Genomic Vulnerability of a Threatened Possum in a Biodiversity and Climate Change Hotspot

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 19, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Spatial variation in the magnitude and pace of climate change impacts means some species will be more affected than others. This includes those occurring within global biodiversity hotspots, regions with exceptional concentrations of endemic species that have often been shaped by long‐term climatic stability.

Native and Introduced Plants in a Managed Campus Landscape: Habitat Associations, Functional Overlap, and Taxonomic Patterns

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study examined the distribution, habitat associations, and functional and taxonomic composition of native and introduced plant species across a highly managed university campus landscape. Native and introduced taxa differed in their associations with major habitat types and in growth‐form and taxonomic composition, while substantial functional ...

From One Disaster to Another: Environmental Memory, Automobility, Suburbanisation and the Canterbury Earthquakes 2010–2011

Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online, Volume 21, Issue 3, September 2026.
Broadly taking up Amitav Ghosh's (2016) comment that when it comes to climate change ‘we seem to learn nothing; our historical imagination is very limited’, this article argues that disregarding environmental memory, and past knowledge to plan a more resilient future, the Canterbury Earthquakes 2010–2011 continued and enabled suburbanisation and an ...

Enriching streetscape habitat for urban insects: A before–after‐control‐impact study in Melbourne, Australia

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 9, September 2026.
We demonstrate that habitat gardens on residential road verges can support a higher abundance and species richness of insects than a traditional lawn verge. As road verges comprise a substantial proportion of urban green space, converting lawn verges into habitat gardens represents a scalable and practical strategy for enhancing insect biodiversity in ...

Measurement and modeling of diffuse ultraviolet radiation: A review

Photochemistry and Photobiology, Volume 102, Issue 5, Page 1048-1059, September/October 2026.
Solar UV radiation consists of direct and diffuse UV components. The diffuse component contributes to the exposure received by humans and to the risk of skin cancer and sun‐related eye disorders. This review aims to determine future research directions for the measurement and modeling of diffuse solar UV radiation.

Knocking Off the Street: The Subversive Writings of Hong Kong's Grassroots Kings

City &Society, Volume 38, Issue 2, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines how two grassroots street artists in Hong Kong, the King of Kowloon (Tsang Tsou‐choi) and the Plumber King (Yim Chiu‐tong), intervene in the city's everyday visual order. Moving beyond celebratory collective memory narratives and easy analogies to graffiti, it frames their works as subversive urban practices that rework ...
