Nest Counts of Kororā/Little Penguins on Horomaka/Banks Peninsula, New Zealand
New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 1, March 2026.To better understand the population trends of kororā/little penguins (Eudyptula minor), the Horomaka/Banks Peninsula Kororā Survey of nesting colonies was conducted across two consecutive breeding seasons (November–January 2020/2021 and 2021/2022). Due to the number of sites and time requirements, volunteers were recruited to search 89 breeding sites ...

The cytokinesis regulator RacGAP1 is a Rac1‐specific GAP on membranes
Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Rho family small GTPases are essential for cytokinesis completion. RacGAP1, a dimeric multidomain protein with a lipid‐binding C1 domain and a GTPase‐activating protein (GAP) domain, is a major regulator in this process. However, despite many cellular and biochemical studies, whether RhoA or Rac1 is the actual substrate inactivated by RacGAP1 ...

Peck or pass? Individual‐level testing of a bird‐repellent seed coating
Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 3, Page 2333-2339, March 2026.Using sequential unique‐choice tests on an urban population of ringed carrion crows, we show that black pepper oleoresin‐treated maize seeds were avoided, while color alone had no deterrent effect. Abstract Background Carrion crows (Corvus corone) are a major depredating species of spring crops across European agroecosystems, especially during sowing ...
