Improving Biodiversity Surveillance in Arid Systems With Environmental DNA: Detection of Sceloporus Lizards in Texas

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
eDNA detection rate did not significantly differ among individuals and was not statistically associated with incubation time. However, the number of positive detections was doubled in samples extracted following CTAB extraction methods. ABSTRACT Arid lands account for over 40% of the terrestrial habitat on Earth yet rank among the least studied ...

Permanent nearshore sediment loss and inevitable retreat of cohesive bluff‐backed beaches

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 7, July 2026.
Net volume in survey control areas at the dune‐backed beach (PB) and bluff‐backed beach (LD) is shown between surveys (‘interval’), where the first point is the difference between 2012 and 2020 JABLTCX LiDAR surveys. Cumulative totals are shown as square markers. Water levels during the same dates are shown in grey.

Tracking the Pulse of the Dunes: Seasonal Metabolic Responses of Liolaemus arambarensis to Climatic Variability

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 6, Page 568-580, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Seasonal environmental fluctuations profoundly influence ectothermic vertebrates, regulating their physiology, metabolism, and life cycles. This study investigated the metabolic and morphometric seasonal dynamics of the subtropical sand lizard Liolaemus arambarensis, an endangered species endemic to the coastal dunes of southern Brazil.

Aquatic macrophytes as nature‐based solutions: Challenges and opportunities across inland and coastal waters

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2026.
Abstract Macrophytes are foundation species whose use as nature‐based solution (NbS) in aquatic ecosystems can help reduce climate change impacts while mitigating biodiversity loss. The discrepancy in research and application of macrophytes as NbS across inland and marine coastal ecosystems is an opportunity to expand the concept and learn from ...

Drivers of human attitudes towards wolves Canis lupus in Kazakhstan

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 7, Page 2104-2115, July 2026.
Abstract Kazakhstan is recognized as a key stronghold for the grey wolf (Canis lupus). Nonetheless, the wolf status and the dynamics of human‐wolf coexistence in the region remain poorly understood. This study aims to fill that gap by exploring current attitudes towards wolves in Kazakhstan and identify the underlying drivers of these attitudes.

Relating Grain‐Scale Mechanics to Fluvial Energy Heterogeneity: Quartz Microtextural Signatures in the Kinu River, Japan

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Quartz grain surface microtextures serve as robust records of sedimentary history and depositional environment, yet a coherent framework quantitatively linking specific microtextures to stream power remains underexplored. This study integrates scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with quantitative hydrodynamic analysis along the Kinu River ...

Linking rhizosphere bacterial succession to metabolite dynamics unravels the underlying survival strategies of desert ephemeral plants

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 2083-2101, July 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Desert ephemerals complete rapid life cycles to survive aridity, yet the ontogenetic coordination of below‐ground rhizosphere interactions with above‐ground resource allocation remains unclear.

Flexible parental care in a songbird correlates with sex‐specific responses to seasonal phenology, mating opportunity and reproductive success

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 7, Page 1178-1193, July 2026.
This population‐comparative study reveals that male and female parents respond differently to social and ecological conditions. This sex‐specific responsive strategy is related to the incongruent parental care systems across populations in Chinese penduline tits.
