Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.Abstract Locally generated fast magnetosonic (local MS) waves in the Martian ionosphere have been reported recently, which are different from the solar wind‐driven MS waves. However, their effects on particle scattering have not been reported yet. This study pioneers the investigation of electron, proton, and oxygen atomic ion scattering induced by ...

Phytoplankton Tune Local pH to Actively Modulate Circadian Gravitactic Behavior
Advanced Physics Research, Volume 5, Issue 2, February 2026.Diel vertical migration hides an unexpected twist: Phytoplankton quietly engineer their local pH landscape, splitting into behaviorally distinct sub‐groups which stay separated even in identical conditions. Circadian pH changes, occuring over the course of a day, reshape their gravitactic behavior and physiological functions in ways scientists have ...

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.While species descriptions are rooted in biological diversity, their timing and patterns have also been influenced by historical, socioeconomic, and perceptual biases. Among these, body size has long been proposed as a factor influencing the timing of species discovery, with larger species assumed to have been described earlier due to their ...

Does nocturnal light pollution impair immune function in a wild‐living amphibian?
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 311-322, February 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Light pollution is among the most rapidly growing anthropogenic stressors on Earth. As it spreads far beyond its original source, it affects natural protected areas playing a key role in protecting biodiversity.
