A Wider View: Amie Siegel's Panorama and the Role of Contemporary Art in Natural History Museum Critique and Practice

open access: yesCurator: The Museum Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In Panorama, artist Amie Siegel montaged films made by Carnegie Museum of Natural History (CMNH) staff in the 1930s–1970s when documenting their research expeditions and exhibition projects, along with her own footage shot in the museum. Displayed at Carnegie Museum of Art in 2023–2024, the exhibition made visible the often hidden labors of ...

Fostering Dialogue on AI Ethics and Biases Through an Issue‐Based Traveling Exhibition

open access: yesCurator: The Museum Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Discriminatory algorithms, unauthorized data use, and environmental costs show how artificial intelligence (AI) advancements are tied to larger sociopolitical issues. Through the design and pilot study of AI Dilemmas, an issue‐based traveling exhibition, this qualitative case study explores fostering dialogue on such complex scientific ...

Environmental Preferences and Functional Variations of Methanotrophs in Northeast Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau Wetlands

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Significant environmental preference between type I and type II methanotrophs is regulated by soil ion concentration (pH and electrical conductivity) in wetlands. Type II methanotrophs (Methylocystis, etc.) contributes more to soil methane oxidation than type I methanotrophs.

Horses on the Menu: Patterns and Drivers of Free‐Ranging Horse Consumption by Iberian Wolves

open access: yesMammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.
Free‐ranging mountain ponies can comprise most of the Iberian wolf diet. Through a meta‐analysis of 137 studies, we show that horse consumption is shaped by prey availability, topography and human density, often surpassing wild and domestic ungulates and potentially serving as a buffer for livestock predation.

3RAD‐Guided SNP Discovery for Species Identification and Conservation of the Medicinal Southern African Tree Genus Greyia Hook. & Harv.

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
A two‐phase SNP discovery and assay‐development strategy was used to resolve species boundaries within the tree genus Greyia, as overlapping phenotypes and distributions limit accurate identification. From 47,726 genome‐wide SNPs generated by 3RAD sequencing, a diagnostic 23‐SNP Type panel was developed and validated, successfully distinguishing G ...

An integrated social and natural sciences case study for the reuse of organic wastes as soil amendments

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 965-982, May 2026.
Reusing organic waste materials, such as animal manure, as soil amendments reduces water and fertiliser demand, contributing to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. However, organic wastes may contain contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), posing potential ecosystem and human health risks. Despite the importance of this issue, there is a lack

COPIS: A robust and versatile robotic imaging system for the 3D digitization of natural history specimens with photogrammetry

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1617-1627, May 2026.
Abstract Ecologists and evolutionary biologists are increasingly turning to 3D models to use in scientific research. Natural history museums are one of the primary sources for specimens used as 3D models, and efforts are underway to digitize their collections using methods like photogrammetry.

Feeding ecology of Australian Christmas beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae): Implications for conservation and habitat management

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract Christmas beetles (subfamily Rutelinae, genera Anoplognathus, Calloodes and Repsimus) are an ecologically important and culturally significant group of Australian scarabs, known for their striking appearance and seasonal mass emergences. Over the last decade, anecdotal reports suggest widespread population declines, raising concerns about ...
