Management practices, local habitat features, and landcover associated with carabid and scarab beetle occupancy and abundance in restored Black Belt grasslands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Grassland restoration and conservation is necessary to retain ecosystem services and biodiversity. Insects are ecologically important yet often not the focus of restoration. Beetles in the family Carabidae (carabids) are frequently studied after restoration, but the effects of grassland restoration on beetles in the family Scarabaeidae (scarabs) have ...

Are the Australian Dietary Guidelines Fit for Purpose for Culturally Diverse Populations? A Qualitative Study

Health Promotion Journal of Australia, Volume 37, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Issue Addressed Migration is globally recognised as a determinant of health. The transition for culturally diverse communities towards adopting diets that align with dietary recommendations of their host country is not without complexities. With over one‐quarter of Australia's population being born overseas, this research explores whether the ...

Assessment of High Throughput Sequencing Quality of Host DNA Enriched From Faeces: A Case From Captive Tiger

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Faeces serve as a widely used non‐invasive material in wildlife studies, from which host DNA can be enriched for high‐throughput sequencing. However, the characteristics of faecal DNA sequencing, particularly the relationship between sequencing volume and genotyping accuracy or genomic coverage, have remained unclear.

Disentangling the meat paradox: A comparative review of meat‐related conflicts across dietary behaviours

British Journal of Social Psychology, Volume 65, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract A growing field of research examines how people experience and resolve cognitive conflicts in their behaviours, particularly in relation to meat consumption. Despite the alleged importance of conflict in behaviour change, most research focuses on how conflict motivates individuals to change or maintain their conflicted behaviour but disregards

New perspectives on head and neck allometry and ecomorphology in tetrapods

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 665-694, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The skull and neck are vital parts of the body, influencing feeding ecology, habitat exploitation and locomotion. Numerous studies have therefore sought to understand how the size of these segments vary with ecology and scale with overall body size.

Seasonality as a structuring factor of the dung beetle community in burned neotropical savannas

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 336-345, April 2026.
We tested the effects of fire, vegetation cover and seasonality on dung beetle communities, focusing on species richness, composition and co‐occurrence patterns in savannas. Fire did not affect species richness. However, seasonality was the dominant factor influencing species composition, followed by fire and vegetation cover.

The role of habitat simplification and seasonality in shaping interactions between ants, plants and herbivores in a neotropical savanna

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 381-394, April 2026.
We evaluated how chronic anthropogenic disturbances (CAD) and seasonal variation influence interactions between ants and plants with extrafloral nectaries (EFN's), with emphasis on the responses of ants, herbivores, and plants. Ant and herbivore diversity remained stable across seasons in the preserved cerrado, whereas the pasture had higher ant ...

Seasonal Variation of δ13C and δ15N in a Boreal Lake Fish Community—Year‐Round Patterns and Explanatory Variables

Ecology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 35, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Seasonal changes in freshwater ecosystems influence fish resource use through both environmental and biological factors, but year‐round studies that include ice‐covered months have been lacking. We investigated seasonal variation in the stable isotope ratios of carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) using year‐round monthly sampling of the fish ...
