Maize Biofortification Approaches for Fighting Malnutrition in Sub‐Saharan Africa

open access: yesPlant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Maize is a staple food in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA); however, commonly used maize varieties are deficient in essential nutrients, including lysine, tryptophan, vitamin A, and minerals such as iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn). As a result, millions of people in this region suffer from one or more nutrient deficiencies that commonly lead to malnutrition ...

Analytical Ultracentrifugation in Aotearoa: A Brief History of the Technique and its Place Among Other Tools Used to Investigate Biomolecular Interactions

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Volume 56, Issue 4, August 2026.
Analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC) is a powerful and versatile tool for studying biomolecular interactions. The purpose of this commentary is to provide foundational knowledge of the technique and its uses through the presentation of two case studies in which AUC provides key data to answer research questions.

The Ceiling Height of Wildland Fire Plumes in Quasi‐Steady Stratified and Sheared Boundary Layers

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Radar observations from a prescribed fire experiment reveal a large‐scale, billow‐like vorticity structure associated with the plume head near the onset of plume bending. This bending limits the vertical extent of the plume and defines the characteristic plume ceiling height.

Long‐term changes in functional diversity and its implications for mammalian conservation and ecological restoration in a grassland ecosystem

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2379-2391, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Paleontological data provide information on natural environments prior to human influence, which are useful for tracking changes in ecosystem functioning through time. During the Late Pleistocene, about 10% of terrestrial mammalian species were extinct in South America.

Using Eye Lens Stable Isotopes to Identify the Rearing Origin of Fall Age‐0 Walleye (Sander vitreus)

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 775-783, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Isotope values in fish eye lenses may be useful in differentiating rearing origins. We compared eye lens isotopic values of fall fingerling age‐0 walleye (Sander vitreus) reared in a hatchery pond, a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS), and a natural lake. Using 10 fish per rearing source, we delaminated layers from one eye lens per fish to
