Compassionate Digital Innovation: A Pluralistic Perspective and Research Agenda

open access: yesInformation Systems Journal, Volume 36, Issue 3, Page 364-385, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Digital innovation offers significant societal, economic and environmental benefits but is also a source of profound harms. Prior information systems (IS) research has often overlooked the ethical tensions involved, framing harms as ‘unintended consequences’ rather than symptoms of deeper systemic problems.

Protistan Predators Outshine Fungi in Forest Soil Activity

open access: yesJournal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Despite extensive research on fungal communities in forest soils, our understanding of the whole eukaryotic diversity and distribution remains limited. Moreover, traditional amplicon sequencing methods often introduce severe PCR and primer biases, further hindering accurate assessment of the microbial community composition in forest soils.

Equipped for success: genomes and metabolomes of the European Amanita muscaria are conserved in its novel South African range

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 3, Page 1863-1883, May 2026.
Summary Plants and soils have been moved around the world for centuries, but invasive mushrooms receive scant attention. The Amanita muscaria species complex was introduced to South Africa in the context of forestry, but its origins, ecology and recent evolution are unstudied. We sequenced the genomes of 24 Northern and Southern Hemisphere A. muscaria,

Evolutionarily Optimal Risk Aversion

open access: yesRisk Analysis, Volume 46, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT In an experimental choice situation, we identify risk‐acceptability thresholds and show how such thresholds are updated in response to benchmark information, a recurrent feature of health, safety, and environmental (HS&E) risk governance. We present a theoretical framework linking the observed behavior to an underlying evolutionary parameter ...
