Seed dormancy explains plant response to mass mortality events

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 907-921, April 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Mass mortality events (MMEs) are large‐scale, rapid die‐offs resulting in extreme inputs of carrion biomass. Recent work demonstrates the effects of increasing carrion biomass on plant communities modulated by vertebrate scavengers and herbivores.

Enhancing Histological Visualization of Tooth and Bone Ground Sections Using Terminalia chebula Stain: A Comparative Analysis

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Visualization of mineralized tissues such as tooth and bone in ground sections is widely used for histological studies. However, unstained ground sections often provide limited contrast and obscure microscopic details. Natural plant‐based stains have been explored as cost‐effective and safer alternatives to synthetic dyes. Terminalia chebula,
