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

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

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
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 ...
