Rethinking Environmental Impact Assessment for nature positive development

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 24, Issue 8, October 2026.
Achieving “nature positive” development within existing regulatory frameworks will be challenging. Halting and reversing biodiversity loss requires protection, restoration, and enhancement of ecosystems alongside a fundamental shift in how biodiversity is valued and quantifiable improvements are assessed.

Modification of the Madeira River morphology following large hydropower projects detected by satellite data

River, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 369-387, August 2026.
Abstract Estimating suspended sediment concentration (SSC) in river channels is essential for understanding hydro‐sedimentological processes, managing water quality, and conserving aquatic ecosystems. This study evaluated different empirical equations to estimate SSC in the lower Madeira River and analyzed its hydro‐sedimentary dynamics based on MODIS ...

Stable Bacterial Cores and Patchy Eukaryotic Communities Shape the Summer Microbiomes of Patagonian Fjord Ecosystems Across Spatial, Functional and Temporal Gradients

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 5, October 2026.
Our study shows that microbial community diversity in Patagonian fjords varies with glacial influence and salinity, with a widespread bacterial core but a patchier eukaryotic core. Distinct co‐occurrence networks and marked short‐term community shifts occur in water‑ versus land‐terminating glacier fjords, underscoring meltwater influence in this ...

Evaluating the use of taxonomy in the IUCN Red List

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Taxonomy defines the units that conservationists strive to preserve for future generations. However, the discovery of new species and the taxonomic revision of existing species affect conservation efforts. Despite the importance of taxonomy for a species’ conservation, there is currently no overview of how those leading species extinction risk

Insights for conservation from the Ecological Knowledge Games project

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Environmental conservation research requires robust methods for collecting large‐scale behavioral data and engaging diverse stakeholders in decision‐making processes. We (Y.P., A.B.D., and N.B.) created EcoKnowGames (Ecological Knowledge Games), a transdisciplinary project that develops knowledge games for conservation science and data ...

Risks of concealing environmental degradation

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Current practice seeks to conceal the visual impact of land‐use change (i.e., development). Six percent of development impact assessments in Australia and 14% of the World Bank's assessments recommend visual impact mitigation. This mitigation results in, for example, vegetated buffer strips alongside cleared agricultural areas and earthen ...

Fine‐scale genetic structure in co‐operatively breeding Palmchats (Dulus dominicus) suggests mixed kinship in compound nests

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 4, Page 1378-1390, October 2026.
Fine‐scale genetic structure in animal populations can create opportunities for both kin‐directed co‐operation and kin competition. Knowledge of kinship is therefore key to understanding the selective pressures shaping sociality as well as the effects of social behaviour on local genetic structure.

Análisis de la disponibilidad de hábitat adecuado para el lobo (Canis lupus) en Cataluña y en los Pirineos orientales

Pirineos: Revista de Ecología de Montaña, 2015
Después de décadas de ausencia del lobo (Canis lupus) en los Pirineos, desde finales de los años noventa se han detectado algunos ejemplares solitarios en el sector oriental de la Cordillera.

Expanding the Fish‐Brain Invitrome With the Senegalese Sole SsB‐1 Cell Line—A Versatile Model for Neurotropic Virus Research

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 49, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Cell lines are essential tools for studying animal physiology and immunopathology, reducing the use of live animals and supporting the 3Rs principle of reduction, refinement, and replacement. The Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis), a relevant species for Spanish aquaculture diversification, lacks established in vitro models. We developed SsB‐

Influence of Diadema antillarum populations (Echinodermata: Diadematidae) on algal community structure in Jardines de la Reina, Cuba

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2011
The 1983-1984 mass mortality of Diadema antillarum produced severe damages on Caribbean reefs contributing to substantial changes in community structure that still persist.
