A distributed large‐volume soil sampling approach to address spatial heterogeneity in eDNA data collection

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 1726-1734, June 2026.
Abstract Soil sampling for eDNA is a useful approach to assess ecological communities in specific locations, such as comparing community composition across different site treatments. However, species' dispersal abilities and habitat selection, among many other factors, drive the uneven distribution of organisms across the landscape. Thus, to accurately

Fluctuating asymmetry in spider‐hunting wasps as a possible indicator of stress in Brazilian Atlantic Forest landscapes Assimetria flutuante em vespas caçadoras de aranhas como possível indicador de estresse em paisagens da Mata Atlântica brasileira

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 558-569, June 2026.
Agricultural cover was positively associated with fluctuating asymmetry in Trypoxylon opacum, suggesting a possible increase in developmental instability in intensively managed landscapes. Wing size was positively related to forest cover and negatively related to agricultural cover, indicating that forested landscapes may promote larger body size ...

Joint social‐ecological outcomes of private land conservation: An evidence synthesis with a well‐being perspective

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1066-1084, May 2026.
Abstract Private land conservation (PLC) can contribute to sustainability by improving biodiversity and human well‐being but can also result in negative outcomes for people and nature if poorly designed. Informing PLC design to achieve objectives for joint biodiversity and well‐being is challenging because most evaluations assess ecological and social ...

Data gaps and heterogeneity limit our understanding of human–wildlife interactions: A continental study of Andean bears

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1499-1519, May 2026.
Abstract The expansion and intensification of human activities have increased interactions between people and wildlife. Interactions involving bears and other large carnivores are complex and can lead to conflicts. Promoting positive coexistence requires managing information, which is not always available.

Acclimatisation duration, not just release type, drives post‐release settlement in a large‐scale carnivore reintroduction programme

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Our study highlights that when acclimatisation periods are too short, the substantial economic and logistical investment in soft‐release protocols may fail to deliver the expected conservation gains. Therefore, defining evidence‐based acclimatisation periods that are long enough to promote settlement, yet compatible with logistical constraints, may ...

A new method to control the invasive sun corals (Tubastraea spp.): Underwater compressed‐air blasting

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.
Underwater compressed‐air blasting is a novel method developed to control invasive sun corals (Tubastraea spp.). The technique removes coral soft tissue without fragmenting colonies, reducing the risk of regeneration and accidental spread. This approach offers a safer and practical tool for managing invasive corals in natural reefs and biofouling ...

Environmental governance in the face of collapse: The case of Acapulco, Mexico, between tourist splendour and ecological risk

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.
Underwater clean‐up efforts in Acapulco Bay reveal the visible consequences of chronic coastal pollution. This study shows how Environmental Risk Assessments (ERAs) can integrate scientific evidence, regulatory frameworks and practitioner experience to identify pollution sources and guide more effective coastal governance in cities of the Global South.

‘Incoherence Is, in a Way, a Choice’: The Production of Policy Coherence at the Intersection of Uruguay's Agricultural, Environmental and Water Policies

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 365-384, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study explores the production of coherence between Uruguay's agricultural, environmental and water policies amidst growing tensions, which are particularly manifested in conflicts between an expanding agricultural sector and water insecurity for the broader public.

Differential effects of agricultural expansion on wild bee taxonomic and functional diversity

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 878-892, April 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Pollinators, especially bees, are in global decline, threatening biodiversity and food security. While intensive agriculture is a primary driver, its impact on bee functional diversity—particularly in the diverse Mediterranean region—remains understudied.
