A Comprehensive First Baseline for Marine Litter Characterization in the Madeira Archipelago (NE Atlantic)

, 2020
Marine litter is currently worldwide distributed, and plastic is its principal component. Nevertheless, to date, little is known about how this global threat is affecting the marine coastal areas of the Madeira archipelago (NE Atlantic).

Sentipensar [Feel‐Thinking] Cultivates Collective Scientific Sensemaking and Worldbuilding Within and Beyond Ecological Despair

Science Education, Volume 110, Issue 6, Page 1596-1612, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Educating youth about environmental and climate justice is crucial in realizing a sustainable and flourishing future. Yet this can be challenging given the intense eco‐emotions youth experience and express while learning about these consequential realities and their implications.

A Hidden Dimension of Caribbean Reptile Ecology: First Documentation on Nesting Behavior in a Pholidoscelis Species

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 6, November 2026.
Our first assessment of Pholidoscelis erythrocephalus nesting behavior indicates this species creates complex communal nesting sites. Considering the novelty of our nesting data for a Pholidoscelis species, this new knowledge aids our understanding of the reproductive ecology, biodemographics, and conservation of this widely distributed genus ...

Photo‐Switchable Molecular Module Programming PET Biodegradation in Aquatic Environments

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 84, 19 October 2026.
We address the plastic durability paradox by integrating an itaconic acid–derived pyrrolidone module into polymer backbones. Sunlight in water triggers Norrish Type I ring‐opening and hydrophilization, enabling rapid biodegradation into nontoxic minerals.

A machine learning-based detection, classification, and quantification of marine litter along the central east coast of India

Frontiers in Marine Science
Globally, the growth of plastic production has increased exponentially from 1.5 million metric tons (Mt) in 1950 to 400.3 Mt in 2022, resulting in a substantial increase of marine litter along the coastal region. Presently, there is a growing interest in

Trait‐Mediated Seed Predation and Dispersal Are Regulated by Seed Abundance for Sympatric Tree Species in the Qinling Mountains, China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
We examined the effects of seed traits, seed abundance and seasonality on rodent‐mediated seed predation and dispersal of three sympatric oaks in the Qinling Mountains, China. Rodents consistently preferred Quercus variabilis seeds for caching, while Quercus glandulifera seeds were mostly consumed in situ.

Snail Inventories for Short‐Term Impacts: Methodological Differences and Their Underlying Causes

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
This study investigates the effects of including fresh empty shells in terrestrial gastropod community surveys and evaluates the resulting bias by combining field data, laboratory experiments and population modelling. We found that incorporating fresh empty shells can mask short‐term changes in community composition and introduce species‐specific ...

Habitat Type and Disturbance Intensity Are Associated With Invasive Plant Community Structure Across an Urbanizing Subtropical Island

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
This study investigated invasive plant communities across a disturbance gradient in Hengqin, China, to evaluate how habitat characteristics and seasonal variation influence community assembly. The findings indicate that habitat type and its associated disturbance regimes are the primary predictors of invasive distribution, accounting for 58.9% of ...

Insect communities of late Pleistocene steppe–tundra and Holocene boreal forest ecosystems in central Yukon Territory, Canada

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 7, Page 1178-1199, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Subfossil insect communities from the Quartz Creek site provide a detailed record of both Late Pleistocene steppe–tundra and Holocene boreal forest ecosystems in central Yukon Territory, Canada. Fifteen Pleistocene assemblages (marine isotope stages [MIS] 4 to 2) are dominated by steppe–tundra and dry‐tundra taxa, particularly the weevils ...
