Individual characteristics, experience, and environmental conditions shape large‐scale patterns of animal activity timing

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The timing of an animal's activity affects its survival and reproduction because timing determines the nature of every interaction an organism has with its environment. Although the timing of activity may depend on aspects of the individual (e.g., body mass, reproductive status, experience) or the nature of the environment (e.g., temperature ...

Community perceptions and management of the fleshy‐fruited invasive alien plant Pyracantha angustifolia: Insights from South Africa's Montane grasslands

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1869-1879, June 2026.
Abstract Invasive alien plants can provide economic or cultural benefits to local communities, influencing perceptions and potentially affecting management decisions. Understanding these perceptions is crucial to avoiding inefficiencies, misunderstandings and conflicts in the management of invasive alien species.

Re‐Evaluating Springtime as Southern Arizona's Dust Season

GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The existing literature largely identifies spring as Arizona's predominant dust season, when synoptic‐scale dust events are most frequent and “Fine Soil” measurements from the IMPROVE (Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual Environments) network reach a yearly maximum.

FECUNDITY AND SUMMER CALF SURVIVAL OF MOOSE DURING 3 SUCCESSIVE YEARS OF WINTER TICK EPIZOOTICS

Alces, 2017
Moose (Alces alces) populations in northern New Hampshire and western Maine experienced 3 successive years of high winter tick infestations (epizootics) in 2014–2016 that resulted in late-winter calf mortality rates >70%.

Predicting Daily Cardiovascular Emergencies Using Weather and Air Quality Data: A 23‐Year Machine‐Learning Analysis in Taiwan

GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Short‐term variability in weather and air quality is known to influence cardiovascular emergencies, yet its day‐to‐day predictive value at the population level remains insufficiently understood. Using 23 years of nationwide data from Taiwan (2000–2022), we evaluated how weather and air quality conditions shape daily cardiovascular disease (CVD)

Towards weather‐based forecasting of annual seed production in six European forest tree species

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Synthesis and applications: Seed production can be predictable with a promising degree of accuracy for six European tree species in the year prior to seed rain, if combined with on‐site monitoring of seeds, phenology, and weather. This holds value for seed harvesters, nurseries and forest managers, and may inform orchard management and public health ...

Duck Tales: Spatio‐temporal dynamics of habitat use and prey relationships of a diving duck and its implication for conservation management

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.
Shows the spatiotemporal predictability of wintering eiders based on monitoring data from 1993–2023 with intertidal and subtidal Marine Protected Areas (yellow and green, respectively), and a depiction of the current mismatch between eider hotspots and protection measures. Abstract Migratory animals often follow predictable spatiotemporal distributions

Exploring Perceptions of Plastic Pollution Amongst Subsistence Livestock Farmers in Subtropical Rural Communities

The Geographical Journal, Volume 192, Issue 2, June 2026.
Short Abstract The analysis revealed that farmers in South Africa are aware of the negative impacts of plastic pollution on livestock health; however, they are constrained by a lack of waste management services, land shortages, livestock theft, climate change and limited veterinary services.

Citizen science reveals host‐switching in louse flies and keds (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) during a period of anthropogenic change

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 305-322, June 2026.
A study of louse flies in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, and Ireland found 212 different interactions between Hippoboscidae and their hosts, of which 70 were previously unrecorded. No louse flies were found on aquatic species of birds. Host‐switching to gulls (Laridae) has occurred during a period in which these species have started relying on ...
