Defining and identifying relevant stakeholders to advance effective conservation
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.The challenge of defining stakeholders in environmental science and an approach for refining existing definitions. Abstract Stakeholder is a contested term that has spawned a multitude of ad hoc definitions. The ambiguity of these definitions has oftentimes impeded transdisciplinary research in environmental governance and conservation science because ...

Two variable higher-order central Fubini polynomials
Journal of Inequalities and Applications, 2019 Recently, the central Fubini polynomials were introduced in connection with central factorial numbers of the second kind. In this paper, we consider two variable higher-order central Fubini polynomials as a ‘central analogue’ of two variable higher-order

Voigt Transform and Umbral Image
Mathematical and Computational Applications, 2020 In this paper, we show that the use of methods of an operational nature, such as umbral calculus, allows achieving a double target: on one side, the study of the Voigt function, which plays a pivotal role in spectroscopic studies and in other ...

Foraging plasticity and physiological adaptations enable hummingbirds to subsist on dilute nectars
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1475-1490, May 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Hummingbirds frequently feed on small volumes (<30 μL) of sucrose‐rich nectars. Climate change is expected to affect both the abundance and the concentrations of accumulated nectar.

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.Our study highlights that when acclimatisation periods are too short, the substantial economic and logistical investment in soft‐release protocols may fail to deliver the expected conservation gains. Therefore, defining evidence‐based acclimatisation periods that are long enough to promote settlement, yet compatible with logistical constraints, may ...

Special Numbers and Polynomials Including Their Generating Functions in Umbral Analysis Methods
Axioms, 2018 In this paper, by applying umbral calculus methods to generating functions for the combinatorial numbers and the Apostol type polynomials and numbers of order k, we derive some identities and relations including the combinatorial numbers, the Apostol ...

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract The total solar eclipse on 8 April 2024 provided a unique opportunity to investigate the three‐dimensional (3‐D) ionospheric response under enhanced solar activity over North America. In this study, we processed high‐density GNSS observations from ∼1,700 stations to derive vertical total electron content and applied a multi‐term sinusoidal ...
