Adaptive Capacity of Freshwater Organisms in North America: Current Understanding and Future Applications

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
This paper tailors adaptive capacity understanding for North American freshwater fishes, mussels, and crayfishes by integrating trait‐based approaches to provide practical guidance for improving management and conservation decisions under global change.

Stochastic colonization, transient and boom–bust dynamics shape invasions by native taxa

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Boom–bust dynamics (BBD) is a population dynamic pattern described in invasion ecology, where a population suddenly increases (boom) before quickly declining (bust), eventually stabilizing at much lower levels. This initial outbreak is considered a transient phase preceding a long‐term population equilibrium.

Monitoring mercury across the National Wildlife Refuge System using a biosentinel approach

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.
We measured mercury concentrations in 1,356 dragonfly larvae collected from 30 National Wildlife Refuges across the United States and found wide variability among refuges, spanning the full range reported for other protected lands. Using a management‐focused mercury impairment index, 80% of refuges contained sites classified as moderate or higher risk.

Community attitudes and support for the restoration of a cryptic seabird in a peopled landscape

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1362-1378, May 2026.
Abstract Ecological restoration projects aim to facilitate species recovery, including the reintroduction and recolonisation of extirpated species. In the case of highly mobile species, restoring habitat within the species' historic range can lead to natural recolonisation.

Extended Strahler Ordering to Distinguish Mapped River Channels From Overland Flow Pathways and Consistently Compare Digital Networks

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 4, Page 869-885, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Digital networks are virtual representations of freshwater systems that provide important inputs to, and mapping of, river classifications, simulation models, and quantitative data analyses for policy, planning, and management. Strahler order has often been used to characterize network configuration and as a proxy indicator of river channel ...

Comparative Analysis of Gut Microbiota Among Captive Waterbird Species: Effects of Diet and Environmental Factors

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
This study reveals that diet drives gut microbiota differences in captive waterbirds (bar‐headed goose, ruddy shelduck, black‐necked crane), with protein‐rich diets shaping distinct microbial communities. Artificial lakes enhance microbial diversity compared to enclosures, offering insights for improving captive waterbird health.

Integumentary fibrosarcoma in a free‐living swan (Cygnus olor): Medical and welfare considerations

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract A 10‐kg adult male mute swan (Cygnus olor) of unknown age was admitted for investigations of two large ventral masses overlying the keel bone, which were discharging purulent material. The masses measured 8.9 × 2.1 cm and 4.2 × 3.2 cm. Empirical treatment with non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs and antimicrobials was instigated.
