Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1735-1759, August 2026.
ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy

Comparative Distribution Projections of Hydrophilic and Xerophytic Invasive Species in Turkey Under CMIP6 Climate Scenarios

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Using an ensemble species distribution modelling framework (MaxEnt, Random Forest and Boosted Regression Trees), we compared the projected climate‐driven range shifts of two ecologically contrasting invasive plants in Turkey—the hydrophilic Eichhornia crassipes and the xerophytic Solanum elaeagnifolium —under three CMIP6 scenarios (SSP2‐4.5, SSP3‐7.0 ...

Fault‐controlled uplift segmentation and crust–mantle heterogeneity in the topographic evolution of the Sındırgı Segment (Western Anatolia) ruptured during the 2025 M6.1 earthquake sequence

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 8, August 2026.
Swath profile along the Sındırgı Segment. Grey curves show minimum, mean and maximum elevations, and the thick grey line shows elevation‐corrected Moho depth. Coloured circles indicate relative rock uplift from river‐profile inversion while the red curve shows cumulative uplift.

Non‐Edible Plant Pelemir Seeds (Cephalaria Syriaca L.): A New and Effective Source for Biodiesel Feedstock

Global Challenges, Volume 10, Issue 8, August 2026.
This research explores sustainable biodiesel production from non‐edible pelemir (Cephalaria syriaca) seed oil, a renewable energy feedstock. Optimized transesterification yields biodiesel with high conversion and desirable fuel properties, meeting international standards. This study highlights pelemir's significant potential for green energy solutions,

On‐site pilot‐scale advanced oxidation pretreatment of hospital wastewater: assessment of pharmaceuticals, pathogens, antibiotic resistance genes and acute ecotoxicity

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, Volume 101, Issue 8, Page 1478-1491, August 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Hospital premises generate wastewater containing a wide spectrum of contaminants, such as pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs), antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and pathogenic microorganisms, whilst plenty of them are classified under the antibiotic resistant bacteria (ΑRΒ) category.

Metabolite‐Driven Biological Activity of Mandragora autumnalis and Spartium junceum: A Comparative LC‐MS/MS Study on Antioxidant, Cholinesterase, and Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibition

ChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2026.
Low‐molecular‐weight phenolic acids in M. autumnalis were associated with antioxidant activity, AChE, and hCA inhibition effects, whereas flavonoid‐rich S. junceum displayed BChE‐oriented inhibition effect and antibacterial activity. LC‐MS/MS‐based metabolite profiling linked distinct chemical compositions to bioactivity patterns, supporting further ...

iS‐GNN: Interpolation of Crustal Stress Maps Using a Graph Neural Network Model

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Estimating the orientation of the maximum horizontal stress (SHmax) from sparse and unevenly distributed geophysical observations remains a persistent challenge in tectonic and geomechanical stress studies. Classical interpolation methods often neglect the multiscale tectonic–geological heterogeneity of the crust, leading to biased estimates ...
