Pesticide Contamination in the Hair of Children From Colonia San Juan, a Rural Community in Paraguay

open access: yesDrug Testing and Analysis, Volume 18, Issue 3, Page 354-369, March 2026.
Hair analysis in children from a rural community in Paraguay reveals exposure to organophosphates, pyrethroids, neonicotinoids, fungicides, herbicides, and endocrine disruptors, highlighting the urgent need for stricter environmental protections and preventive health measures. ABSTRACT Chronic exposure to pesticides can cause carcinogenic, reproductive,

Anthropogenic Infrastructures Shape Brown Bear Movements in Human‐Modified Landscapes

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Human activities are major drivers of changes in animal behaviour, resulting in diverse spatial and temporal activity patterns across species. In this study, we analysed telemetry data from brown bears in Finland, Slovakia and Romania, to compare how human infrastructure influences their movement behaviour.

Predation Risk Does Not Delay Breeding but Reduces Nest Survival in High‐Arctic Shorebirds

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We assessed the impact of arctic foxes' predation pressure on two sympatric sandpiper species. Fox activity influenced the breeding ecology of both sandpipers, with earlier nest initiations and lower nest survival rates in areas of high fox activity. ABSTRACT Understanding predator–prey interactions is crucial for correctly answering many fundamental ...

Metabarcoding Analysis Reveals Microbial Diversity and Its Environmental Drivers in the Pantanos de Villa Lagoons in Lima—Peru

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study characterized, for the first time, the microbial diversity in four lagoons of the Pantanos de Villa Wildlife Refuge in Lima, Peru, using 16S rRNA marker gene metabarcoding and identified the physicochemical drivers that influence the microbial community structure of these lagoons.

Predicted Relative Occupancy Probability of Raccoon Dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) in Northeast Beijing Using Bayesian Occupancy Models

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We assessed raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) occupancy in northeast Beijing using camera‐trap data. Occupancy was higher in nature reserves and northern areas, but declined with increasing human population and minor road densities, highlighting the impact of anthropogenic pressures.

Monitoring Zoo Elephant Rumble Activity Using Combined Seismic and Acoustic Data

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
At the Opel‐Zoo in Germany, we studied elephant rumble activity by recording low‐frequency signals with seismic and infrasound sensors. We detected over 1350 rumbles within 4 weeks that show temporal patterns, demonstrating the benefits of combining both sensing methods.

Adaptive responses to environmental variability in rotifers: Integrating plasticity and bet hedging in dormancy exit

open access: yesEcology, Volume 107, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Environmental variability imposes strong selective pressures that may favor adaptive responses such as phenotypic plasticity and bet hedging. Plasticity is generally favored under predictable conditions, whereas bet hedging is advantageous against environmental uncertainty. Plastic responses rely on reliable cues to adjust phenotypes to future
