Serosurveillance of Leishmania infantum in Zoo‐Kept Animals in Spain

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 1, Page 65-73, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Leishmaniosis is a sand fly‐borne zoonosis mainly caused by Leishmania infantum in Europe. Exposure to this protozoan has been widely reported in many domestic and wild species. However, epidemiological surveys evaluating the circulation of L. infantum in zoo‐kept animals remain limited. This large‐scale study aims to evaluate the

Forest patches as stepping stones: evidence from invertebrate taxonomic and functional diversity in experimentally created water‐filled tree holes

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Tree‐related microhabitats (TreMs), such as water‐filled tree holes (WTHs), are important structures for forest biodiversity, providing habitats for many specialized species, which are however impaired by the intensive forest management of the past. Strategies to maintain and promote TreMs in managed forests, e.g.

Multi‐species productive grasslands offer advantages over permanent grasslands for arthropod conservation, but preserving semi‐natural grasslands remains essential

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
SNGs remain irreplaceable for arthropod conservation, supporting the highest gamma diversity and providing habitat for species sensitive to high LUI. They should be regarded as the cornerstone of arthropod conservation in agricultural landscapes. MSPGs represent an improved alternative to PGs, particularly by enhancing floral resources, although their ...
