Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2448-2466, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

Indirect selection criteria against clean wool colour in Corriedale sheep and their effects on wool production traits

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2002
The potential of greasy wool colour subjective assessment Visual Colour Score (VCS) and the yellow predictive test (YPC) as indirect selection criteria for reduction of clean wool colour (CWC) in Corriedale sheep was examined.

Sociability Under Anthropogenic Change: From Individual Behaviour to Population‐Level Consequences

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Our review synthesises empirical and theoretical research on how anthropogenic environmental change reshapes animal social behaviour from individuals to populations. We use sociability as an individual‐level lens, distinguishing context‐dependent expression from repeatable interindividual differences and linking both to social relationships, network ...

The Future of Native Bees in Australia Under Environmental and Anthropogenic Change

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Bees are considered one of the most important and abundant pollinators across the globe, yet they are under threat from anthropogenic activities such as land‐clearing, urbanisation, agricultural activities, pesticide use, non‐native flora and fauna introductions, disruption of natural fire regimes, pollution and climate change, among others.

Coat Color‐Associated Transcriptomic Differences of Black and White Hortobágyi Racka Sheep Using the RNA‐Seq Technique

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
We compared skin transcriptomes of black‐ and white‐coated Hortobágyi Racka sheep using RNA‐seq to identify coat color‐associated molecular differences. Black‐coated sheep showed coordinated upregulation of melanogenesis and melanosome‐related genes together with pathways linked to redox balance, mitochondrial metabolism, and thermogenesis.

Is It a “Hybrid Swarm”? Opportunities for More Informative Terminology in Conservation Genomics

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
We conducted a comprehensive review of 67 journal articles that use the term “hybrid swarm” in reference to hybridization, as variation in the usage of the term makes it difficult to understand which biological processes are being described. We found that “hybrid swarm” is used in several contexts across studies using various methods and numbers of ...
