Advancing Environmental DNA Methods for Monitoring the Reproduction of Quagga and Zebra Mussels in Lakes

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Invasive alien mussels threaten freshwater ecosystems worldwide by disrupting food webs and nutrient cycling. The effective monitoring of these populations is therefore essential to assess their spread and ecological impacts. This study demonstrates the applicability of environmental DNA (eDNA) methods to monitor the reproductive periods of ...

Land Cover Change in the Andes of Southern Ecuador—Patterns and Drivers

Remote Sensing, 2015
In the megadiverse tropical mountain forest in the Andes of southern Ecuador, a global biodiversity hotspot, the use of fire to clear land for cattle ranching is leading to the invasion of an aggressive weed, the bracken fern, which is threatening ...

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1582-1605, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

High Resprouting of Plants Within 16 Months of Wildfire in a Dry Grassland in Aotearoa New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Wildfires are projected to increase in severity and frequency in dryland ecosystems due to climate change. To predict how plant communities will respond to these changes in wildfire patterns, it is vital to understand how plants establish following fire; such knowledge is limited in Aotearoa New Zealand.

The quantum Casimir operators of $\Uq$ and their eigenvalues

, 2010
We show that the quantum Casimir operators of the quantum linear group constructed in early work of Bracken, Gould and Zhang together with one extra central element generate the entire center of $\Uq$.

Dwelling in a post‐fallout landscape: re‐shaping and sustaining life in a former evacuation zone in Fukushima Habiter après la catastrophe : redonner forme au monde et entretenir la vie dans une ancienne zone évacuée à Fukushima

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 32, Issue 2, Page 434-455, June 2026.
This article explores the activities of daily life in a village neighbouring the TEPCO nuclear power plant in Fukushima. It argues that one of the potentials of taking a dwelling perspective – a phenomenological approach to living within the ecological and social environments – emerges most compellingly within a polluted landscape.

Immunosenescence and Vaccine Efficacy in Aging: Dynamic Interplay of Gut Microbiota and mTOR Signaling Pathways

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 6, June 2026.
Aging impairs vaccine efficacy through gut microbiota dysbiosis and mTOR hyperactivation, which together drive inflammaging and weaken immune memory. This review highlights the bidirectional microbiota–mTOR axis and proposes that combining mTOR inhibitors with microbiota modulation offers a promising strategy to enhance vaccine responses in older ...
