Disaster Schooling Experiences and Emergent Crises: Lessons From Puerto Rico

open access: yesAnthropology &Education Quarterly, Volume 57, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the disaster schooling experiences of Puerto Rican educators, families, and students across multiple crises following Hurricane Maria. Drawing on 11 months of ethnographic research, we analyze how schooling unfolded across disasters and how long‐standing vulnerabilities and structural inequalities shaped responses. Findings

From Crisis to Resilience: Rethinking Urban Flooding and Groundwater Recharge in Bengaluru City, India

open access: yesWorld Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Bengaluru, a primary metropolitan centre in India, is currently grappling with the dual crises of urban flooding and severe groundwater depletion. These challenges are driven by rapid urbanization, which has seen built‐up areas increase from 42% to 86% over two decades, resulting in a dramatic loss of vegetation and wetlands.

Long‐term changes in functional diversity and its implications for mammalian conservation and ecological restoration in a grassland ecosystem

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2379-2391, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Paleontological data provide information on natural environments prior to human influence, which are useful for tracking changes in ecosystem functioning through time. During the Late Pleistocene, about 10% of terrestrial mammalian species were extinct in South America.

Structured machine learning modeling to support conservation of deep‐sea benthic biodiversity

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Biodiversity monitoring programs need to deliver accurate, timely, and actionable predictions. To establish a predictive monitoring program for deep‐sea benthos of the Santos Basin, Brazil, we developed a two‐stage structured model that allowed comparison of biodiversity predictions obtained from environmental simulations (2M‐Sim).

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

open access: yesConservation 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 ...

Reconsidering the role of introduced species in the climate‐affected and highly invaded eastern Mediterranean

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Bioinvasions are considered mostly as a biodiversity and conservation hazard, but in specific situations, introduced species can bring ecological or socioeconomic benefits. We assessed the social–ecological role of marine introduced species in the eastern Mediterranean Sea—a global hotspot of bioinvasions and extirpations—and their potential ...
