Temperature and Rainfall Shape the Breeding Ecology of Barn Swallows <i>Hirundo rustica</i> in an Arid Region. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Here, we show that the breeding ecology of Barn Swallows Hirundo rustica in an arid region in northern Algeria is strongly influenced by temperature and precipitation. These effects were apparent in terms of the duration of the breeding stage and on breeding fitness.

Field‐based infrastructure and cyber–physical system for the study of high night air temperature stress in irrigated rice

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 6, Issue 1, December 2023., 2023
Abstract High night air temperature (HNT) stress negatively impacts both rice (Oryza sativa L) yield and grain quality and has been extensively investigated because of the significant yield loss observed (10%) for every increase in air temperature (1°C).

Identification and Quantification of Volatile Organic Compounds and Bioaerosols in the Conservation Processes of Guanche Mummies

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 3, Page 561-572, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Guanche mummies, ancient inhabitants of the Canary Islands, represent a significant part of the historical heritage preserved at the Museum of Nature and Archaeology (MUNA) in Tenerife, Spain. These mummies, subjected to artificial conservation practices, are of great interest to conservators seeking to understand their mummification ...

New Roots for Restoration: Building a foundation for interdisciplinary work in plant organismal biology and ecology to advance restoration in natural and agricultural ecosystems

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 580-591, March 2026.
Soils are globally degraded due in part to conventional agriculture and wildland conversion. To address the global challenge of soil degradation, we formed an interdisciplinary, cross‐institutional collaborative research team, New Roots for Restoration, to understand how perennial plant root and shoot traits relate to one another, and how they ...

VHSV and IHNV in the Environment: Assessment and Comparison of eRNA‐Based Methods for Detection in Aquaculture

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.
VHSV and IHNV molecular detection in environmental samples was tested in controlled infection trials. We show that, in water, detected viral eRNA copies correlate with infectious particle numbers. After comparison of viral concentration methods from water, we demonstrate the feasibility of filter‐based eRNA detection in IHNV‐positive aquaculture farms.

Diagnostic Yield and Genotype–Phenotype Correlations of Clinical Exome Sequencing in Hereditary Spastic Paraparesis: Experience From Eastern Spain

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 33, Issue 1, January 2026.
Clinical exome sequencing (CES) was performed on 108 Spanish patients with suspected hereditary spastic paraparesis (HSP), using a virtual 129‐gene panel and HPO‐based variant filtering. A molecular diagnosis was achieved in 53% of cases, with 21 causative genes identified (8 novel variants), SPAST (AD) and SPG7 (AR) being the most frequent genetic ...

Effects of arginine vasopressin deficiency on cardiac fibrosis in male Wistar rats

Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, January 2026.
Abstract Cardiac fibrosis represents a consequence of hypertensive heart disease and is associated with ventricular dysfunction, arrhythmias, and mortality. Arginine vasopressin (AVP) promotes myofibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis through V1a receptors.

Prominent Grazing Rates and Feeding Preferences of an Abundant Exotic Benthic Herbivore in the Mediterranean Sea

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
In this study, we report the potential negative impacts of an exotic herbivore crab (Percnon gibbesi) in Mediterranean benthic habitats. Given the high densities of P. gibbesi found in the field, the large per capita and per area grazing rates quantified experimentally, and the broad generalist diet reported here and elsewhere, the ecological impacts ...

Predicting Democracy Support in the Middle East and North Africa

World Affairs, Volume 188, Issue 3, Fall 2025.
ABSTRACT Democracy support among Arab citizens has decreased noticeably in the past decade. The Arab Barometer data demonstrates more than an average of 15–30 points drop‐in democracy support depending on the country considered. The present research utilizes the seventh wave data set offered by the Arab Barometer conducted between October 2021 and July
