Insights Into Spatial Orientation and Cognition in Tarantulas (Araneae: Theraphosidae) Under Natural Conditions, With Notes on Possible Ontogenetic Niche Shifts

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Cognitive studies on spiders have largely ignored mygalomorphs, such as tarantulas, and almost completely lack field‐based observations. We present nine observations of arboreal and fossorial New World tarantulas, including a blind cave‐dwelling species, providing evidence for possible experience‐based navigation and spatial learning during foraging ...

Evaluating Youth Participatory Action Research in the Americas: Comparative Insights on Empowerment, Methodologies, and Social Change

Journal of Adolescence, Volume 98, Issue 3, Page 698-723, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) positions adolescents as co‐researchers to investigate and address social issues affecting their lives. While YPAR has gained global prominence, comparative research examining how it is conceptualized and practiced across regional contexts remains limited.

Social transformation through community music projects: A scoping review

Review of Education, Volume 14, Issue 1, April 2026.
Abstract This article investigates the hypothesis that music can be a powerful catalyst for social transformation within specific territorial and social contexts. To explore this, a scoping review was conducted, aiming to identify the participants, networks and contexts described in the scientific literature on community music and to critically examine

Spatial overlap and temporal synchrony between guilds of insect hosts and parasitoids

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 4, Page 712-726, April 2026.
This study identified a spatial overlap between insect host guild richness and parasitoid richness. Species richness in parasitoid guilds always increased later in the season than richness of their host guilds. These findings suggest that shifts in climate and land‐use may alter the synchrony of insect trophic layers.

Landscape and local factors influence solitary bee nesting, but reported effects show little consistency across studies

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.
Collectively, these findings indicate that agri‐environment schemes aiming to support solitary bees should integrate the provision of nesting resources with proximity to floral resources. The heterogeneity among studies highlights the need for solitary bee conservation measures to be tailored to local conditions and to the local fauna.

Introducing TropiCam‐AI: A taxonomically flexible automated classifier of Neotropical arboreal mammals and birds from camera‐trap data

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 1235-1247, April 2026.
Abstract Rapid, accurate assessment of arboreal vertebrates in tropical forests remains a bottleneck for large‐scale biodiversity monitoring, due to the challenges and effort associated with traditional survey methods. To bridge this gap, arboreal camera‐trapping is emerging as a promising way to observe otherwise elusive species, opening new avenues ...
