Public Engagement in the Design of Urban Blue‐Green Infrastructure: Contrasting Approaches and Project Outcomes in Ōtautahi Christchurch

New Zealand Geographer, Volume 82, Issue 3, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Although blue‐green infrastructure (BGI) is increasingly used to mitigate the challenges that climate change poses for cities, public involvement in its design is uneven. Here we examine three BGI projects in Ōtautahi Christchurch, Aotearoa New Zealand, documenting how local communities and mana whenua were engaged in their design and the ...

AFFECT, AUTOFICTION, PARODY: NEGOTIATING IMPLICATION IN CHRISTIAN KRACHT'S EUROTRASH AND MAXIM BILLER'S DER FALSCHE GRUẞ

German Life and Letters, Volume 79, Issue 4, Page 557-579, October 2026.
Abstract Christian Kracht's assertion that everything that takes itself too seriously is ripe for parody frames this analysis of Eurotrash (2021) and Maxim Biller's Der falsche Gruß (2021), novels in which the postmemory generation navigates inherited legacies of violence, injustice and abuse, as well as of wealth and privilege.

Beyond the Classics: The Synergy of AI and Genomics Reveals an Expanded Repertoire of Pigmentation Genes

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 346, Issue 6, Page 475-486, September 2026.
Classical approaches for coloration analysis are limited by human low‐resolution phenotyping and genetic analysis. Artificial intelligence allows us to find genes beyond the tip of the iceberg that explain color and pattern diversity in nature. ABSTRACT Pigmentation has long served as a powerful system for exploring gene–trait relationships, yet much ...

Dihydrotestosterone Promotes Hetian Sheep Dermal Papilla Cell Proliferation by Inhibiting the TGF‐β/Smad Signalling Pathway

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
This study successfully isolated Dermal Papilla Cells (DPCs) from Hetian sheep and established a stable in vitro culture system for these cells. It was found that androgens promote the proliferation of Hetian sheep DPCs by inhibiting the expression of genes in the TGF‐β/Smad signalling pathway, thereby influencing hair follicle development. Furthermore,

Genetic Parameters and Genome‐Wide Association Studies for Fertility and Reproduction Traits in U.S. Katahdin Sheep Based on the Single‐Step GBLUP Methodology

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 5, Page 625-638, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Sheep production contributes to a secure and diverse food and fibre supply in the United States, with growing ethnic diversity strengthening demand. Katahdin is a composite hair‐type sheep breed developed in the United States that has become the most popular breed in many regions of the country and the first one to have genomic selection ...

Livestock Depredations and Prevention Strategies to Foster Human‐Carnivore Coexistence in Western Mongolia's High Mountain Systems

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
The implementation of visual deterrents (i.e., Foxlights) proved to be effective in reducing the number of night‐time livestock depredations by both snow leopards and wolves. ABSTRACT The decline of large carnivores and the overabundance of livestock practices contribute significantly to ecosystem degradation.

Terrestrial Poor Ecohealth Areas Continue to Expand Across Asian Drylands

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The 7th Rio declaration principle emphasizes global collaboration to protect and restore ecosystem health. While dryland ecosystem health (EH) remains critical to global sustainability agendas, its long‐term regional dynamics remain poorly constrained across the Asian drylands (AD), where land management decisions increasingly shape ecological
