Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.We analysed over 100,000 migrating birds from 157 species to identify macroecological drivers of interspecific variation in louse fly prevalence. Using phylogenetically informed Bayesian models, we show that host morphology, ecology and biogeographic traits shape infection patterns, with Ornithomya avicularia and O.

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.ABSTRACT Fly ash (FA) management is a global environmental concern. Although FA has been widely studied as a soil amendment to improve crop growth and productivity, its utilization remains limited due to the presence of toxic heavy metals (HMs). Reclamation of FA using tolerant plant species is a sustainable strategy to mitigate adverse environmental ...
