Environmental factors affect the condition of critically endangered freshwater pearl mussels by disrupting terrestrial–aquatic resource connectivity

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
This regional‐scale field study shows that critically threatened freshwater pearl mussels rely substantially on terrestrial organic matter, indicating strong connectivity between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. However, human pressures at the catchment scale reduced this resource connectivity.

Secondary Somatosensory Cortex Is Required for Learning but Not Execution of a Tactile Discrimination

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 63, Issue 3, February 2026.
The relationship between primary somatosensory cortex (S1) and secondary somatosensory cortex (S2) during learning is not clear. Here, we show that when confronted with a texture discrimination using the whiskers, S2 is required during learning but not after learning.

Thylakoids reorganization enables driving photosynthesis under far‐red light in the microalga Nannochloropsis gaditana

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 1785-1799, February 2026.
Summary Oxygenic photosynthesis is driven by visible light in most photosynthetic organisms, with exceptions in a few cyanobacteria and microalgae species, which can extend the light absorption to far‐red (FR) wavelengths, by synthesizing new pigments or shifting the antennae absorption range beyond 700 nm.

Are All Blue Stragglers Ap Stars?

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1976
SummaryA list of open clusters with blue stragglers studied for Ap characteristics is presented. In addition to previously published results new spectroscopic data are given of blue stragglers in the open cluster IC 4756 derived from ESO spectrograms taken in 1973. Preliminary conclusions concerning the status of Ap stars and blue stragglers are drawn.

Predictions of gravity mode pulsations of collisional blue straggler stars in globular clusters

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Blue straggler stars (BSSs) are exotic objects, which, being the results of processes such as mass transfer, mergers, or collisions, are considered key objects in the study of their host clusters' dynamics.

The “dynamical clock”: dating the internal dynamical evolution of star clusters with Blue Straggler Stars

Rendiconti Lincei SCIENZE FISICHE E NATURALI, 2020
We discuss the observational properties of a special class of objects (the so-called “Blue Straggler Stars”, BSSs) in the framework of using this stellar population as probe of the dynamical processes occurring in high-density stellar systems.
