Contemporary Management of Human‐Caused Hybridization in Mammals: A Review
Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 4, December 2026.By reviewing studies on human‐mediated (i.e., anthropogenic) hybridization, we identify key management gaps, including inconsistent identification of admixed individuals, limited population‐level assessments, insufficient social engagement, and unclear management objectives.

Defecation in preparation for ecdysis drives microplastic clearance in cricket nymphs
Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 562-574, December 2026.In preparation for ecdysis, cricket nymphs cease feeding and gradually clear their gut contents via frass production, which removes most ingested MPs from their digestive tract. Following exoskeletal moulting, the foregut lining, including any remaining MPs, is shed and excreted alongside frass approximately 6 h later.

Convective Vertical Velocities of Dust Devils in Gale Crater, Mars
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 21, 16 November 2026.Abstract Dust devils are believed to be a significant contributor to the martian global dust cycle, supplying as much as 50% of dust to the atmosphere annually. However, their in situ meteorological properties remain poorly known, specifically horizontal and vertical wind speeds.
