Environmental and seasonal filtering of taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity patterns of mountain butterflies in a prime butterfly area, Greece

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Forest clearings support butterfly communities comparable to mountainous grasslands in alpha‐diversity and conservation value, yet remain compositionally distinct. Generalized linear models (GLMs) showed three key habitat predictors shaping multifaceted diversity and community composition: herb/grass height, flowerhead abundance and elevation.

Genetic Control of Canalization for Twinning Rates in Polypay and Rambouillet Sheep Using Threshold or Double Hierarchical Generalized Linear Models

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 6, Page 807-820, November 2026.
ABSTRACT In most sheep production systems, the ideal scenario is for every ewe to lamb and successfully raise twins. However, selection for increased number of lambs born (NLB) is often accompanied by a higher incidence of triplet and higher‐order births, which increases management challenges and producer reluctance to intensify selection for this ...

Population Status, Ecology and Conservation Challenges of Cattle Egrets (Bubulcus ibis), Especially in the Southern Africa Subregion: A Systematic Review and Evidence Synthesis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
The Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis) occupies a wide range of natural and human‐modified habitats, yet research effort across its range is highly uneven. Our systematic review of 173 studies synthesises patterns in population trends, habitat use, breeding ecology, threats and ecosystem services, revealing strong geographic and thematic biases in available ...
