Drought‐driven lipid deficits in overwintering monarch butterflies revealed by δ2H and fatty acid analysis

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Eastern populations of monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) overwinter in the central trans‐volcanic belt of Mexico, relying primarily on lipids accumulated during migration to sustain this several‐month‐long overwintering period. This study shows how drought conditions in north‐central Mexico influenced lipid dynamics in monarchs ...

Non‐Equilibrium Plasma Treatment of Fast‐Flowing Liquids as a Tool for the Elimination of Ichthyophthirius multifiliis in Recirculating Aquaculture Systems

Plasma Processes and Polymers, Volume 23, Issue 3, March 2026.
Water contaminated with live fish parasite Ichthyophthirius multifiliis was plasma‐treated and added to tanks with healthy fish. After 6 days, no infection was detected in fish receiving treated water. Plasma treatment effectively prevented disease development, highlighting its promising potential as an environmentally friendly water sanitation ...

Comparison of Reactor Concepts for the Direct Plasma Treatment of Seeds of Different Species

Plasma Processes and Polymers, Volume 23, Issue 3, March 2026.
Plasma reactor comparison demonstrated that treating rapeseed, lupine, and faba bean with distinct reactors increased seed‑coat wettability, with effects persisting for months. However, no single reactor excelled universally; optimal choice depends on seed properties, treatment goals, and throughput, validating plasma as a sustainable alternative to ...

Potential Impacts of Climate Interventions on Marine Ecosystems

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Rising global temperatures pose significant risks to marine ecosystems, biodiversity, and fisheries. Recent comprehensive assessments suggest that large‐scale mitigation efforts to limit warming are falling short, and all feasible future climate projections, including those that represent optimistic emissions reductions, exceed the Paris ...

Large‐scale reproductive loss in sheep due to Border disease virus infection, New South Wales, Australia

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 104, Issue 3, Page 137-149, March 2026.
Border disease viruses (BDV) and bovine viral diarrhoea viruses (BVDV) are members of the Pestivirus genus in the family Flaviviridae. While BVDV is one of the most significant endemic viral infections of cattle in Australia, BDV infection is generally considered to be uncommon in Australian sheep.

Analysis of a segmentation approach to breeder blanket design and the utilisation of FLiBe as a novel neutron reflector

Nuclear Fusion
Tritium production in a fusion reactor is essential for a deuterium-tritium burning plasma source, and designing a lithium-containing breeder blanket is crucial for a closed fuel cycle in an electricity-to-grid power plant.

In‐Field Evaluation of Triticum spelta and Triticum aestivum Performance Under Contrasting Irrigation Regimes and Farming Systems: Impact on Yield, Grain Quality and Soil Microbiota

Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Volume 212, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Drought is a major abiotic stress affecting crop yields worldwide. Similarly, organic practices have been reported to enhance soil health and microbial diversity, influencing crop growth and yield. Given its drought tolerance, spelt (Triticum spelta) has been proposed as a resilient alternative to wheat (Triticum aestivum).
