Sediment‐stressed reefs over the past 420 Myr
The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.In order to fully elucidate the relationship between siliciclastic sedimentation and reef development, there needs to be a significant step change in how we record ancient and recent reefs. Only through the collection of constrained quantitative data, we can progress beyond the largely conjectural associations postulated for many ancient reefal systems.

Species Yet to Be Discovered Are More Threatened and Have Smaller Ranges
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Aim To assess whether newly described species are more likely to be threatened and have smaller ranges than known species. Location Global. Methods In this study, we focus on the timing of species acceptance. We compare two global taxonomic assessments of birds, mammals and amphibians conducted approximately 10 years apart. Our approach allows

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 347, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Isochrones, equal‐age curves, are widely used in astrophysics to estimate stellar ages. Classical stellar parameters are, however, very limited in their usability for main sequence stars because of their weak age‐dependence. Here, rotation period measurements provide complementary information.

A Growth‐Coupled Evolutionary Strategy Enhances Heme Biosynthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Biotechnology Journal, Volume 21, Issue 1, January 2026.Graphical Abstract and Lay Summary Introducing a plasmid with a heme‐responsive promoter connected to a growth‐promoting gene into Saccharomyces cerevisiae created a positive feedback loop between intracellular heme levels and cell growth. After 100 h of adaptive evolution, the plasmid was removed, resulting in a mutant strain that exhibited an ...
