Environmental factors associated with nesting habits and age shape the composition and connection between skin and uropygial gland microbiomes of birds

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1435-1452, August 2026.
This study provides new insights into how ecological conditions influence the evolution of host‐associated symbiotic communities and their functional roles. The findings suggest that pathogen pressures linked to nesting habits in birds shape bacterial communities of the uropygial gland, and their connection with the skin microbiome, where the ...

The MIREN Road Survey Database: Standardized Vegetation Sampling to Advance Our Understanding of Biodiversity Responses in Mountain Systems Across the Globe

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Motivation The database initiated by the Mountain Invasion Research Network (MIREN) is one of the few globally implemented standardized vegetation surveys in mountains. The focus is on collecting plant species occurrences at 5‐year intervals along and adjacent to mountain roads spanning elevational gradients, with the goal of providing ...

Analysing the Ecological Requirements of the Australian Tortoise Beetle Trachymela sloanei (Blackburn, 1897) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) to Determine the Prospects for Its Invasion Process

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 7, Page 955-967, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Invasive species pose a serious threat to biodiversity and result in significant economic costs. Although much effort is devoted to understanding invasive processes, some aspects are poorly understood, such as the early stages of invasions and the reasons for invasion failure.

Climate Change Threatens Micronutrient Density of European Winter Wheat

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 42, 28 July 2026.
Micronutrients are vital for human health. Wheat is a major staple crop and a significant source of minerals and B‐vitamins. The impact of climate change on their content remains largely unknown. We evaluated micronutrient levels in European winter wheat grown under historical and projected climate conditions. Our findings indicate that future climates

A Transient Coastal Uplift Event Revealed by Pleistocene Marine Terraces Along the 2015 M8.3 Illapel Earthquake Rupture, Chile

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Uplifted Pleistocene marine terraces in the Illapel area along the forearc of central Chile record spatially and temporally variable uplift rates on glacial‐cycle timescales. However, the underlying mechanisms for this uplift variability and its potential relationship with the megathrust‐earthquake cycle remain poorly understood.
