Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.This study reveals how ecological disturbances reshape the structure and function of soil bacterial communities in kauri forests, which are critical for ecosystem resilience. By linking disturbance regimes to shifts in bacterial diversity and functional capacity, it highlights the wider effects of ecosystem disturbance on soil ecological function ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.We introduce ENHYDROSS, a new mechanistic model that uses optimal swimming speed and minimum cost of transport to estimate maximum dispersal distances and durations for vertebrates, enabling assessment of long‐distance oceanic dispersal potential. Applied to a range of extant and extinct animals, the model's estimates generally align with observed data;

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.By analyzing 277 anuran mitochondrial genomes, this study reconstructs a robust phylogeny for frogs and toads, tracing their origins to the Triassic and major radiations to the Cretaceous‐Neogene. The research identifies 58 distinct gene arrangement patterns, providing a novel evolutionary framework.

Evolution of Animal Parasitism in Nematodes of the Suborder Spirurina
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.This study reconstructs the evolutionary history of parasitism in Spirurina by integrating ancestral state reconstruction (ASR) with a comprehensive phylogenetic framework. Our analyses reveal clear patterns of hostswitching and major transitions in host associations, providing the first broad evolutionary perspective on parasitism within this group ...

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 1881-1902, April 2026.This work reveals the “C‐Y,” double “Y,” “π,” and “Y” fracture modes of thick, hard strata and their progressive breaking process (O‐F‐R/S mode), providing a theoretical basis for controlling strong ground pressure in deep mining. ABSTRACT In response to the dynamic hazards caused by the fracture of thick‐hard strata in deep mining, this study ...

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 4, April 2026.This study investigates coastal cliff dynamics at Demons Bluff, a 1.5 km stretch of soft Eocene–Oligocene marine sediments along the high‐energy southern coastline of Victoria, Australia (38.405°S, 144.204°E). Using a four‐year bi‐monthly time series of UAV‐derived Structure‐from‐Motion (SfM) point clouds (n = 29), we quantify spatial and temporal ...
