Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.This study focuses on the conservation of a rare butterfly in northwestern Italy threatened by woody encroachment. Using field data, topography, and remote sensing, we modelled habitat suitability and connectivity. A 0.6‐ha site was selected for restoration, illustrating how predictive models can guide targeted conservation actions.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 801-811, August 2026.Predation methods vary widely in their ability to quantify biological control. Estimating predation rates (the number of prey killed per predator per time unit) is crucial. Combining predation rates with predator abundance yields real‐time field estimates of pests consumed.

Aedes albopictus and Dengue Transmission Risk in France Over the 21st Century
Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.We assessed the impacts of climate change on the range expansion of Ae. albopictus and the risk of dengue transmission in France by 2085. Most of the French territory will be suitable to host this vector, while more than half of the territory will be suitable for dengue transmission.

Rare Caudal Regeneration Anomalies in Geckos Are Associated With Global Solar Radiation Gradients
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Morphological abnormalities may reduce fitness in wild animals, making them ecologically relevant for conservation efforts. Anomalies, such as a bifurcation or a trifurcation of a regenerated gecko tail, can change locomotion, social signalling, and predator evasion, with potential effects on survival and reproductive success.

Environmental Performance Indicators Used in Healthcare Foodservices: A Scoping Review
Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics, Volume 39, Issue 4, August 2026.ABSTRACT Background Healthcare foodservices are increasingly recognised as a key contributor to advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly through reducing greenhouse gas emissions, waste minimisation, and promotion of sustainable diets. This scoping review aimed to identify existing international evidence on environmental
