Evolution of H5N1 Cross‐Species Transmission: Adaptive Mutations Driving Avian‐to‐Human Infection
Advanced Genetics, Volume 7, Issue 1, March 2026.This review synthesizes current knowledge on the molecular mechanisms underpinning H5N1's host adaptation, focusing on key mutations in viral proteins. Critical mutations are discussed in detail, highlighting their roles in altering receptor specificity, promoting antiviral resistance, and expanding viral tropism. The review underscores the urgent need

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 1, March 2026.Rotifers perform key functions in aquatic food webs and respond to environmental changes, thus providing sensitive indicators of water quality. However, rotifers are small, highly diverse, and difficult to identify for those lacking expertise. Monogononta are the largest taxonomic class of rotifers with over 1500 species described globally, and around ...

Avoiding the ‘One‐Size‐Fits‐All’ Trap in Policy‐Based Monitoring
River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 3, Page 732-746, March 2026.ABSTRACT Policy‐based monitoring programmes often fail to yield the information required to assess and improve policies and plans. A dominant cause of this problem is the ‘one‐size‐fits‐all’ (OSFA) trap—a failure to recognise that several, complementary types of monitoring are required to support effective policy.

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.Peruvian frogs underwent a climate‐driven range expansion into deglaciating mountains, exposing themselves and their fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) to challenging new thermal environments. Bd has dispersed extensively in these new habitats, and elevation may mediate the apparent sublethal impacts of infection for frogs.

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.Amphibian populations worldwide face threats from emerging infectious diseases. We screened frog‐biting midges (Corethrella spp.) from Central and South America for Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, Ranaviruses, and Trypanosoma spp. using qPCR. All three pathogens were detected, indicating that Corethrella may act as vectors and represent promising tools

From rhetoric to measurement: The economics of wetland conservation
Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics/Revue canadienne d'agroeconomie, Volume 74, Issue 1, Page 56-77, March 2026.Abstract Wetland conservation continues to be a pressing issue as wetlands continue to be lost due to urban, industrial, and agricultural expansion. This paper synthesizes the current knowledge about wetland conservation economics in Canada, with a focus on prairie landscapes. We review the methods economists use to empirically measure the costs (i.e.,

Sex‐Specific Control and Incomplete Matings: Sperm Removal Behavior in a Bush Cricket Species
Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 3, Page 194-203, March 2026.In this study, we investigated which sex influences the duration of sperm removal behaviour (SRB) in the ornate bush cricket, Metaplastes ornatus. Female traits showed a weak effect on SRB duration, and lighter females mated more frequently. Frequent unsuccessful mating terminations shortened SRB indicating high level of sexual conflict.

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT Flood loss mapping is one of the essential prerequisites for urban flood assessment studies to identify areas vulnerable to floods and to make cities safe and resilient. This study develops a neuro‐fuzzy loss model to generate flood loss maps, classifying loss levels into several categories ranging from no loss to severe loss.

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.Marine mammals are vulnerable to a variety of anthropogenic threats, yet a global systematic map of the literature for 19 species found both spatial and temporal disparity in research effort between threats and between species. There are knowledge gaps for species and threats, with effort unequal across many species' ranges.
