The “regime shift extinctions” hypothesis and mass extinction of waterbirds in Hawaiʻi

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Studies of biodiversity loss commonly imply that species extinctions occurred as a direct result of initial human arrival and thus are attributable to stewardship failures of Indigenous Peoples. However, recent studies have suggested this assumption is not supported by the evidence, prompting a global reevaluation of existing assumptions.

Sinkhole Physical Models to Simulate and Investigate Sinkhole Collapses

open access: yesSinkholes and the Engineering and Environmental Impacts of Karst: Proceedings of the Fourteenth Multidisciplinary Conference, 2015
Florida is one of the most susceptible states for sinkhole collapses due to its karst geology. In Florida, sinkholes are mainly classified as cover subsidence sinkholes that result in a gradual collapse with possible surface signs, and cover collapse sinkholes, which collapse in a sudden and often catastrophic manner.

A Machine Learning Framework for Detecting and Preventing Cyber‐Attacks in Industrial Cyber‐Physical Systems

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 1, January 2026.
Proposed cyber physical system security framework. ABSTRACT The increasing adoption of cyber‐physical systems (CPS) in Industry 4.0 has heightened vulnerability to cyber threats. This study proposes a machine learning–based intrusion detection framework, DBID‐Net, to effectively identify and prevent attacks in CPS environments. The framework integrates

Watershed‐scale controls outweigh local crossing effects on sediment loss from unpaved roads

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract In rural areas, unpaved roads can drive water quality degradation via sediment inputs. Excess sediment loss from poorly maintained unpaved roads to adjacent waterways blocks sunlight, decreasing primary productivity and increasing nutrient concentrations. This is particularly relevant to Arkansas, where 85% of county roads are unpaved; however,

Exploring narratives of human–nature connections in protected areas

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 37-50, January 2026.
Abstract Protected areas have become the most widespread strategy for nature conservation, and are currently expanding worldwide. Many of them are inhabited or close to inhabited areas, shaping and being shaped by connections between people and nature. These connections are not always positive.

Phytochemical Screening of 45‐Million‐Year‐Old Colored Angiosperm Leaves Reveals Distinctive Chlorophyll‐Derived and Polyphenolic Pigments

open access: yesGeobiology, Volume 24, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Present‐day angiosperm plants produce a plethora of metabolites including pigments that serve for important functions such as photosynthesis, protection against light, attraction of pollinators, and defense against microbes and herbivores. However, little is known about phytochemical constituents of ancient angiosperms, their distribution in ...

Multi‐Scale Habitat Selection of Greater Caribbean Manatees in Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, Mexico

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Habitat selection describes population distribution as a function of environmental features. It is a fundamental process with primordial ecological and evolutionary implications. To accurately describe habitat selection, it is important to identify temporal and spatial scales perceived by the population and use these scales when modeling ...

The Nature, Structure, and Perception of Illumination

open access: yesPhilosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 112, Issue 1, Page 175-192, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Illumination is a defining characteristic of natural environments, yet its nature and spatial structure remain poorly understood. I argue first that illumination is not simply light: it is an emergent, ecologically significant kind. Illumination has features not possessed by light, and contains self‐organizing structures that persist through ...

Hybrid Geothermal and PV Installations for Cooling and Heating Systems: Synergy for Sustainability in Tertiary and Industry Sectors

open access: yesInternational Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Recent studies confirm the potential efficiency of geothermal resources for maintaining comfortable building temperatures through cooling and heating solutions. In addition, a variety of initiatives have been promoted to effectively reduce both environmental concerns and energy crisis by the integration of renewables.
