Integrating Environmental DNA Into Early Detection Efforts for an Invasive Terrestrial Beetle

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
This research demonstrates how eDNA methods can improve upon traditional survey techniques for detection of a harmful terrestrial invasive pest, the coconut rhinoceros beetle (Oryctes rhinoceros). Our findings here show promise for applications of eDNA methods to detect a myriad of destructive invasive species in terrestrial landscapes.

Global Comparison of Aqueous Geochemistry and Dissolved H2/CH4 in Continental Low Temperature Serpentinization–Influenced Environments

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 3, March 2026.
Conceptual diagram of hydrological and geochemical processes within the Santa Elena Ophiolite, Costa Rica. It highlights watershed cross‐sections, soil genesis, hyperalkaline Type II waters (pH > 11.6) with calcite crust and trapped H2/CH4 gases, seepage into surface waters, storm‐impacted stream profiles, weathered vs.

A combinatorial approach to angiosperm pollen morphology [PDF]

, 2016
Angiosperms (flowering plants) are strikingly diverse. This is clearly expressed in the morphology of their pollen grains, which are characterized by enormous variety in their shape and patterning.

Carbon‐based materials from renewable sources: Challenges and perspectives with a focus on green coconut

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 477-493, March 2026.
Abstract This article presents a comprehensive examination of agricultural production, biomass generation, and its transformation into biochar, with a particular emphasis on green coconut waste as a primary resource. It underscores the link between agriculture and substantial biomass output, shedding light on the ecological issues associated with solid

The Cocos and Carnegie Aseismic Ridges: a Trace Element Record of Long-term Plume-Spreading Center Interaction [PDF]

, 2004
The aseismic Cocos and Carnegie Ridges, two prominent bathymetric features in the eastern Pacific, record ∼20 Myr of interaction between the Galápagos hotspot and the adjacent Galápagos Spreading Center.

A First Inventory of the Lichens of Mangaia, and an Updated Checklist for the Cook Islands

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.
A first checklist is provided for the lichenised fungi of Mangaia. Based on field work undertaken during November 2024, when 144 collections were made over a 5‐day period, 66 species are recognised from Mangaia, including 43 new national records for the Cook Islands. A number of the new records reported here for Mangaia are first reports for islands of

Coconut Leaf Age and Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle Herbivory Influence Leaflet Nutrients, Metals, and Lignin

Horticulturae, 2018
The coconut rhinoceros beetle (CRB, Oryctes rhinoceros L.) is a serious pest of coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) in many tropical regions, however the influences of CRB herbivory on the coconut leaf chemistry are unknown.

An Evaluation of Proposed Mechanisms of Slab Flattening in Central Mexico [PDF]

, 2010
Central Mexico is the site of an enigmatic zone of flat subduction. The general geometry of the subducting slab has been known for some time and is characterized by a horizontal zone bounded on either side by two moderately dipping sections.

Plate Interactions and Mantle Flows Beneath the Caribbean and Adjacent Regions Revealed by P‐Wave Anisotropic Tomography

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract We determine the first P‐wave azimuthal and radial anisotropy tomography beneath the Caribbean and its adjacent regions. The Cocos and Atlantic Plates are imaged as high‐velocity (high‐V) zones down to ∼1,600 km depth and they have subducted independently beneath the Caribbean Plate.
