Genetic Identification and Population Assignment of Extralimital Sightings of Hector's Dolphins

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Genetic identification from extralimital sightings can determine whether an individual comes from a small or large population, with conservation implications. Such is the case for the endangered Hector's and critically endangered Māui dolphins of Aotearoa/New Zealand. We compare the success of three opportunistic sampling methodologies (biopsy,

Human Stem Cell Transplantation, Immunosuppression, and Noninvasive In vivo Cell Tracking in the Mouse Brain

Current Protocols, Volume 6, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Stem cell therapies have emerged as potential therapeutics of interest for many central nervous system diseases, including stroke, epilepsy, neurodegenerative diseases, and traumatic brain injury. Preclinical models are required to evaluate the migration of transplanted stem cells to various areas of the brain, monitor graft survival to ...

Fracture Resistance of Thermal‐Mechanical Aged Resin Composite‐Restored Premolars: Effect of Different Application Protocols of a Universal Adhesive

Clinical and Experimental Dental Research, Volume 12, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives This research investigated the effect of different applications of Universal bonding on the fracture resistance (FR) of maxillary premolars restored with mesio‐occluso‐distal resin composite. Materials and Methods One‐hundred and eight extracted maxillary premolars were randomly assigned into nine groups (n = 12): (1) ST, sound ...

Beyond the Cascade Dams: Scale‐Dependent Effects on Zooplankton Stability in River Ecosystems

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Cascade dams alter river zooplankton community stability, but how regulating factors act across local and regional spatial scales is poorly understood. Using field sampling and structural equation modeling, we revealed divergent scale‐dependent responses of zooplankton stability to dams—local stability depended on biodiversity, while regional stability

Testing the Dry Refuge Model: Paleoecological Insights From Late Pleistocene Gomphotheres in Ecuador

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We present paleontological evidence that may prove the Dry Refuge Model in Ecuador during the Late Pleistocene. ABSTRACT Paleoenvironmental records indicate that Neotropical regions near the Equator experienced reduced rainfall during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). However, some records show conflicting environmental signals.

Stayin' alive: Strategies to reduce predation on target species are context dependent

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Restoration and conservation efforts often aim to reduce predation, particularly by reducing interactions with nonnative predators in heavily disturbed and invaded ecosystems. For Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, a highly valued but declining fishery, potentially useful freshwater rearing habitat restoration strategies may include ...

Flume experiments on macro‐roughness elements: Hydraulic response and potential influences on flood risk and habitat diversity

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 8, August 2026.
Physical modelling of macro‐roughness elements for river restoration showed that backwater rise depends mostly on the relative structure width and approaching flow Froude number, with only minor differences among designs. Internal geometry modulated turbulent kinetic energy and flow partition between gap and wake.
