania and South Africa to strengthen gender equity.

Citizen science reveals host‐switching in louse flies and keds (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) during a period of anthropogenic change

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 305-322, June 2026.
A study of louse flies in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, and Ireland found 212 different interactions between Hippoboscidae and their hosts, of which 70 were previously unrecorded. No louse flies were found on aquatic species of birds. Host‐switching to gulls (Laridae) has occurred during a period in which these species have started relying on ...

Intraparticular Heterogeneity Limits Capacity in Lithium–Sulfur Batteries With Carbonate Electrolyte

open access: yesBattery Energy, Volume 5, Issue 3, May 2026.
Cryo‐electron‐microscopy and electrochemical testing reveal that the cathode‐electrolyte interphase in Li–S batteries with carbonate electrolytes forms heterogeneously across carbon particles. This intraparticle heterogeneity limits capacity and rate performance, highlighting the critical role of particle size and cathode‐electrolyte interphase ...

Hypotheses for the Adaptive Maintenance of Phenotypic Polymorphisms

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Phenotypic polymorphisms offer easily observable diversity ideal for empirical and theoretical exploration, but developing and comparing hypotheses for the adaptive maintenance of polymorphism can be a challenge. Here, we propose a framework categorizing polymorphisms based on (i) one of five distinct types of maintenance selection and (ii) the context

Wild Animal Suffering Is Not Intractable: A Precautionary Approach to Compassionate Intervention

open access: yesJournal of Applied Philosophy, Volume 43, Issue 2, Page 471-490, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Wild animals suffer due to human activity, yet natural factors contribute far more significantly to their suffering. In light of this, some propose that we have a pro tanto obligation to intervene in ecosystems to improve wild animal welfare.

Generation cycles in experimental populations of a multivoltine insect

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 5, Page 782-794, May 2026.
Although theory suggests various mechanisms by which environmental and ecological factors may drive generational fluctuations, our field‐cage experiment is the first to demonstrate how internal dynamics and external disturbances jointly produce synchronised, large‐scale outbreak cycles.

Morphological and physiological variability of species of Meloidogyne in West Africa and implications of their control [PDF]

open access: yes, 1978
The extreme morphological and physiological variability of certain rootknot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) and its implication on the development of control methods of these parasites, based upon crop rotations and the use of resistant varieties of ...

A systematic review on research trends and commercialised entomopathogenic nematodes: A global perspective

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 298-313, May 2026.
Out of 136 identified EPNs, only 18 (8 Steinernema and 6 Heterorhabditis) are commercialised globally, highlighting a major gap between discovery and application. High production costs and inconsistent field efficacy are the leading obstacles to the widespread commercialisation of EPN‐based biocontrol products.
