Internal physiological drivers of leaf development in trees: Understanding the relationship between non‐structural carbohydrates and leaf phenology

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1151-1164, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant phenology is crucial for understanding plant growth and climate feedback. It affects canopy structure, surface albedo, and carbon and water fluxes. While the influence of environmental factors on phenology is well‐documented, the role of plant intrinsic factors ...

Jellyfish blooms restructure plankton dynamics and trophic linkages in coastal waters

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1443-1460, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Jellyfish blooms are increasing globally in frequency and intensity, introducing complex ecological interactions, yet the mechanisms by which they alter ecosystem structure remain poorly characterized due to a lack of sustained field observations.

In vitro culture, cryopreservation, and field reintroduction of the endangered Mingan thistle

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Current plant conservation efforts are hindered by, for example, poor seed germination, low viability, and insufficient propagation and preservation technologies. To address these problems, we devised an approach to plant conservation that integrates conservation, preservation, and restoration (CPR), which uses advanced in vitro techniques. We

Informing spatial conservation prioritization with species’ traits

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract New Guinea, the most botanically diverse island on the planet, is the location for one of the boldest conservation initiatives. The Manokwari Declaration aims to achieve 70% conservation designation for the Bird's Head Peninsula. This is 40% higher than the 2022 Global Biodiversity Framework target.

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 ...

A Preliminary Assessment of Noise‐Related Impacts From the Urban‐Invasive Johnstone's Whistling Frog (Eleutherodactylus johnstonei) 城市入侵物种约翰斯通鸣蛙 (Eleutherodactylus johnstonei) 引起的噪声影响初步评估 Una evaluación preliminar de los impactos relacionados con el ruido de la rana silbadora de Johnstone (Eleutherodactylus johnstonei), especie urbana invasora

Integrative Conservation, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 104-114, March 2026.
The Johnstone's whistling frog is an invasive species whose loud night‐time calls may affect human health and well‐being. Our study in Cali, Colombia, combined fieldwork and online surveys to assess its urban occupancy, density, and potential health impacts.

Sun Bear Ecology and Conservation: Multiscale Habitat Associations in Southeast Asia 马来熊的生态与保护:东南亚地区的多尺度生境关联研究

Integrative Conservation, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 125-136, March 2026.
We collated detections of the sun bear from new and previously published camera trap studies across its range. We then analysed these detections at two different spatial scales to assess the habitat associations and diel activity of this species. We found that the sun bear is tolerant to moderate habitat disturbances. ABSTRACT Degraded tropical forests,

Phosphorus‐Doping Drives the Formation of a Pt‐Skin@PtFe Alloy Catalyst With Modulated d‐Band Center for Oxygen Reduction

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Platinum (Pt)‐based catalysts are crucial for the commercialization of hydrogen/metal air batteries, but they suffer from Pt scarcity, high cost, and nanoparticle dissolution/agglomeration, mainly leading to performance degradation. We address this by synthesizing a PtFe alloy catalyst (PtFe–PA–NC) via a phytic acid (PA) assisted pyrolysis ...

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.

Multi‐Functional S‐HA/ASTA NPs Coating on Biodegradable ZE21B Alloy for Cerebrovascular Applications

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys have attracted extensive attention of researchers in the field of cerebrovascular implants due to their good mechanical properties and biosafety. However, rapid degradation and delayed endothelialization pose challenges. To address these issues, this study introduces a multifunctional composite coating.
