Drivers of bat researchers’ intent to adopt field hygiene practices

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Infectious disease is a growing threat to wildlife, with zoonotic transmission most likely at the human–wildlife interface. One underappreciated activity at this interface is fieldwork with wild animals, but associated risks can be mitigated through field hygiene (FH) practices, such as using personal protective equipment and other appropriate

Exploring legal‐ and health‐risk messaging to reduce demand for elephant skin

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) are poached for an illegal trade in their skins, which are used in traditional medicine in Africa and Asia. We explored whether messages about the legal and health risks of using elephant skin for medicinal purposes (stomach illness) could reduce such consumption.

Topics as Outcomes: Modeling the Influence of Intergovernmental Grants on Policy Diffusion

Policy Studies Journal, Volume 54, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Intergovernmental grants stimulate the diffusion of policy reforms, as the federal government provides states with a financial incentive to adopt policies aligned with federal priorities. Less is known about the extent to which these grants also stimulate horizontal diffusion across states.

Use of species’ responses to cryptic anthropogenic disturbances for monitoring biodiversity outcomes in tropical forests

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Measuring area‐based conservation outcomes in tropical forests is challenging due to cryptic human disturbances (e.g., hunting). As a result, comparative studies of management strategies providing quantitative outcomes remain scarce, especially in the Neotropics.

Forest structure and connectivity drive the functional recovery of seed rain

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
Local forest structure and landscape‐scale connectivity shape distinct but complementary pathways of the functional recovery of seed rain in tropical forests. Structural complexity promotes functionally diverse plant–frugivore interactions locally, while connectivity facilitates the arrival of late‐successional seeds from external sources.

Coalition Opportunity Structures and Advocacy Coordination in Consensus and Majoritarian Democracies

Policy Studies Journal, Volume 54, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Research on advocacy coalitions suggests that belief homophily—the tendency of actors to coordinate based on shared policy beliefs—drives coalition formation. However, coalition opportunity structures, which are shaped by institutional contexts, may influence the extent to which belief homophily matters.
