Cougar density on the Oregon Coast: Using dead recovery modeling in an open population

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.
The primary objective of this study was to determine cougar density in western Oregon. Our results demonstrate that integrating DNA collected via bio‐darting, mandatory hunter‐harvest check‐ins, and GPS collar data into the OPCR2 is a reliable method for estimating cougar densities in densely forested coastal systems.

Between birch and berries: seasonal dietary niche partitioning among sympatric alpine herbivorous birds

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Niche partitioning is important for the coexistence of closely related species, allowing species to reduce overlap in resource use despite shared ecological requirements. In alpine environments, harsh climatic conditions and low habitat complexity constrain opportunities for ecological segregation, making seasonal resource fluctuation especially ...

An alternative approach to music education research: Utilising Q‐methodology and activity theory to identify and compare international cross‐cultural viewpoints of classroom music teachers' assessment beliefs in England and Singapore

Review of Education, Volume 14, Issue 2, August 2026.
Abstract Assessment is a contested term in school conceptualisation and practices. Assessment in music education has a variety of meanings, and complexities can arise from music teacher and school leader understandings of the term. Using an activity theory conceptual framework and Q methodology, this longitudinal research project sought to develop ...

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

TAXON, 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

Phylogenetics of Clusia sect. Criuva (Clusiaceae) unveils a new species, reinstates an old name and clarifies sectional circumscription

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Clusia sect. Criuva has long been a taxonomic catch‐all, particularly in the final decades of the 20th century, when misapplications conflated eastern Brazilian taxa with species from the Guiana Shield. We combine herbarium‐based genome skimming, targeted fieldwork, and critical examination of historical literature and types to reassess ...
