Ionospheric Vertical Plasma Drifts Over South America: Long‐Term Multi‐Instrument Observations and TIEGCM and WACCM‐X Evaluations

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract We present the first comprehensive multi‐instrument climatological study of quiet‐time equatorial F‐region vertical plasma drifts across South America, a region where the magnetic declination angle varies significantly. Our analysis of well‐established long‐term ground‐based data sets from the Jicamarca incoherent scatter radar spanning 1968 ...

Presumption of Patent Validity and Litigation Incentives

open access: yesJournal of Public Economic Theory, Volume 28, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT We analyze the effects of the presumption of patent validity on litigation incentives and outcomes. We develop a litigation game between a patent holder and an alleged infringing firm. A court resolves the dispute if there is a trial. We model the court's decision‐making as a learning process based on evidence and consider the presumption as a

Arthropods on native versus alien woody plants: Understanding variation across host plant taxonomy and geography

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Alien plants have generally been shown to support reduced arthropod abundance, biomass, and diversity compared to native plant species, but inferences have typically come from studies limited in taxonomic and geographic scope. Here, we make use of data from a unique citizen science project, Caterpillars Count!, that consists of nearly 70,000 ...

Microfluidic paper based membraneless biofuel cell to harvest energy from various beverages

open access: yesJournal of Electrochemical Science and Engineering, 2019
The present work establishes the cost-effective and miniature microfluidic self-pumping paper based enzymatic biofuel cell (P-EBFC). The developed Y-shaped P-EBFC consists of buckeye composite multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) buckypaper (BP) based bio ...

Community science data suggests that urbanization and forest habitat loss threaten aphidophagous native lady beetles

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Community scientists have illustrated rapid declines of several aphidophagous lady beetle (Coccinellidae) species. These declines coincide with the establishment of alien coccinellids.

Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a stronger inhibitor of overwintering dormancy than urban warming in mosquitoes

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Low intensities of warm white ALAN were a stronger inhibitor of diapause initiation than urban warming, indicating that changes in brightness or light colour may not be sufficient to mitigate ecological impacts and ALAN from common sources can extend seasonal mosquito biting activity and reproduction into late autumn.

The Inclusion Trade‐Off: Comparing the Design and Functionality of Collaborative Governance Forums

open access: yesPolicy Studies Journal, Volume 54, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Environmental challenges require collaboration across jurisdictions, often through forums or intermediary spaces for repeated interaction. A persistent forum design question concerns inclusion criteria, or which actors should be included.

Stub Length and Stub Angle Did Not Influence Renewal Shoot Number or Branch Angle of Tall Spindle ‘Gala’/Malling 9 Apple Trees

open access: yesHortTechnology, 2019
Renewal of limbs by pruning to leave a short, angled, upward-facing stub is common practice for spindle-type apple (Malus ×domestica) training systems. A short, beveled stub cut is thought to stimulate renewal growth from latent buds present underneath ...
