Effects of landscape context on avian specialist response to increased surface temperature in protected areas

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Human development is a driver of global change and a major threat to biodiversity. Protected areas maintain and support biodiversity, but outside stressors, such as climate change and land use change, can negatively influence natural resources within protected areas.

Biodiversity‐driven spatial conservation planning to delineate temporally stable regions

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The accelerating loss of biodiversity underscores the critical need for effective conservation strategies, particularly in the face of climate change and anthropogenic pressures. We devised a conservation planning framework that adopts a temporal stacking approach to species distribution models and landscape connectivity analyses. These models

Recent Advances in Piezocatalysis and Piezo‐Photocatalysis in Energy and Environment: Materials, Design, and Applications

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Piezocatalytic technology utilizes mechanical strain or stress‐induced piezoelectric phenomena to produce robust internal electric fields, markedly improving the separation efficiency of e−‐h+ pairs. This method has emerged as a focal point in catalysis by removing reliance on conventional light or electrical energy via its mechanical‐to ...

Cobalt‐Based Metal Hybrid Encapsulated Micro‐Aluminum for Tailoring Combustion in Composite Solid Propellants

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT To address the issues of aluminum (Al) powder agglomeration during combustion and low oxidizer decomposition efficiency in composite solid propellants, this study utilized in situ self‐assembly technology to prepare cobalt‐based hybrid‐coated modified Al powder (Al@CZ).

Genomic responses to increased temperature and pollinator selection in Brassica rapa L.

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 2, Page 1231-1247, April 2026.
Summary Rapid environmental change reshapes both abiotic stress and biotic interactions, yet it remains unclear how these combined forces structure plants' genomic adaptation. In particular, the joint influence of temperature and pollinator identity, two ecological axes undergoing simultaneous global shifts, has rarely been quantified at genomic ...

Boosting Piezoelectric Voltage Constant in 3D‐Interconnected PZNNT Porous Piezoceramics via Pore Architecture Engineering

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT In conventional piezoceramics, the coordinated change between the dielectric constant (εr) and the piezoelectric charge constant (d33) usually limits the piezoelectric voltage constant g33 (g33 = d33/εr), a critical figure of merit for piezoelectric sensors.

Tunable Redox‐Active Anhydride‐Based Linear Polymer as Organic Cathodes for Chemically Self‐Charging Aqueous Zinc–Ion Batteries

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Chemically self‐charging aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs) have emerged as promising candidates for energy storage technologies owing to their environmental autonomy and structural simplicity. Nonetheless, the self‐charging performance is significantly compromised by the limited potential difference between cathodes and oxygen, as well as the

The coordination of dehydration tolerance and avoidance in oaks is mediated by leaf habit across a precipitation gradient

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 750-763, March 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Forests worldwide are increasingly impacted by drought due to climate change, prompting plants to adapt through dehydration tolerance (DT) and avoidance (DA), two distinct physiological strategies.

Tantalum‐Driven Interfacial Reconstruction Enables Ultra‐Low Contact Resistance in TiAlTa/Au GaN HEMTs

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The transformative potential of gallium nitride high electron mobility transistors (GaN HEMTs) in advancing carbon‐neutral power systems remains bottlenecked by contact resistance (Rc) at the metal–semiconductor (M‐S) interface, a critical determinant of switching losses and frequency response.
