Disentangling conservation asymmetries through socio‐economic transboundary factors across the Alto Paraná Atlantic Forest of South America

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1328-1348, May 2026.
Abstract Ecoregions are often defined based on homogeneous biophysical and ecological conditions and are optimal spatial units for designing conservation strategies. However, transboundary ecoregions such as the Alto Paraná Atlantic Forest (APAF) experience asymmetrical conservation outcomes, understood here as cross‐border differences, resulting from ...

Suspendable and Scalable Ultrasound‐Actuated ZnO‐Nanosheet‐Based Piezoelectric Microdevices for Wireless Electrical Stimulation of Cells

Small, Volume 22, Issue 26, 8 May 2026.
Silicon microtechnology enables the scalable fabrication of cytocompatible microdevices for wireless electrical stimulation. Microdevices smaller than a cell allow accurate interaction with single cells. By integrating piezoelectric nanostructures that can be actuated by ultrasound within the biomedical range, remote electrical cell stimulation is ...

Role of Anharmonicity and Bimetallic Intermixing in the IR and Raman Spectra of Cun$_{n}$ and Pdn$_{n}$Cu6−n$_{6-n}$ Clusters (n<7$n\lt 7$). Ab Initio Benchmarking of DFT

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2026.
High‐level ab initio and density functional theory calculations reveal a structural and spectroscopic transition from pla nar Cu6 to three‐dimensional Pd6, whose lowest energy triplet state undergoes a Jahn‐Teller distortion. This evolution from molecule‐like to metal‐like bonding produces distinct infrared and Raman fingerprints, providing reliable ...

Temporal dynamics in functional fruit traits of native and invasive fleshy fruited plants in subtropical Andean forests

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1221-1232, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Fruits encompass the energetic and material flow between both interacting parties in frugivore‐mediated seed dispersal. Since fruit traits matter in frugivores' foraging decisions, the temporal dynamics of fruit traits might influence interaction outcomes.

On traits matching and the modular organization of food web and occurrence networks

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 5, Page 837-850, May 2026.
What mechanisms shape ecological networks? In Paraná River piscivores, species traits and abundance scaling promote modular structures. Our findings reveal how communities self‐organize and highlight the conditions needed to sustain them. Abstract Modularity and nestedness have been observed recurrently across different ecological networks, including ...

‘Come on, Give Me the Pills Now’: A Narrative Analysis of Reproductive Agency in Self‐Managed Abortion in Argentina

Sociology of Health &Illness, Volume 48, Issue 4, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Recent discussions on self‐managed abortion highlight its potential to reduce risks and delays while supporting reproductive rights. This qualitative paper analyses the stories of 12 women who self‐managed their abortions in Argentina. In‐depth interviews were conducted in April and May 2024. Using a framework of reproductive agency, the paper

BIEN: A biodiversity informatics ecosystem advancing open and reproducible workflows for plant observation, plot and trait data

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1556-1584, May 2026.
Abstract The rapid expansion of biodiversity data presents new opportunities to understand and forecast biosphere dynamics. However, disparate and dispersed data, taxonomic and geographic inconsistencies, pervasive quality issues, and a lack of reproducable workflows hinder synthesis, introduce biases and limit accurate assessment of biodiversity ...

Folding, misfolding, and regulation of intracellular traffic of G protein‐coupled receptors involved in the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis

Andrology, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 978-991, May 2026.
Abstract Background G protein‐coupled receptors are a large and functionally diverse family of membrane receptors involved in a number of biological processes. Like other proteins, G protein‐coupled receptors need to be properly folded in order to traffic to the plasma membrane and interact with agonist.

Exploring Pathways to the Persistence of Community Engagement in Co‐Management Across Social‐Ecological Conditions

Conservation Letters, Volume 19, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Evaluating sustained community engagement in co‐management is critical for designing durable governance with conservation potential, yet such persistence remains rarely assessed. We analyze 750 co‐management initiatives established under Chile's Territorial Use Rights for Fishing policy (1998–2021), examining persistence across conditions ...

May I pick your brain? Local minds as living cadastres in a Portuguese eleventh‐century lawsuit

Early Medieval Europe, Volume 34, Issue 2, Page 231-253, May 2026.
In the context of a dispute with the monastery of Lorvão, in the late eleventh century, the monks of Vacariça, near Coimbra (modern Portugal), carried out a field enquiry in the village of Recardães. This was part of a failed attempt to repossess a number of land plots that they claimed were theirs, but had lost control of.
