Genomic forecasting for climate‐resilient fruit trees

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 1640-1653, August 2026.
Genomic offset and required evolutionary changes under climatic shifts. Summary Fruit trees – long‐lived perennial crops cultivated for their edible fruits or nuts and frequently propagated clonally – are increasingly exposed to climate extremes that threaten their productivity and survival.

Global Data From Great Ape Zoo Populations Confirm a High Prevalence of Overweight Individuals

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 7, July 2026.
A global database reveals that a majority of great apes kept in zoos are overweight, likely as a result of the mismatch between their biology and their zoo diets. Corrective measures are necessary to reverse the situation and further improve the health and welfare of great apes in zoos.

Valuing Behavioral By‐Products: Evolutionary Significance of Neutrally Drifting and Exaptive Cultures in Primates

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 7, July 2026.
Structural, functional, and evolutionary links between two behavioral by‐products (i.e., stone play and female‐to‐female mounting—FFM) and their putative corresponding behavioral adaptations (i.e., stone tool use and female‐to‐male mounting—FMM) in Balinese long‐tailed macaques and Japanese macaques.

‘Far right just means anyone who wants to support British values’: Mobilizing ‘British values’ talk in discussions of the August 2024 UK race riots

British Journal of Social Psychology, Volume 65, Issue 3, July 2026.
Abstract Social psychological research has shown how far‐right leaders mobilize people by claiming that majority populations are threatened or silenced. This paper builds on this work to examine a related process in naturalistic interactions: how riotous actions are explained and justified through appeals to ‘British values’ in online forums.

The flexible, the stereotyped and the in‐between: putting together the combinatory tool use origins hypothesis

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1235-1254, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Tool use research has long made the distinction between tool using that is considered learned and flexible, and that which appears to be instinctive and stereotyped. However, animals with an inherited tool use specialisation can exhibit flexibility, while tool use that is spontaneously innovated can be limited in its expression and facilitated

Brain–Computer Interfaces: The Dawn of a New Era in Disease Treatment

Exploration, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
This study investigates the potential of brain–computer interface (BCI) technology in treating neuropsychiatric disorders, such as movement and communication barriers. Our review examines the history, signal paradigms, and diverse applications of BCI while also discussing ongoing research into novel materials and emerging technologies that offer ...

Growing trees on farms: Navigating the goals and values of farmers

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1615-1628, June 2026.
Abstract Agricultural landscapes represent critical contexts for advancing policy objectives related to tree cover expansion. This paper explores how farmers' values influence their willingness or ability to grow trees on farms. Research is based on 49 interviews and two focus groups with farmers in England and draws on two social science research ...

Population trends and variability within bird communities are amplified by intense land use

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 6, Page 1047-1058, June 2026.
We show that bird populations in farmland have stronger long‐term changes and are more variable around these changes than in woodland. Disentangling these two components of population stability helps understand the effects of anthropogenic pressures on wild communities.

‘Vitamins’, shortcuts, and athletic citizenship in Ethiopia and Cameroon: considering sporting ethics beyond biomedicine « Vitamines », courts‐circuits et citoyenneté sportive en Éthiopie et au Cameroun : l’éthique du sport, au‐delà de la biomédecine

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 32, Issue 2, Page 494-515, June 2026.
This article argues that the current way of thinking about ethics in sport in primarily biomedical terms, and in particular in terms of the presence of particular pharmaceutical substances, fails to account for broader notions of sporting ethics and fairness in the Global South.
