Plasticity in parental care: Interspecific competitor cues shape biparental cooperation in a burying beetle

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1358-1371, August 2026.
Our study contributes to our understanding of the effects of interspecific competition in species with biparental care where male and female parents must somehow coordinate their response to interspecific competition. Abstract Interspecific competition is an important evolutionary driver of many species' life histories and behaviours, arising wherever ...

Geolocation with a magnetic sensor

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 8, Page 2395-2407, August 2026.
Abstract Many migratory animals use spatial variation in the Earth's magnetic field for orientation and navigation. This raises the possibility of exploiting these same cues to geolocate and track migratory animals throughout their annual journeys. Magnetic‐based geolocation could be particularly valuable for small aerial and aquatic species, for which

Stable Isotope Analysis as a Tool to Prevent Illicit Wildlife Trade of Songbirds in Brazil

Animal Conservation, Volume 29, Issue 4, Page 421-431, August 2026.
Feather isotopes provide clear differences between wild and captive songbirds in Brazil. Combining multiple isotopes improved classification accuracy and revealed individuals falsely declared as captive‐bred. These results demonstrate the potential of isotope analysis to detect wildlife laundering in the bird trade.

Using customs data to understand overlooked trade in non‐CITES birds between Africa and Asia

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract The international trade in live birds poses risks to animals, people, and biodiversity. To effectively mitigate these risks, decision‐makers require information on the volume, dynamics, and direction of trade. Despite Africa once being the largest exporter of birds by region, very little data exist on recent trade in live birds not listed on ...

Animal Social Network Structures Across the Fast‐Slow Continuum

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 8, August 2026.
Using a mathematical model, we examine how the rate of demographic replacement (represented by generation time) influences emergent social network structure in natural populations. By considering a range of social preferences and modes of social inheritance, we find that demographic replacement influences the extent to which social networks can self ...

Natural and Anthropogenic Drivers of Genomic Diversity in the California Towhee: Conservation Implications for Peripheral Populations

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Demographic, geographic, and environmental factors such as effective population size, isolation, and habitat availability interact to shape contemporary levels of population genomic diversity. Such factors must be carefully evaluated and contextualized at both the intraspecific and interspecific levels when assessing the conservation status of

Nitrogen and Phosphorus Controls on Phytoplankton Growth and Bacterioplankton Communities in Wetland Impoundments

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Nutrient enrichment in shallow lakes and ponds can shift systems from clear water, macrophyte dominance to turbid, phytoplankton dominance. Because the identity and threshold of the limiting nutrients vary among sites, system‐specific evidence is needed to guide water quality management. We conducted 3‐day in situ nutrient‐enrichment bioassays

Genes Related to Sperm Motility Are Under Recent Ongoing Selection in Two Shorebird Species With a Polygynous Mating System and Frequent Multiple Paternity

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 15, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The analysis of the genomic architecture of selection can be insightful for the understanding of sexual conflict and sexual selection acting in wild populations. In general, there will be a wide range of possible targets of selection in the reproductive system of sexually promiscuous species.

Measuring the Depreciation of Intangibles Using Search Volume Data

Review of Income and Wealth, Volume 72, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This study introduces a novel methodology to estimate the depreciation of intangible assets using Google Search Volume (GSV) data. In this exercise, we focus on software and entertainment, literary, and artistic originals. We interpret declining search activity as reflecting economic obsolescence, the diminishing ability of assets to generate ...
