Umbilical Cord: A Non‐Invasive DNA Source for Sea Turtle Genomics

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 6, August 2026.
ABSTRACT High‐throughput sequencing has revolutionised conservation genomics by enabling genome‐wide information even in non‐model species. However, obtaining non‐invasive samples for genomics remains challenging in species like sea turtles, which spend most of their lives in the open ocean.

BIMr2: Inference of migration rates and their drivers from multilocus genotypes

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 8, Page 2330-2342, August 2026.
Abstract Understanding how environmental factors drive recent migration is crucial for predicting species' responses to habitat change and for informing conservation strategies. There is one method available (BIMr) aimed at identifying the environmental factors associated with migration patterns using genetic data.

Examining the efficacy of a sanctuary to protect sharks in the Galapagos Marine Reserve

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract In 2016, Ecuador established a no‐take marine sanctuary in the northern portion of the Galapagos Marine Reserve (GMR), ostensibly to protect sharks. Arguably because of this, experimental longlining was permitted in the rest of the reserve as part of a compensation package to local fishers. Considering this agreement and very low bycatch rates

Design and evaluation of a nanofluid containing magnetite and graphene oxide nanocomposites to prevent asphaltenes precipitation in porous media

CT&F Ciencia, Tecnología & Futuro
The precipitation and destabilization of asphaltenes in mature oil fields pose significant challenges to the oil industry, leading to damage on the producing formation and the potential blockage of production facilities.

Temperature and Ultraviolet Radiation Influence the Skin Microbiome of Humpback Whales

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 15, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The skin microbiome of humpback whales harbours diverse microbial communities that play a crucial role in host skin protection and environmental interaction. However, studies on cetacean skin microbiomes in the Southern Hemisphere focus on feeding grounds, with limited information on microbiome dynamics at breeding grounds and during migration

The Evolution of UAE's Africa Foreign Policy: Motivations, Strategies and Challenges

Politics &Policy, Volume 54, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Recent studies on the foreign policies of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries attribute their increasing involvement in Africa to security and economic considerations. However, only a few studies have investigated the foreign policies of the individual GCC countries in more detail for confirmation. Hence, using a neorealist perspective on

Rhetorical Diffusion and Policy Latency: Tracing AIPAC Influence in US–Iran Relations (2010–2026)

Policy Studies Journal, Volume 54, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT How do domestic interest groups shape the transition from diplomatic agreements to kinetic warfare? This research article addresses the methodological stagnation in foreign policy analysis by introducing a computational text‐as‐data pipeline to systematically quantify lobbying influence.
