Lectotypifications and taxonomic changes in the holoparasitic Orobanchaceae

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Based on further extensive studies of specimens in various herbaria, lectotypes are designated for many taxa of holoparasitic Orobanchaceae. In particular, 47 names in the genera Boschniakia (incl. Xylanche), Cistanche, Orobanche, Phelipanche and Phelypaea are lectotypified.

Ecological examples of nonstationarity, nonlinearity and statistical interactions in dynamic structural equation models

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 8, Page 2510-2523, August 2026.
Abstract Ecologists are adapting structural causal modelling for spatial, phylogenetic and time‐series analysis. However, ecological extensions of path analysis and structural equation models (SEM) typically assume that interactions among variables are stationary, linear and additive, while ecological and evolutionary dynamics are often nonstationary ...

Providing regular and frequent maps of losses and gains of farmland birds based on European monitoring data

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Knowledge of species distributions is essential for informing policies on nature conservation and restoration. However, updating them on a regular basis and doing so in a harmonized manner at the international level is difficult. The European Bird Census Council integrated national monitoring data covering 5 years to update farmland bird ...

Surface and Boundary Corrections in Peridynamics Using Optimized Nodal Influence Weights

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 14, 30 July 2026.
ABSTRACT Peridynamics (PD), similarly to some other nonlocal continuum theories, exhibits truncated interaction horizons near free surfaces, cracks, and voids in bounded domains. This loss of neighbors causes artificial surface effects and inconsistencies in the derivative and energy operators that persist under discretization refinement, limiting PD ...

Traction Force Microscopy for Viscoelastic Substrates: A Semi‐Analytical Method

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 42, 28 July 2026.
A semi‐analytical viscoelastic traction force microscopy framework is introduced for quantifying time‐resolved cell tractions on flat finite‐thickness substrates. The method generalizes elastic traction force microscopy to Generalized Maxwell materials, identifies when elastic approximations remain valid and, when they do not, shows that inferred ...

Numerical Approach of a Porous Thermoelastic Problem With Microtemperatures and Fading Memory

open access: yesZAMM - Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics / Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, Volume 106, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT In this work, we study, from the numerical point of view, a porous thermoelastic problem with microtemperatures, where the thermal evolution is influenced by the history of both the temperature and microtemperatures. This leads to a coupled system of partial integro‐differential equations.

Assessing Translocation Success or Failure of the African Buffalo (Syncerus caffer) in Post‐War Mozambique Using Species Distribution Modelling

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 5, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Post‐war Mozambique provides a rare setting to evaluate ecological models of African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) translocation outcomes. Following severe declines caused by armed conflict, translocations were implemented to restore ecological functioning.

Little devils of Neotropical forests: A first molecular phylogeny of stygnid harvestmen with UCE‐museomics and a gigamatrix approach (Arachnida, Opiliones, Stygnidae)

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, July‐September 2026.
First family‐wide phylogenomic framework of Stygnidae using UCE‐museomics and a gigamatrix approach establishes a novel three‐subfamily classification, erecting the new subfamily Auraninae subfam. nov. Signatures of severe incomplete lineage sorting and short deep internodes suggest a rapid early‐burst Neotropical radiation, driving phylogenetic ...

The spread of non‐native species

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1197-1234, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

Cubic B-splines collocation method for a class of partial integro-differential equation

open access: yesAlexandria Engineering Journal, 2018
In this paper, a numerical method is proposed to estimate the solution of initial-boundary value problems for a class of partial integro-differential equations.
