Green Synthesis and Antifungal Activity of Sophora flavescens‐Mediated Silver Nanoparticles

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.
This study describes a green, simple, and low‐cost biological way tosynthesize silvernanoparticles (AgNPs)using the ethanolic root extract of Sophora flavescens. It investigates its antifungal activity against four strains of Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, Candida utilis, and Aspergillus flavus.

Early to Mid‐Holocene Cool Temperature‐Induced Drought in Asian Interior

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract Hydroclimatic variations in mid‐latitude Asia during the early to mid‐Holocene and associated mechanisms remain disputed, hampering our understanding of atmospheric circulation controls on regional climatic changes. We report Holocene alkenone records from two Siberian lakes, documenting lake temperature and hydrological changes, and ...

Laguna Fuente de Piedra: An example of a dolomite factory recording ~50,000 years of depositional and paleoclimatic evolution

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
This study characterises carbonate mineral precipitation mechanisms and their paleoenvironmental implications in a semi‐arid, saline playa lake system. SEM image with EDS spectra shows microcrystalline, spherical shaped dolomite crystals from Laguna Fuente de Piedra composed of nanocrystals with bacterial voids and EPS.

Microbial mediation and climatic control on dolomite precipitation in a hypersaline lake: Insights from Salinas Lake, southern Iberia

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
The cyclical nature of aridity and humidity led to the alternating deposition of dolomite‐rich and calcite‐rich sediments. During arid phases, the lake hydrology and growth of microbial mats under evaporative and hypersaline environment favors the precipitation of dolomite.

Ethnobotanical survey of pesticidal plants used in South Uganda : case study of Masaka district [PDF]

, 2011
Use of synthetic pesticides in developing countries is not only limited by their being expensive but also the small (uneconomic) fields whose limited production costs cannot offset costs of agricultural implements like agro-chemicals. Subsistence farmers,

Integrating Multiple‐Covariate Distance Sampling and Habitat Modeling to Inform Conservation of the Asian Houbara in Central Iran

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We combined multiple‐covariate distance sampling (MCDS) with habitat modeling to estimate the abundance and habitat associations of the vulnerable Asian houbara (Chlamydotis macqueenii) in central Iran. Line‐transect surveys in spring 2022 yielded an estimated density of 0.53 individuals/km2 (~5293 birds), with nearly identical results from ...

Diet Switching and Interspecific Competition in Sympatric Steppe Ungulates Under Seasonal Resource Variability

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the mechanisms of competition and coexistence among sympatric species is crucial for deepening our understanding of interspecific interactions and informing the conservation of rare and endangered wildlife. In this study, we utilized DNA macro‐barcoding technology to analyze the seasonal dietary habits of Kiang (Equus kiang) and ...
