Precipitation‐mediated asymmetric fitness consequences of nectar robbing in distylous Primula florindae

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Flowers with deep corollas are frequently associated with nectar robbing, a behaviour that often reduces pollen transfer and seed production. Robbing scars, however, may further affect plant reproductive success through rainwater entry into corolla tubes.

Elevated nitrogen deposition protects an invasive plant from herbivory through altering leaf volatile‐mediated tritrophic interactions

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Atmospheric nitrogen deposition disrupts plant–herbivore interactions, but its impact on leaf volatile organic compounds (VOCs)‐mediated multi‐trophic herbivore resistance remains unclear within the context of plant invasion. In this study, we initially investigated the

Effects of restoration practices on biodiversity in temperate and boreal forests

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Several restoration practices are used to mitigate and compensate for the negative effects of large‐scale forestry on biodiversity in temperate and boreal forests. A comprehensive synthesis of the benefits of these practices across taxa is missing. We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis on this topic.

Optimizing biodiversity offsetting for habitat succession and colonization dynamics

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity offsetting aims to compensate for ecological losses from development through conservation and restoration. However, its long‐term outcomes under repeated impact–offset cycles remain uncertain. Using a conceptual forest succession model, we evaluated how offset outcomes are affected by interactions among compensation scale ...

Pest‐preservation paradox among insects

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
The pest‐preservation paradox is a non‐binary perspective that insects range from those that are harmful and requiring management on the one side, to those requiring conservation intervention on the opposite end of the spectrum. Importantly, the vast majority of insects occur somewhere in the center of the two extremes, and their position along the ...

Colloid‐Mediated Surface Reconstruction Through High‐Valence Element Integration Enables Stabilized Oxygen Redox and Fast Interfacial Kinetics in Li‐Rich Cathodes

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Lithium‐rich manganese‐based cathodes (LRM) deliver high discharge capacities beyond 250 mAh g−1, but their practical deployment is restricted by irreversible oxygen redox, structural reconstruction, sluggish kinetics and unstable cathode‐electrolyte interfaces (CEI). Here, we develop a colloid‐assisted anchoring‐diffusion engineering strategy

Amino‐Functionalized Mesoporous SiO2 Hollow Nano‐Doughnuts for Enhanced Gas Adsorption and Specific Foodborne Pathogen Recognition in Point‐of‐Care Detection

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Developing rapid, precise gas sensors for Listeria monocytogenes (LM) biomarker detection faces challenges due to suboptimal gas‐solid interactions. Herein, we report the rational synthesis of amino‐functionalized mesoporous SiO2 hollow nano‐doughnuts (MS‐2‐NH2‐2) via modification with (3‐aminopropyl) trimethoxysilane (AAPTMS), which enables ...

Ultrasonic Vibration Assisted Laser Processing: A Hybrid Paradigm for Extreme Surface Enhancement

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Traditional laser processing techniques offer many advantages, but they often encounter limitations such as heat‐affected zones, recast layers, residual tensile stresses, and poor surface finish. The integration of ultrasonic vibration (UV) presents a promising hybrid approach to overcome these challenges by introducing beneficial effects like

Lignin‐Derived Carbon Quantum Dots as Hole‐Trapping Promoters in LCDs/Bi‐MOF/ZIS With S‐Scheme Heterojunction for Efficient Photocatalytic Hydrogen Peroxide Production in Pure Water

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production from water and oxygen driven by solar energy represents a highly promising green and sustainable strategy. Herein, lignin‐derived carbon quantum dots (LCDs) were strategically introduced at the heterojunction between a Bi‐based metal organic framework (Bi‐MOF) and ZnIn2S4 (ZIS).

Insights from three decades of IUCN Red List assessments catalyzing shark, ray, and chimaera conservation

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species is a critical measure of global aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity status. It is also the basis for the Red List Index, which tracks extinction risk over time.
