Metagenomics Reveals Microbial Community Shifts Associated With Contrasting Anthropogenic Impacts in Freshwater Sources of A Coastal Protected Area in Southeastern Brazil

open access: yesWater Environment Research, Volume 98, Issue 9, September 2026.
Metagenomics revealed distinct anthropogenic signatures in the microbiome of freshwater sources on Marambaia Island, supported by the Anthropogenic Impact Index (AII). Impacted sites showed lower microbial diversity, enrichment of fecal‐associated taxa, and 14 antimicrobial resistance genes, whereas conductivity, salinity, and turbidity explained 88.1%

DNA metabarcoding reveals wolf dietary patterns in the northern Alps and Jura Mountains

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 5, September 2026.
Understanding predator–prey interactions is crucial for wildlife management and human–wildlife coexistence, particularly in multi‐use landscapes such as western Europe. As wolves Canis lupus recolonize their former habitats, knowledge of their diet is essential for conservation, management and public acceptance.

Global meta‐analysis reveals urban‐associated behavioural differences among wild populations

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 9, Page 1539-1557, September 2026.
Urbanization drives rapid phenotypic change, yet broad patterns of behavioural responses remain unclear. Using a global phylogenetic meta‐analysis, we show urban populations exhibit increased boldness, aggression, exploration and activity—especially in birds—highlighting consistent behavioural shifts and revealing major taxonomic gaps that limit our ...

Revealing Functional Traits of Insect Pest Suppressive Rhizobacterial Strains Through Comparative Genomics

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 9, September 2026.
Inoculation of select rhizobacterial strains to enhance crop health is a growing field in sustainable agriculture. This study conducts a comparative genomic analysis of five plant‐beneficial rhizobacterial strains (Acidovorax radicis N35, Bacillus subtilis B171, Bacillus velezensis FZB42 Rhizobium radiobacter F4 and Pseudomonas simiae WCS417r ...

The Ties That Rhyme: Duality in Symbolic and Structural Networks of Grime Music

open access: yesThe British Journal of Sociology, Volume 77, Issue 4, Page 535-545, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Do birds of a feather really sing together? Musicians face two competing pressures in the pursuit of success: conforming to genre norms to meet audience expectations and distinguishing themselves to attract the attention of listeners. These opposing logics may shape how artists choose their collaborators.
