Fruit use and fruit processing by euphonias, specialized avian frugivores

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.
Euphonias (Neotropical passerines in the genera Euphonia and Chlorophonia) form the quintessential example of a specialized avian frugivore, combining a high reliance on fruit as food and the restriction of fruit taxa exploited. To understand their specialization, we explored the integration of fruit morphological and nutritional traits with their ...

Assessing terrestrial vertebrates as potential biodiversity indicators of ecosystem services in multifunctional landscapes

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 9, Page 3015-3033, September 2026.
Abstract Combining ecosystem services and biodiversity conservation is critical for evaluating the benefits of nature to society. However, research gaps have led to a conservation dilemma in determining which biodiversity groups should be selected in ecosystem service assessments.

Lipodystrophy and adipose tissue recovery are mediated by the Wnt/lipogenesis axis during skin fibrosis

open access: yesThe Journal of Pathology, Volume 270, Issue 1, Page 98-113, September 2026.
Abstract Acquired lipodystrophy in the dermal white adipose tissue (DWAT) is an early phenotype of skin fibrosis, followed by the accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM). Lipodystrophy syndromes are estimated to affect 1 in 20,000 people and are associated with metabolic comorbidities.

An interdisciplinary review of the interplay of conflict, socio‐economic factors, and land cover and vegetation dynamics in Colombia

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1533-1549, September 2026.
Colombia's forests play a crucial role in preserving biodiversity and mitigating climate change, but they are currently facing severe degradation, particularly after the 2016 Peace Agreement. Our literature review highlights a growing research interest in this topic and demonstrates how interdisciplinary approaches combining diverse methods can enhance

Open letter: The need for a site‐based biodiversity standard measuring and certifying impacts from nature‐based projects

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1394-1402, September 2026.
Despite growing investment in restoration, weak accountability and poor biodiversity monitoring mean many projects fail to achieve ecological recovery. The Global Biodiversity Standard (TGBS) offers a practical way to ensure that restoration finance delivers measurable gains for nature.

Isotopic evidence for the consumption of Galliformes by the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) in rural southern England

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 5, September 2026.
Anthropogenic resource subsidies can drive mesopredator population growth, altering predator–prey dynamics. The red fox Vulpes vulpes is a generalist canid that can readily exploit such subsidies. In the UK, tens of millions of pheasants Phasianus colchicus and red‐legged partridges Alectoris rufa are released annually for sport shooting, potentially ...

Reconstructing Along‐Strike Variability of Retreating Accretionary Margins Using Detrital Isotopic Proxies in Patagonia and Japan

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Retreating accretionary systems are common features of convergent plate margins. They are characterized by upper plate extension and backarc basin formation, which often forms diachronously and asymmetrically along‐strike. This study tests the hypothesis that this along‐strike variability in backarc basin formation is reflected in detrital and

Initiation, Growth, and Contractional Deformation of Minibasins in a Salt‐Bearing Inverted Atlantic‐Type Rifted Margin: The Cotiella Massif (Southern Pyrenees)

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The study of offshore salt‐bearing rifted margins is commonly limited by seismic data resolution. Through the incorporation of salt‐bearing rifted margins in orogenic belts, some field analogs are still present at the surface. The Cotiella Massif, in the Southern Pyrenees, is an exceptional outcrop of the former Bay of Biscay–Pyrenean Atlantic

4D imaging of a porous carbonate rock under triaxial loading: quantitative correlation between local porosity and strain

open access: yesJournal of Synchrotron Radiation, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 1509-1521, September 2026.
A 4D X‐ray computed tomography experimental campaign was carried out on a porous carbonate rock to investigate the link between initial porosity and deformation modes. This paper presents the experiment and the methods used to explore this relationship.The study of the mechanical behaviour of carbonate rocks has benefited from the evolution of ...
