High‐elevation adaptation and gestational hypoxia jointly shape vascular development in a rodent placenta

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend We investigated how environmental hypoxia and genetic adaptation to high altitudes jointly impact the development of the placental exchange surface in ways that might protect fetal growth potential. We used wild‐derived, lab‐born North American deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) from low‐elevation and high‐elevation environments (

Comparing Drone and Vessel‐Based Imaging to Quantify Epibiont Coverage on Humpback Whales

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Cetacean epibionts offer noninvasive insights into host health, physiology, and spatial ecology, yet quantitative assessments in wild populations remain scarce. Although vessel‐based observations may be limited by field of view and analyst input, unoccupied aerial vehicles (UAVs; drones) are increasingly used to monitor cetacean health indices,

Residence Near Agricultural Crops at Birth and Risk of Adult Testicular Germ Cell Tumors: A French Nationwide Case–Control Study Using Historical Aerial GIS Data

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 5, Page 1153-1166, 1 September 2026.
As the incidence of testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs) rises, prenatal exposure to agricultural pesticides may represent an important risk factor. Here, geographic information system‐based measures of farmland proximity at birth were used as a proxy for early‐life pesticide exposure in France, a major pesticide consumer.

Ethnobotanical insights into the medicinal and food uses of Lamiaceae in the Mediterranean region: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1500-1516, September 2026.
For generations, Mediterranean communities have used Lamiaceae or Labiatae plants like rosemary, thyme or mint to care for their health and to enrich their food. By bringing together dispersed knowledge from across the Mediterranean region, our review revealed the continuing relevance of Lamiaceae while also compiling past uses that may hold future ...

An interdisciplinary review of the interplay of conflict, socio‐economic factors, and land cover and vegetation dynamics in Colombia

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1533-1549, September 2026.
Colombia's forests play a crucial role in preserving biodiversity and mitigating climate change, but they are currently facing severe degradation, particularly after the 2016 Peace Agreement. Our literature review highlights a growing research interest in this topic and demonstrates how interdisciplinary approaches combining diverse methods can enhance

Why Fire Suppression Persists: Territorial Politics and the Criminalisation of Fire in India's Political Forests

open access: yesAntipode, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Why does fire suppression remain central to forest governance globally, despite the increasing recognition of fire's ecological and livelihood significance? This study examines the persistence of fire suppression in India, arguing that it continues not for ecological reasons but as a political technology of state territorial control.

Business, Bioeconomy and Biodiversity: A Management Framework for Integrating Bioeconomy and Biodiversity

open access: yesBusiness and Society Review, Volume 131, Issue 3, Fall 2026.
ABSTRACT Given the dependence of the bioeconomy on an intact biodiversity, companies aiming to contribute to the transition to a bioeconomy are likely to benefit from addressing biodiversity‐related risks and opportunities. Besides attending to key bioeconomy principles, managers may need to additionally consider direct drivers of biodiversity loss, i ...

Myths, Furphies and Red Herrings Associated With Dingo Ecology and Management

open access: yesEcological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Variability in the inferential strength or reliability of different scientific studies creates uncertainty in the status of knowledge on a given subject, giving rise to multiple myths, furphies and red herrings in scientific discourse. This is particularly true in the case of dingo ecology and management in Australia, which exemplifies common ...

Addressing Bias in Non‐Probability Fisheries Surveys Using Multilevel Regression and Poststratification Approaches

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 5, Page 1088-1106, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Quantifying harvest of fish stocks is challenging as census data are often unavailable, so surveys are required. Traditional probability‐based surveys use random sampling to obtain representative data that can be scaled to estimate total impact.

Satellite‐Based Fishing Fleet Tracking: A New Foundation for Fisheries Science and Management

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 5, Page 1134-1150, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Satellite‐based vessel‐tracking technologies have ushered in a new era for monitoring fishing activity at scale. By combining artificial intelligence (AI) methods with remotely‐sensed data, researchers can now detect, classify and analyse fishing behaviour across vast and previously unobservable ocean regions.
