Climate Change, Air Quality, and Pollen Allergies-State of the Art and Recommendations for Research and Public Health. [PDF]

Allergy
ABSTRACT Allergies are one of the major health challenges of our time, associated with a high individual burden of disease and high costs for the healthcare system. Given their prevalence, allergies are also highly relevant from a public health perspective. The development of allergic diseases is multifactorial. In addition to individual factors (e.g.,

Using phenology to improve invasive plant detection in fine‐scale hyperspectral drone‐based images

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Using drone‐based hyperspectral images of mixed temperate successional forests collected over a growing season, detection algorithms were produced for three invasive species of interest, which are not only invasive in Virginia but also much of the U.S.: Ailanthus altissima (tree of heaven), Elaeagnus umbellata (autumn olive), and Rhamnus davurica ...

Wing and Pappus Appendages Decrease Seed Terminal Velocity: A Meta‐Analysis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This meta‐analysis integrated terminal velocity records for 1479 species from various sources and explored descriptive patterns by taxonomic group, seed dispersal vector, and seed appendage type. This study revealed that wing and pappus appendage decrease seed terminal velocity with a robust analysis using regression models to predict terminal velocity.

Patient Perceptions of Traditional Bonesetters and Determinants of Their Utilization: A Cross‐Sectional Study in Iraqi Kurdistan

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Despite the prevalent reliance on traditional bonesetters (TBSs) in Kurdish societies, their role remains underexplored in scholarly research. This study aimed to evaluate patients' perceptions of TBSs and to investigate the determinants of their utilization over modern orthopedic care.

Anastomosis and Low Flows Sustain Resilient Groundwater Dependent Riparian Floodplains in an Agricultural River Valley, New Mexico

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 2, February 2026.
Groundwater‐dependent native riparian ecosystems of the Gila River floodplain (a) near the upstream end of the valley in winter 2014 and (b) near the downstream valley end in summer 2018. Topographically complex floodplains create favourable conditions across the full breadth of the valley bottom for a diversity of native groundwater‐dependent ...

Harnessing community science and open research‐based data to track distributions of invasive species in Japan

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
Information gaps about invasive alien species (IAS) distributions hinder local governments in Japan, where many prefectures still lack official lists. This study shows that open research‐based data (ORD, GBIF.org) from museums and herbaria and community science data (CSD, Biome and iNaturalist) from volunteers can substantially reduce these gaps.

Toward eco‐sustainable afforestation in arid lands: key lessons from a 23‐year‐old arboretum of native and non‐native trees in Jordan

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Introduction Afforestation is a key restoration strategy for mitigating land degradation and desertification in semiarid regions. However, evaluating the ecological impacts of tree species used for sustainable dryland restoration is crucial. For example, non‐native tree species may become invasive, with negative effects on native understory ...

Autorotating dispersal units of Getonia floribunda Roxb. (Combretaceae): morphology, aerodynamics and geometrical significance

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Dispersal units that continuously rotate while falling purely due to aerodynamic forces are called autorotating dispersal units. Single‐ to multi‐winged forms of autorotating dispersal units occur in nature. The dispersal unit of Getonia floribunda Roxb.

Conservation challenges and opportunities for native apple (Malus) species in Canada

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 134-156, January 2026.
Apple, one of the world's most widely cultivated and economically important fruit crops, has two wild relatives native to Canada. In this review, we describe the importance of these native apple species to Indigenous heritage and the current threats the species faces due to pests, diseases, and habitat loss.
