Population dynamics of Townsend's big‐eared bats: effect of age and drought on survival
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.We estimated age‐specific yearly survival of female Townsend's big‐eared bats in Inyo and Mono Counties, California. We found that both juvenile and adult survival were negatively impacted by drought, and that detection probability was lower for hand‐recapture than for bats detected via pass‐through antenna arrays.

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 4815-4828, May 2026.The findings of this study indicate that powdery mildew control achieved with the pneumatic solid set canopy delivery system (PSD‐SSCDS) was comparable with that of a conventional airblast sprayer. These results highlight the PSD‐SSCDS as a promising alternative spray technology. Abstract BACKGROUND In this study, a previously optimized pneumatic spray

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.
