Flood Hazard in Aotearoa New Zealand Under Current and Future Climates
Geoscience Data Journal, Volume 13, Issue 3, July 2026.First nationally consistent freshwater flood maps for Aotearoa New Zealand, produced for 1% AEP rainfall design events under current and future climate conditions (1°C, 2°C, 3°C, and 4°C above pre‐industrial), with 4 m‐resolution water depth and depth–velocity outputs. ABSTRACT Flooding is one of the costliest hazards facing Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ).

Behavior and mortality of anurans on roads in the Australian tropics
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 5, July 2026.Roads are a major source of mortality for wildlife, particularly amphibians. Identifying vulnerable species and understanding any behavioral predictors of mortality helps us understand vulnerability to traffic and can inform management strategies. We investigated a 9‐species anuran community in tropical Australia with respect to 3 behavioral responses ...

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 5, July 2026.We used a population viability analysis to evaluate the influence of headstarting on recovery of the Rouge National Urban Park Blanding's turtle population. Completing the remaining 12 years of the 20‐year headstarting program is projected to approximately double population size relative to no further supplementation.

Extraordinary methane levels in a small bar‐built tropical estuary
Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2026.Abstract Small estuaries link uplands and nearshore marine environments but are understudied in many regions. We quantified spatial and temporal variability in CH4, CO2, nutrients, and organic matter in a small, deep, bar‐built tropical estuary in Fajardo, Puerto Rico.

Balancing tracks and trees: Assessing railroad impact on Brazilian biodiversity
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1345-1356, July 2026.The Brazilian West–East Integration Railway (FIOL) aims to boost the national economy by improving commodity transport; however, it crosses three of Brazil's most biodiverse and fragile regions: the Caatinga, Cerrado and Atlantic Forest. Using digitised plant records and land‐use analyses, our study reveals significant vegetation loss within the ...
