Restoring Mediterranean heathlands for declining birds: Initial responses to mosaic cutting and prescribed burning in the Natura 2000 LIFE program

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 2, February 2026.
Initial responses of open habitat birds indicate that mechanical cutting and burning in heathlands can maintain habitat to support open habitat bird species when applied in a mosaic approach. Vegetation treatments that resemble historic disturbance regimes (spatially and temporally staggered small‐scale interventions) are recommended to regenerate ...

Bees feeling the burn

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 279-296, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Fire is a major form of environmental disturbance, and in recent years, due to anthropogenic climate change and anthropogenic land management, we are seeing increases in the frequency and intensity of fires. With bees being an important, diverse group of pollinators that is facing declines globally, understanding how they respond to fires is ...

A 50‐year perspective on the use and potential of artiodactyl calcanei in bone adaptation studies

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 437-485, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Sheep and deer calcanei are important models for studying cortical (compact) and trabecular (cancellous) bone adaptation because they are amenable to direct strain measurement (due to lack of surrounding muscles), experience relatively simple/unidirectional bending, exhibit osteon remodelling, and have the most pronounced regional variations ...

Landowners' cognitions and motivations coupled with practice durability influence persistence in grazing agricultural conservation practices in southwest Virginia

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
Efficacy of agricultural conservation practices may be improved by promoting their continued use by landowners (i.e., persistence) after cost‐share contracts with government agencies end. Many social, ecological, and institutional factors influence a landowner's decision to choose persistence at the conclusion of cost‐share funding, and these factors ...

Agricultural System Resilience of Industrial Hemp: An Exploratory Value Web Analysis in the Swabian Alb

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study assessed the industrial hemp value web resilience in the Swabian Alb, Southern Germany, where regional implementation remains limited despite hemp's bioeconomy potential. Using an indicator framework and stakeholder interviews, the research found the small, fluctuating cultivation area (e.g., 25 ha in 2024) focuses on hemp seed valorisation;

Gyroid Labyrinth of Supertwisted Double Helices in a Liquid Crystal Polymer

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 4, 22 January 2026.
A side chain liquid crystal (LC) polymethylsiloxane (PMS) forms an unusual four‐network gyroid (4NG) structure. In each of the two chiral subspaces, separated by the gyroid minimum surface, there are two networks of aromatic moieties instead of one. These wind around the central polysiloxane bundle, forming a double helix.
