Strongest shoreline simplification coincides with fish and waterbird cross-trophic concordance in hydrologically connected urban lakes

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems
Shoreline modification is widespread in urban lakes, yet its consequences for cross-trophic relationships remain poorly understood, particularly in hydrologically connected systems.

Freshwater Biodiversity Research in Brazil: Trends from a Systematic Review and Topic Modeling

International Review of Hydrobiology, Volume 111, Issue 2, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Brazil is a megadiverse country that hosts six major biomes and a vast freshwater network. Despite this richness, research on freshwater biodiversity has been heterogeneous across regions, communities, and time, leaving significant knowledge gaps.

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2081-2102, October 2026.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Counting cases, conserving species: addressing highly pathogenic avian influenza in wildlife

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2190-2213, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has become a critical threat to wildlife, shifting from a seasonal epizootic to a persistent, year‐round panzootic with global consequences. Here, we summarise the origin, evolutionary mechanisms, and expanding host range of the current H5N1 virus (clade 2.3.4.4b) and assess its impact on wildlife. Over

Waders in a sea of debris: a global overview

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2253-2264, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The impact of plastic pollution on ecosystems and marine fauna is well documented, although research into its effects on waders (also known as shorebirds) remains limited. Given that waders are exposed to coastal marine litter, this exposure could be a significant factor in the decline of their populations. This study aims to assess the global

The costs of extra‐pair behaviours in birds

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2300-2312, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Extra‐pair behaviours – reproductive behaviours, including those related to copulation and paternity of offspring, amongst animals outside of a social pair bond – have long intrigued behavioural ecologists, particularly from the female animal's perspective.

A Methodological Case Study for Integrating Virtual Reality and 3D Photogrammetry: A Pilot Digital Platform for Exploring Mangrove Environments

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
This study presents a methodological prototype that demonstrates the potential of integrating virtual reality and 3D photogrammetry to address the logistical and safety challenges inherent in exploration within sensitive habitats, with particular focus on mangrove ecosystems.

Climate Change Impacts on the Distribution Patterns and Habitat Suitability of the Oriental Stork (Ciconia boyciana) in China: Implications for the “30 × 30” Conservation Targets

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Using an optimized MaxEnt model integrated with the HSI‐InVEST habitat quality model, we predicted that suitable habitats for the Oriental Stork in China will expand (0.22%–7.82%) and shift northeastward under future climate scenarios, with altitude and precipitation identified as key drivers.

Heavy Metal Characteristics and Their Association With Microbial Communities of Wetland Soils of Shengjin and Caizi Lakes, China

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.
Heatmaps showing correlations between heavy metals and microbiota, heavy metals and KEGG pathways, and microbiota and KEGG pathways in Shengjin Lake and Caizi Lake, respectively. ABSTRACT Wetland soils are among the ecosystems most vulnerable to anthropogenic disturbances, and they play critical roles in biogeochemical cycling and energy exchange.
