Leveraging Microbes for Sustainable Development Goal 14 Progress

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 4, August 2026.
Microbial systems can contribute to UN Sustainable Development Goal 14: Life Below Water efforts by transforming plastics, removing excess nitrogen, supporting coastal restoration and improving aquaculture sustainability. Advancing these applications requires field‐scale validation, ecological risk assessment and innovative deployment strategies ...

Chemokines in Alzheimer's Disease: Early Defence, Late Damage and the Impact of Sex and Infection

Basic &Clinical Pharmacology &Toxicology, Volume 139, Issue 2, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Chemokines constitute a versatile signalling network maintaining homeostasis and glia–neuron communication in the healthy brain but become progressively dysregulated during aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD). This review examines how chemokine systems transition from tightly regulated homeostatic signals to drivers of chronic neuroinflammation

Reconsidering the role of introduced species in the climate‐affected and highly invaded eastern Mediterranean

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Bioinvasions are considered mostly as a biodiversity and conservation hazard, but in specific situations, introduced species can bring ecological or socioeconomic benefits. We assessed the social–ecological role of marine introduced species in the eastern Mediterranean Sea—a global hotspot of bioinvasions and extirpations—and their potential ...

Challenges for Small Island Developing States in meeting monitoring requirements of the Kunming‐Montréal global biodiversity framework

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
The Kunming Montréal Global Biodiversity Framework adopted by Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity is an ambitious agreement to halt the decline of the world's biodiversity by 2030 and restore nature by 2050. Small Island Developing States face particular challenges in the availability of data, access to existing data and data management ...

Genetic Implications of Plant Sourcing Strategies for Salt Marsh Restoration

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Ecosystem restoration aims to recreate the ecological structure, processes, and function of a reference native ecosystem. The structure and composition of restored ecosystems often differ from natural ecosystems, at least in part due to human decisions about which ecosystem characteristics and functions to prioritize.

The Effects of Microplastics and Additives on Ecosystem Function, Structure, and Signaling

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Microplastics disrupt ecosystem signaling through olfactory traps, altering predator–prey signaling and disrupting microbial communication and quorum sensing. ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) and their associated chemical additives are pervasive contaminants whose ecological impacts extend beyond organismal toxicity to fundamentally alter ecosystem ...

The Structure of Spinels: A Quantitative Assessment of the AB2X4 Family

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Compounds with the general formula AB2X4 crystallize with the atomic structure of the mineral spinel, MgAl2O4, described by three degrees of freedom: lattice parameter a, anion parameter u, and cation inversion parameter λ. Here, bond valence sum validation of 1244 ambient structures (338 compositions, 1915–2025) from the Inorganic Crystal ...
