The “regime shift extinctions” hypothesis and mass extinction of waterbirds in Hawaiʻi

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Studies of biodiversity loss commonly imply that species extinctions occurred as a direct result of initial human arrival and thus are attributable to stewardship failures of Indigenous Peoples. However, recent studies have suggested this assumption is not supported by the evidence, prompting a global reevaluation of existing assumptions.

Introduced wild pigs affect the foraging ecology of a native predator as both prey and scavenger

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Introduced species can disrupt trophic interactions by acting as novel predators, prey, or scavengers. Predicting the impacts of these disruptions can be integral to the conservation of native species and the maintenance of ecological function, but is challenging, especially for species involved in multiple trophic interactions.

Integrating refugia modeling and decision science to support climate‐adaptive conservation in the Sierra Nevada

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract To reduce detrimental impacts of anthropogenic change, natural resource managers often look for place‐based solutions to minimize biodiversity loss. Climate‐change refugia, areas buffered from contemporary climate change, can enable the persistence of valued natural resources and prolong the benefits of conservation action.

Stress Nutrition in Aquatic Animals: From Definition to Practice

open access: yesReviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aquaculture faces numerous challenges, with stress being one of the major issues that lead to growth loss, metabolic disorders, weakened immunity, redox imbalance, and organ damage in aquatic animals. Nutritional intervention is one of the effective strategies to address these problems. Traditional research has primarily focused on the impacts
