Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1735-1759, August 2026.
ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy

She Doesn't Whisper: Female‐Prominent Stridulation Shaped by Morphology in a Buthid Scorpion and Insights on Its Function

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 8, Page 533-543, August 2026.
Sexual dimorphism and stress‐induced stridulatory responses in Jaguajir rochae (Borelli, 1910). Females exhibited greater absolute pectinal size and higher sound pressure levels, whereas males showed higher pectinal allometric ratios relative to body size, lower sound frequencies, and shorter delta times.

Analysing the Ecological Requirements of the Australian Tortoise Beetle Trachymela sloanei (Blackburn, 1897) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) to Determine the Prospects for Its Invasion Process

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 7, Page 955-967, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Invasive species pose a serious threat to biodiversity and result in significant economic costs. Although much effort is devoted to understanding invasive processes, some aspects are poorly understood, such as the early stages of invasions and the reasons for invasion failure.

Neglected seed dispersers and research compartmentalisation: how much do we know about what we don't know?

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 3, Page 967-974, August 2026.
Geographic distribution of seed dispersal studies by disperser guild. Summary Seed dispersal is critical for long‐term ecosystem resilience. However, excessive compartmentalisation of research into particular disperser guilds (e.g. birds) hampers our understanding of their relative contributions to overall seed dispersal, risking erroneous conclusions ...

Biological legacies influence seedling survival and growth in post‐fire restoration of Patagonian Nothofagus pumilio forests

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.
In post‐fire subantarctic forests of Torres del Paine National Park, nucleation‐based reforestation of Nothofagus pumilio was evaluated over 5 years to assess how the identity, proximity, and lateral coverage of biological legacies influence seedling survival and growth.

Presencia de visón americano (Neovison vison, Schreber 1777) en Chiloé, Chile: ¿inicio de una invasión biológica?

Ecosistemas, 2015
El visón americano fue introducido en Chile en la década de 1930 y actualmente presenta una amplia distribución geográfica. Sin embargo, no se han reportado poblaciones establecidas en muchos sistemas insulares.

Atomic Layer Deposition Processes: Versatile Platforms for Engineering ZnO‐Chitosan Biointerfaces

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 26, 10 July 2026.
Vapour phase metalation (VPM), multiplied pulsed vapour phase infiltration (MPI), and O2 plasma‑enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) tailor Zn–chitosan (Zn‑CS) films. PEALD improves wettability and biocompatibility. MPI enhances semiconductor behavior. Antiseptic selectivity: VPM → E. coli; MPI → H. pylori.
