Translocation and deterrence as tools for conservation and management of Columbian ground squirrels (Urocitellus columbianus) in a national park

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.
Our study evaluates two non‐lethal methods for managing Columbian ground squirrels in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada. We demonstrate that translocated squirrels exhibited lower survival than controls and that a deterrence methodology that includes blocking burrows may be an appropriate alternative, especially when combined with other tools ...

Potential Causes of Shedding Aggregations in Prairie Rattlesnakes

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
The mechanisms that underpin aggregation behavior in animals—and the cues that elicit it—inform our understanding of how animals resolve tradeoffs among selection pressures. We documented aggregation during ecdysis in a population of asynchronously shedding prairie rattlesnakes (Crotalus viridis) and tested predictions generated from the four ...

Host‐Specific Vocal Similarity in Fledgling Levaillant's Cuckoos and Babblers in West Africa

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Young cuckoos can mimic host calls to gain care, but the extent of this similarity varies across hosts. Analysing fledgling begging calls across four host associations, we found that calls given during food transfer were broadly similar and did not match host calls, whereas cuckoos reared by their main West African host closely mimicked host begging ...

Prevalence and Mechanisms of Sustained Force Production in the Musculature of the Southern Alligator Lizard (Elgaria multicarinata)

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 3, Page 272-281, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The southern alligator lizard (Elgaria multicarinata) exhibits prolonged mate‐holding behavior. This behavior maybe be underpinned by a phenomenon known as sustained force, observed in the jaw muscles of this species, in which the muscle fails to relax between subsequent contractions.

CRISPR/Cas Genome Editing and Its Applications in Cereal Crop Improvement

open access: yesPlant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT CRISPR/Cas‐based genome editing has emerged as a transformative tool for precise genetic improvement of cereal crops. Recent advances in CRISPR technologies, including Cas9, Cas12, Cas13, base editing, and prime editing, have enabled targeted modification of genes and regulatory elements controlling yield, stress tolerance, and grain ...

Remembering Courtney Cazden, 1925–2025

open access: yesReading Research Quarterly, Volume 61, Issue 2, April/May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Here we remember and honor Courtney B. Cazden (1925–2025), whose scholarship, mentorship, and moral clarity profoundly shaped the study of language, literacy, and learning. Drawing on our shared experiences as colleagues, collaborators, students, and friends, we reflect on Courtney's enduring contributions to classroom discourse analysis ...
