Nest Survival and Failure in Ruffs Breeding on Grazed Coastal Meadows

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Nest survival is a key determinant of birds' breeding success, particularly in ground‐breeding birds, where nest predation is a major cause of reproductive failure. Birds can maximise their nesting success by optimising aspects of the sociospatial environment of a nest, for example, by reducing the risk of predation or flooding.

Art Adds Value to Ecological Field Courses: A Multi‐Year Case Study in Higher Education

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study presents Earth Projects, an interdisciplinary, place‐based field course that merges ecology and ecological art (eco‐art) to foster deeper engagement with environmental learning. Pre‐ and post‐survey comparisons show that incorporating eco‐art can strengthen students' emotional connections to their identities, disciplines, and place.

The Contrasting Role of Fire in Shaping Landscape Genetic Patterns of Small Mammals Across Two Islands

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We evaluated how landscape features, including fire, influence genetic connectivity for three small mammal species in northern Australian savannas. Using resistance surface modelling across two islands with contrasting disturbance regimes, we found that fire, rainfall, and topography affected gene flow in species‐ and scale‐specific ways.

Incorporating Plantain Into a Perennial Ryegrass–White Clover Mixed Sward for an Environmentally Sustainable Dairy System: A Three‐Year Farm System Study

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 2, April 2026.
Over three production years (2021–2024), this study investigated the effects of incorporating plantain into a perennial ryegrass–white clover (RGWC) mixed sward on dairy farm productivity and environmental footprint. Seventy‐two Friesian × Jersey cows were allocated to six farmlets across two replicated herbage treatments (n = 3): RGWC with no plantain

Milk Fatty Acid Dynamics in Cows Grazing Standard and Multispecies Pastures Under Two Management Systems

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 2, April 2026.
This study evaluated the influence of three pasture‐management systems on milk fatty acid (FA) profiles in New Zealand dairy cows: standard–contemporary (STD–CON), diverse–contemporary (DIV–CON), and diverse–regenerative (DIV–REG). The STD–CON pastures consisted of ryegrass–clover, whereas diverse pastures included up to 16 species of grasses, legumes,
