Living in the Pyrocene: Assemblage‐Wide Terrestrial Vertebrate Responses to Mega‐Fires in the Pantanal Wetlands

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
More than 60% of Serra do Amolar within the Pantanal Wetlands, Brazil, was burned in 2020. Nine vertebrate species showed a dependency on forest areas, which are more vulnerable to fires in this region, despite the fire not having shown a direct effect on the occupation.

Novelty for the flora of Espírito Santo, Brazil: a new species of Ouratea Aubl. (Ochnaceae)

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Here, we describe and illustrate the new species Ouratea oberdanii Fraga & Deccache, which is named after Dr Oberdan José Pereira. This new species is found in the mountainous regions of the evergreen Atlantic Forest in the Brazilian state of Espírito Santo. Ouratea oberdanii is similar to O. linearis (A.Gray) Sastre & Offroy and O.

Water security from Indigenous knowledge perspective: A scoping review

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2668-2681, August 2026.
Abstract Water security is a growing field of research in water resources management and has been increasingly examined from the perspectives of Indigenous knowledge. This study presents a scoping review that explores how Indigenous knowledge perspectives on water security are represented in the scientific literature.

New canopy legume species highlight liana gap sampling across Amazonian and Atlantic rain forests

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Lianas are a key component of the Neotropical flora, accounting for 10% of angiosperm richness and playing important ecological roles. However, the canopy preference of some species often leads to their underrepresentation in herbarium collections, thereby exacerbating Linnaean, Darwinian, and Wallacean shortfalls. The papilionoid legume genus

A revision of the genus Armeria (Plumbaginaceae) in peninsular Italy and Sicily through an integrative taxonomic approach

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract The genus Armeria in peninsular Italy has been affected by taxonomic ambiguity for more than a century due to high morphological variability. We present a comprehensive revision of peninsular Italian and Sicilian Armeria species, using an integrated taxonomic approach that combines molecular phylogeny, plant and seed morphometrics, and ...

Prospective external validation of ADNEX and RMI for estimating risk of malignancy in adnexal masses in general gynecological settings: Danish multicenter study

open access: yesUltrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, Volume 68, Issue 2, Page 256-269, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives The primary aims of this study were to validate externally the diagnostic performance of the Assessment of Different NEoplasias in the adneXa (ADNEX) model for distinguishing between malignant and benign adnexal masses, when used by non‐expert ultrasound examiners in general gynecological settings with a low prevalence of ovarian ...

Landscape configuration and soil properties shape ant‐mediated seed dispersal in tropical dry forest agricultural landscapes

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1476-1487, August 2026.
We show that ant‐mediated seed dispersal components respond differently to local soil conditions and landscape structure in Caatinga agricultural mosaics. Low‐intensity rainfed croplands maintained or enhanced seed removal compared to natural remnants, highlighting how small‐scale agriculture can sustain key ecological processes in human‐modified dry ...

Revision of the Elusive Harvestmen Genus Discocyrtulus Roewer, 1927 (Opiliones: Laniatores: Gonyleptidae): Investigating the Presumed Northeastern Brazilian Discocyrtus‐Like Relatives

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT A maximum parsimony analysis based on morphological characters (23 taxa; 98 characters; 1951 scorings) was conducted to test the monophyly of Discocyrtulus Roewer, 1927, and to assess its phylogenetic relationships within Gonyleptidae. The results recover the species currently assigned to Discocyrtulus as phylogenetically distant from ...

Rethinking areas of endemism and barriers: perspectives for a causal historical biogeography and a critique of Schultz and Cracraft (2024)

open access: yesCladistics, Volume 42, Issue 4, Page 401-412, August 2026.
Abstract Historical biogeography faces a persistent conceptual and methodological dilemma concerning the nature of its central analytical units. Using the recent proposal by Schultz and Cracraft (Cladistics 40, 653) as a catalyst, this article critiques the argument that causal inference necessitates the replacement of areas of endemism with barriers ...
