Simulated elephant foraging alters tree root exudation rates: Species‐specific responses and implications for belowground carbon dynamics in tropical forests

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1733-1745, September 2026.
Asian elephants play crucial roles in ecosystem functioning, and their interactions with plants influence above‐ and belowground carbon cycling. We tested whether their mechanically destructive foraging triggers short‐term, stress‐induced shifts in tree root exudation, an underappreciated pathway linking herbivory to belowground carbon processes.

The potential effect of megafaunal extinctions on modern conservation of horse chestnut Aesculus hippocastanum

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1563-1566, September 2026.
Many plant species worldwide are struggling to regenerate due to the ongoing effects of climate change. These effects appear to be further exacerbated by the loss of keystone megafauna, which were important seed dispersers. By identifying the traits commonly seen in seeds spread by modern elephants, it is possible to predict which species likely ...

Refusing the Feeling Rules: Arts‐Based Autoethnography as Emotional Resistance in Language Teacher Education

TESOL Journal, Volume 17, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This study employs arts‐based autoethnography to examine the emotional labor of Wenxi, a raciolinguicized TESOL educator who navigates systemic inequities in a predominantly white post‐secondary education program in the United States. Drawing on digital artworks and narrative reflections created through an arts‐based workshop, the study ...

Transforming multimorbidity care: Organizational barriers and provider behaviour in type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease

British Journal of Health Psychology, Volume 31, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Background Healthcare professionals' behaviours are central to effective multimorbidity management yet remain underexplored in behavioural medicine. Co‐existing type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) present intertwined behavioural and biomedical challenges; however, the organizational and professional factors that shape ...

The complex interaction between mammalian herbivores, climate, soil and fire has shaped the evolution and distribution of plant spinescence across biogeographical realms

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 6, Page 3640-3655, September 2026.
Evolution of spinescence in mimosoid legumes. Summary The evolutionary arms race between plants and herbivores led to numerous plant adaptations, including spinescence. However, the balance between herbivory and abiotic conditions in the evolution of spinescence remains unclear. We integrated phylogenetic, geographic, and trait data for 2686 species of
