Retention of the Full Visual Opsin Repertoire in Some Australian Cryptozoic Lizards

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study investigates the link between visual evolution and fossorial habits in the endemic Australian skink genus Lerista. We provide evidence for positive site‐specific selection in all 4 cone opsins, as well as relaxed selection specific to LWS. We also provide evidence of selection linked to limb reduction, an indicator of fossorial adaptation ...

Water Level Regulation Regime Shifts Drive Divergent Foraging Habitat Use by Wintering Hooded Cranes (Grus monacha) in Shallow Gate‐controlled Lakes of the Yangtze Floodplain

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study investigates how contrasting hydrological regulation regimes at two gate‐controlled lakes influence the foraging strategies of wintering Hooded Cranes. We demonstrate that while cranes at near‐natural sites follow Optimal Foraging Theory by utilizing high‐accessibility mudflats, those at artificially high‐water sites exhibit an adaptive ...

Over three‐quarters of earthworm species lack protection in China, a crisis exacerbated by climate change

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Earthworms, as ‘ecosystem engineers', play a crucial role in regulating ecosystem functions and shaping community structures. Due to climate change, earthworms face severe survival pressures and extinction risks. However, whether conservation efforts targeting aboveground biodiversity can cover the long‐neglected earthworm diversity remains unknown. To

Environmental Policy Without Implementation? A Review of Factors Contributing to Implementation Gaps in Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries

Environmental Policy and Governance, Volume 36, Issue 3, Page 611-635, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The sound formation of robust environmental policies is increasingly important for low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs) to achieve their national objectives and international commitments. However, policy implementation can be complex, and environmental policies may not be prioritised given other critical socio‐economic development issues ...
