Photic Niche Explains Avian Behavioral Responses to Solar Eclipses
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.Most bird species—except for those that are adapted for activity under dim conditions—were less likely to vocalize during the maximum of a total solar eclipse, whereas an annular eclipse reaching only 90% solar obscuration did not lead to behavioral effects. ABSTRACT Solar eclipses rapidly alter abiotic conditions and thus represent natural experiments

Modeling stratified dispersal in forest pests: A case study of the mountain pine beetle in Alberta
Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Forest pests pose critical threats to forest ecosystems worldwide, yet accurately predicting their spatial spread remains challenging due to complex dispersal behaviors, weather effects, and the inherent difficulty of tracking small organisms across large landscapes.

Environmental Policy and Governance, Volume 36, Issue 1, Page 66-80, February 2026.ABSTRACT The loss of biodiversity presents one of the most pressing societal challenges of our time. Insects play a crucial role for biodiversity in terms of ecosystem services and food provision. Although insects receive increasing public and academic attention, the development of policy mixes for insect conservation remains challenging.

An improved manta ray foraging optimization algorithm
Scientific ReportsThe Manta Ray Foraging Optimization Algorithm (MRFO) is a metaheuristic algorithm for solving real-world problems. However, MRFO suffers from slow convergence precision and is easily trapped in a local optimal. Hence, to overcome these deficiencies, this

Erving Goffman at 100: A Chameleon Seen as a Rorschach Test within a Kaleidoscope
Symbolic Interaction, Volume 49, Issue 1, Page 3-47, February 2026.The 100th anniversary of Erving Goffman's birth was in 2022. Drawing on his work, the Goffman archives, the secondary literature, and personal experiences with him and those in his university of Chicago cohort, I reflect on some implications of his work and life, and the inseparable issues of understanding society.

Haptic Experiences Shift Students' Representational Gestures and Knowledge Resources
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, Volume 63, Issue 2, Page 138-160, February 2026.ABSTRACT The present investigation adopts an embodied cognition perspective to characterize students' learning interactions between gesture and haptic experience. Haptic technologies have emerged as a promising approach to science learning because they can simulate physical forces that students would otherwise not experience. Student‐generated gestures

From Standard to Bayesian: Revisiting Ocean Color Model Evaluation
Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Ocean color models, facilitated by satellite‐based remote sensing technologies, have transformed our ability to monitor chlorophyll‐a concentrations at the ocean's surface. These models decode changes in the spectral properties of reflected sunlight to map phytoplankton biomass across extensive spatial and temporal scales.
