Targeting RANKL Prevents Bone Loss, Improves Muscle Function and Extends Lifespan in Progeroid Mice

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 8, August 2026.
Targeting of RANKL by genetic and pharmacological approaches ameliorates key features of the progeroid phenotype in Zmpste24−/− mice. RANKL intervention restores bone mass, improves muscle phenotype, and extends survival. These findings support further exploration of RANKL‐targeted therapies for Hutchinson‐Gilford progeria syndrome.

Providing regular and frequent maps of losses and gains of farmland birds based on European monitoring data

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Knowledge of species distributions is essential for informing policies on nature conservation and restoration. However, updating them on a regular basis and doing so in a harmonized manner at the international level is difficult. The European Bird Census Council integrated national monitoring data covering 5 years to update farmland bird ...

The entanglement between the IUCN Red List and international biodiversity law

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species (red list) is of fundamental importance for nature conservation and biodiversity protection. I considered the interaction between the red list and international biodiversity law (IBL), the legal regime that aims to protect biodiversity at a global level ...

More pumas (Puma concolor) does not change perceptions: The mismatched response of ranchers to the presence of a top carnivore

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 7, Page 2148-2161, July 2026.
Abstract Human‐wildlife conflicts (HWCs) are one of the most critical conservation challenges worldwide. Large carnivores are frequently at the centre of these conflicts because of the perceived and real threats they pose to livestock and human safety.

First Non‐Invasive Monitoring of Fecal Steroids in Greater Caribbean Manatees (Trichechus manatus manatus)

Zoo Biology, Volume 45, Issue 4, Page 435-443, July/August 2026.
This study established the first fecal hormonal reference values (P4/E2) for the Greater Caribbean manatee. Using non‐invasive ELISA, the authors found no significant differences between mature and immature females, highlighting that long‐term monitoring and ultrasounds are essential to fully understand their complex reproductive cycles.

Herbaceous Plants in Forest Ecosystems: One Hundred Fundamental and Applied Questions

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aims Herbaceous plants (herbs) found in the understory of forests contribute substantially to the biodiversity of these ecosystems, as well as being important socio‐culturally, economically, and for advancing ecological theory. However, the ecology of herbs is less well understood compared with woody plants, despite evidence that herbs are ...

Calibration of the species threat abatement and restoration metric's threat abatement component in a Costa Rican landscape

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Achieving global conservation policy goals requires the ability to set and measure progress toward science‐based targets for biodiversity. The species threat abatement and restoration (STAR) metric was developed to enable actors to set science‐based targets for species.

“Humanizar”: aprendizajes sobre alteridad, salud y futuro en una experiencia de investigación compartida

The Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology, Volume 31, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The visit to Bogotá of a fééeneminaa (Muinane) friend, Célimo Nejedeka Jifichíu, and in particular, his work in researching and transmitting traditional health knowledge, offer the pretext to navigate the relationship between elements that at first glance seem distant from each other: indigenous imaginaries about otherness, their visions of ...

Genetic Diversity, Population Structure and Evidence of Genetic Bottleneck in Geoffroea decorticans (Fabaceae): Implications for Conservation

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
We documented genetic variation, population structure, and bottleneck signals in Geoffroea decorticans (Fabaceae) populations across the Atacama Desert and emphasize the urgency of genetic monitoring. Conservation plans should prioritize populations based on genetic information including those with low diversity, strong bottleneck signals and high ...
