Density‐dependent habitat selection in plains bison

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 5, July 2026.
Using GPS collar data, we tested whether habitat selection of plains bison in Grasslands National Park, Canada, was density dependent. Bison selected for areas of high vegetation productivity far from human activity when population density was low and increased use of lower productivity habitat closer to disturbance as density increased.

Diel dynamics of zooplankton fecal pellet flux revealed by integrated in situ imaging observations and modeling

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2026.
Abstract The contribution of sinking fecal pellets to the biological carbon pump depends on pellet properties, producer abundance, and the depth and timing of pellet production, which can be modulated by diel vertical migration. We examined diel variability in zooplankton fecal pellet flux in the subarctic Northeast Pacific using two image‐based tools:

Influence of Alkaline Earth Barium on the Microstructure, Corrosion Behavior, and Cytocompatibility of Biodegradable Zinc

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Biodegradable Zn‐based alloys are promising candidates for temporary implants, yet excessive Zn2+ release during degradation may induce cytotoxicity and adverse tissue responses. In this study, Zn‐xBa alloys (x = 0.1 wt%, 0.5 wt%, 1.0 wt% and 3.0 wt%) were developed to achieve controlled corrosion behaviors with improved biocompatibility.

Non‐random species loss weakens functional diversity and species asynchrony, destabilizing grassland communities

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 7, July 2026.
Our findings demonstrate that grassland community stability is shaped more by the order of loss of species than by the total number of species lost and how these losses reorganize stabilizing processes. To maintain grassland stability under global change, conservation efforts should consider species' functional roles and extinction drivers, because ...

Kelp forests modulate fish community dynamics and responses to ocean warming

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 7, July 2026.
Our spatially resolved benchmark indicates that abundant kelp cover can delay tropicalisation by lowering the realised thermal affinity of reef‐fish communities, while increases in fish biodiversity may signal the early stages of this process. Abstract Kelp forests are foundation habitats that create structurally complex and biodiverse marine ...
