Regional News, Regional Bias? Evidence From Media Discourses and Welfare Decisions in Germany

open access: yesPolicy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How do media representations of immigrants shape their treatment by street‐level bureaucrats? Despite a uniform federal legal framework, decision‐making varies substantially across local welfare offices. Though prior research links national news reporting and policy implementation, little is known about how regional variation in news reporting

Environmental Justice in the Brazilian Coastal Food Systems: Policies, Institutions, and Knowledges on Small‐Scale Fishers and Energy Development

open access: yesWorld Food Policy, Volume 12, Issue 2, November 2026.
ABSTRACT This study explores environmental justice issues in coastal food systems, focusing on conflicts between small‐scale fisheries and the energy sector due to differing goals in managing food and energy sources. It does so by examining the interdependence between institutions, policies, and different types of knowledge; key elements in building ...

Feathers and flu: identifying data gaps in avian influenza host dynamics to prioritize wildlife conservation Plumas y gripe: identificación de datos faltantes en la dinámica de hospedadores de la influenza aviar para priorizar la conservación de la vida silvestre

open access: yesWildlife Monographs, Volume 225, Issue 1, September 2026.
We describe the host response continuum for highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIV), including the continuum of host responses to HPAIV infection and exposure based on the primary axis of host competence, ability to infect other hosts, and host vulnerability.

Out of Sight, Out of Mind? The Impact of Issue Proximity on Policy Choice at the Individual Level

open access: yesReview of Policy Research, Volume 43, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Scholars have extensively studied the link between issue definition and policy choice. However, empirical evidence on the role of issue proximity on policy support at the individual level remains scarce. The study draws on policy and management literatures to examine whether framing an issue as more or less spatially proximate to an individual

Navigating across individual and deliberative values: A dual Q‐method approach to elicit diverse values in grassland restoration

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2541-2558, August 2026.
Abstract The current ‘UN Decade on Restoration’ calls for collaboration between scientists and practitioners to formulate guidelines for ecosystem restoration, within which transdisciplinary approaches are imperative to rethink the diverse values associated with nature, paving the way for sustainable ecosystem restoration.

Transmasculine Pregnancy and the Limits of Reproductive Citizenship: Cisnormativity and Governance in Healthcare Systems in Brazil

open access: yesSexuality, Gender &Policy, Volume 9, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines transmasculine pregnancy as a critical lens through which to analyze the intersections of cisnormativity, reproductive governance, and reproductive citizenship within healthcare systems. While existing research has documented barriers faced by transgender populations, less attention has been paid to how institutional and ...

Farm‐Scale Recharge Pits for Improving Local Groundwater Availability: Insights From a Hardrock Watershed in Rajasthan, India

open access: yesWorld Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Groundwater depletion is a major challenge in semiarid, hard‐rock regions where irrigation demands often exceed natural recharge. This study evaluates the effectiveness of farm‐scale recharge pits as a local, supplementary, and community‐managed groundwater recharge solution in the Dharta catchment of Rajasthan, India. Alongside check dams and

Artificial exposure to herbivore‐induced volatile organic compounds reduces herbivory and modulates gene expression in potato plants

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
These findings provide strong mechanistic evidence for VOCs mediating pest resistance and suggest that exposure to herbivore‐induced, plant‐derived VOCs can enhance pest resistance in potato crops. These results might offer novel information for developing ecologically sustainable plant volatile‐based strategies for boosting protection against pests in

Constructed value of information with iterative scoring and parametric uncertainty to identify management‐relevant research priorities for a declining raptor species

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Constructed value of information (CVoI) is an expert elicitation decision‐analytic tool used to prioritize sources of uncertainty based on their potential to improve decision outcomes if resolved. Despite increased application of CVoI, the robustness of CVoI prioritization of sources of uncertainty relative to differences in expert elicitation

Spatial identification of areas suitable for other effective area‐based conservation measures in the European Union

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Although significant biodiversity has been safeguarded by protected areas (PAs), biodiversity trends continue downward. Within the frameworks of the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 and the new EU Restoration Regulation (2024), conserving critical biodiversity areas is essential.
