High Early Embryo Mortality and Low Hatching Success Observed in Aldabra Giant Tortoise Populations

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
This preliminary study provides the first population‐level assessment of fertilisation and hatching success in the Aldabra giant tortoise across natural and translocated populations in Seychelles, revealing low and highly variable hatching success—particularly in translocated populations.

Mechanisms of Movement Patterns: Physiology and Sex Influence Gopher Tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) Movement

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study tested physiological mechanisms of movement patterns in Gopher Tortoises (Gopherus polyphemus) by using autonomous GPS loggers. Total distance traveled, but not home range area, was physiologically limited. Females traveled the same distance as males, but had smaller home range areas, which challenges traditional understanding of sex‐based ...

Modeling long‐term population viability to inform recovery of a functionally extinct urban Blanding's turtle population

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 5, July 2026.
We used a population viability analysis to evaluate the influence of headstarting on recovery of the Rouge National Urban Park Blanding's turtle population. Completing the remaining 12 years of the 20‐year headstarting program is projected to approximately double population size relative to no further supplementation.

What No Research Means: The Problematic of Time and Possibilities for Expansiveness in Interpretive Literacy Research

open access: yesReading Research Quarterly, Volume 61, Issue 3, July/August/September 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines what becomes possible for interpretive literacy research when time is treated not as a neutral backdrop but as a central problematic. We argue that research does not merely trace temporal sequences; it actively creates temporalities that shape what becomes sensible, thinkable, and sayable within literacy studies.

Exploring the Impact of Polystyrene Microplastic Beads on Male Gonads of the Marine Mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, Volume 41, Issue 7, Page 379-394, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Plastic, with its remarkable versatility and numerous applications, has greatly benefited humanity. However, its extreme resistance to natural degradation means it persists in the environment for long periods, causing global environmental problems.
