Little penguins select more isolated nest boxes for breeding, but lay date influences breeding success

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.
We determined that more isolated and possibly older nest boxes were selected by little penguins for breeding at Pōhatu/Flea Bay, New Zealand. However, breeding success was influenced by lay date in comparison to nest box characteristics. These findings inform immediate conservation recommendations regarding nest box design and placement.

Role of Oral Glucagon‐Like Peptide‐1 Receptor Agonists in Weight Management for Individuals With Overweight or Obesity Without Diabetes: A Network Meta‐Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Obesity Science &Practice, Volume 12, Issue 4, August 2026.
Oral glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (semaglutide, orforglipron, danuglipron, lotiglipron) produced 5%–12% weight loss, reduced BMI and waist circumference, and increased the proportion achieving ≥ 5–15% weight loss versus placebo in adults with overweight or obesity without diabetes, highlighting oral GLP‐1 RAs as effective adjuncts to ...

Spatio-Temporal Evolution and Driving Forces of Habitat Quality in China’s Arid and Semi-Arid Regions: An Interpretable Machine Learning Perspective for Ecological Management

Land
Against the global biodiversity crisis, arid and semi-arid regions are sensitive indicators of terrestrial ecosystems. However, research on their habitat quality (HQ) evolution mechanism faces dual challenges: insufficient multi-scale dynamic simulation ...

Between‐species contagion drives HPAI transmission and mass mortality in seabirds

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1488-1503, August 2026.
Modelling the unprecedented avian panzootic caused by High‐Pathogenicity Avian Influenza (HPAI) across the Northeast Atlantic gannet breeding metapopulation, we estimated 28% (95% CI: 21%–34%) HPAI‐related mortality. Large‐scale outbreak initiation was best explained by external infection sources, most likely, other seabird species.

Short‐Term Risk Stratification in Alcohol‐Associated Hepatitis: Small HDL Particles and Inflammation Vulnerability Index Values Improve Model for End‐Stage Liver Disease

Alcohol, Clinical and Experimental Research, Volume 50, Issue 8, August 2026.
Lower small HDL particles (S‐HDL‐P), the key component of the Inflammation Vulnerability Index, were associated with greater alcohol‐associated hepatitis (AH) severity and higher 90‐day AH‐related mortality. S‐HDL‐P improved Model for End‐Stage Liver Disease (MELD)‐based prognostic model fit, while IVX (inflammation vulnerability index) provided ...

Response‐adapted consolidation and salvage strategies in secondary central nervous system lymphoma: Insights from a multicentre cohort

British Journal of Haematology, Volume 209, Issue 2, Page 524-533, August 2026.
Summary Secondary central nervous system lymphoma (SCNSL) remains a rare but challenging manifestation of aggressive lymphomas, with limited prospective data to guide treatment decisions in the modern therapeutic era. We conducted a multicentre retrospective cohort study of 105 consecutively treated adult patients diagnosed with SCNSL between 2016 and ...

Community‐based social marketing is associated with shorebird responses along the U.S. Atlantic coast

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
We evaluated the biological effectiveness of community‐based social marketing (CBSM) campaigns designed to reduce human disturbance to shorebirds along the U.S. Atlantic coast. Using behavioral, point count, and nesting data from six species across five states, we found that campaigns encouraging beachgoers to walk around flocks, particularly when ...
