Insolvency‐related foreign judgements in Nigeria: Contextualising English legal influence and comparative analysis of the UNCITRAL regime

International Insolvency Review, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 260-288, Spring 2026.
Abstract The United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) has produced the most robust international insolvency regime applicable to countries around the world. The Model Law on Cross‐Border Insolvency (1997) is widely accepted and already very popular among African countries.

Wing and Pappus Appendages Decrease Seed Terminal Velocity: A Meta‐Analysis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This meta‐analysis integrated terminal velocity records for 1479 species from various sources and explored descriptive patterns by taxonomic group, seed dispersal vector, and seed appendage type. This study revealed that wing and pappus appendage decrease seed terminal velocity with a robust analysis using regression models to predict terminal velocity.

Intraspecific and environmental variation mediate seed finding effectiveness among scatter‐hoarding small mammals

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract About half of all plant species rely on animals such as scatter‐hoarding small mammals for seed dispersal. These plants include many keystone species for which small mammals are key primary and secondary dispersal agents as well as seed predators.

Total herbivore exclusion alters plant species dominance and trait expression in endangered grassy woodlands

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Herbivores are important drivers of plant community composition and dominance in grassy ecosystems, yet few studies have attempted to understand how different types of herbivores impact plant dominance and function. This study examined the biomass of dominant grass species and other plant functional groups after 3 years of nested herbivore ...

Seasonal Variation of the Effects of Phylogenetic Relatedness and Functional Similarity Among Heterospecific Neighbors and Habitat on Seedling Survival in a Subtropical Forest in Gaoligong Mountains, Southwest China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Based on seedling dynamic data from a subtropic forest in Southwest China, we found phylogenetic negative density dependence (PNDD) and functional negative density dependence (FNDD) on seedling survival in the rainy season, but not in the dry season.

Edaphic effects on forest structure and tree species composition in three seasonally dry tropical forest types in Cambodia

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.
Soil conditions are critical factors shaping forest structure and tree species composition in seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTFs); however, few studies have evaluated edaphic effects in Cambodia's unique lowland forest landscape, where different forest types coexist under similar climatic conditions.

Integrated demographic strategies are more strongly associated with variation in conspecific density dependence than single traits in tropical tree seedlings

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
Species‐specific conspecific negative density dependence (CNDD) varied widely among tropical tree species. CNDD was strongest in fast‐growing species and tall, long‐lived pioneers, weakly related to most functional traits except wood density and strongest in rare species. These results show that integrated life‐history strategies explain CNDD variation

Contrast in Mycorrhizal Associations Leads to Divergent Rhizosphere Metabolomes and Plant–Soil Feedback Among Grassland Species

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 2, February 2026.
Most terrestrial plants are colonised by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi but vary in the degree to which they benefit from and depend on these fungi. Here we show that plants can make the interaction with mycorrhizal fungi more beneficial to themselves by regulating the chemical composition of organic compounds released by plant roots into the soil ...

Validation of a candidate international harmonisation protocol‐compliant measurement procedure for reticulocyte counting using an erythrocyte gating strategy excluding the platelet component

Cytometry Part B: Clinical Cytometry, Volume 110, Issue 1, Page 47-56, January 2026.
Abstract The International Harmonisation Protocol (IHP) for Reticulocyte Percentage (%Retic) in CLSI‐H44‐A2 is a microscopic procedure performed on a new‐methylene‐blue‐stained blood film (NMB‐IHP). However, IHP‐compliant Measurement Procedures (MPs) based on flow cytometry (FCM) are recommended for practical and accurately assigned reference values ...
