Revitalizing Traditional Tank Systems: Case Study Insights From Sri Lanka's Village Tank Cascade Systems for Climate Resilience and Water Governance

open access: yesWorld Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Village tank cascade systems (VTCS) are a long‐established form of water management in Sri Lanka's dry zone. However, their role in groundwater recharge, climate adaptation, and water governance remains insufficiently recognized in policy and planning.

Movement decisions by black‐tailed godwit families with chicks in an intensively managed dairy farming landscape

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
These findings show that godwit family movements reflect active responses to habitat characteristics at and around their natal site. Our study emphasises the importance of implementing habitat‐improving measures and protecting not only sites within high‐density nesting areas but also the surrounding landscape.

Thresholds of facilitation and competition—Climate modulates the growth–density relationship in Quercus robur

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 8, August 2026.
In forestry, tree growth is strongly influenced by stand density. Using Nelder trials across a broad climatic gradient in Europe, the authors found that tree growth responds non‐linearly to density, with shifts from competition to facilitation and corresponding density thresholds.

Using customs data to understand overlooked trade in non‐CITES birds between Africa and Asia

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract The international trade in live birds poses risks to animals, people, and biodiversity. To effectively mitigate these risks, decision‐makers require information on the volume, dynamics, and direction of trade. Despite Africa once being the largest exporter of birds by region, very little data exist on recent trade in live birds not listed on ...

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 ...

Uncovering correlates of decline and critical refuges for a threatened terrestrial mammal

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Globally, the geographic ranges of numerous species are contracting. Identifying spatiotemporal patterns of threat impact can illuminate why species decline in some parts of their range but persist in others. We developed a correlative approach to identify species’ response thresholds and locate ecological refuge areas associated with ...

Measuring maternal line selection driven by differential survival in ex situ collections for plant conservation

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Ex situ plant collections may be increasingly needed to protect representative samples of threatened or rare species and provide plant material for conservation translocation. A primary problem in these ex situ collections is loss of intraspecific variation due to plant death. Different management actions would be required depending on whether

Aedes albopictus and Dengue Transmission Risk in France Over the 21st Century

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
We assessed the impacts of climate change on the range expansion of Ae. albopictus and the risk of dengue transmission in France by 2085. Most of the French territory will be suitable to host this vector, while more than half of the territory will be suitable for dengue transmission.

Legislating Uncertainty: Election Policies and the Amplification of Misinformation

open access: yesPolicy Studies Journal, Volume 54, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Can state election policies affect the spread of misinformation? This paper studies the role played by ballot processing policies, which determine when ballots can be examined and organized, in the online spread of political misinformation. We present evidence from the 2020 U.S.
