Phenotypic Cuticle Plasticity at High Elevation: Is Microstructure and Microchemistry Related to Water Permeability?

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 1778-1792, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Kalmia procumbens (K. procumbens), a ubiquitous alpine dwarf shrub, thrives at high elevations, particularly on wind‐exposed sites. Plants on contrasting north‐ and southeast‐facing slopes at ~2237 m elevation exhibit differences in leaf colour and growth, suggesting acclimative strategies.

Fatty acids and glycerides are object recognition and carrying cues for foraging Camponotus modoc carpenter ants

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 29-39, March 2026.
Colour‐coded perlites were treated with specific fatty acids or mono‐, di‐ or triglycerides as perlite pickup cues for laboratory and field colonies of western carpenter ants. In laboratory and field experiments, ant colonies were offered multiple choices of these colour‐coded lipid‐treated perlites for pickup and transport to the nest.

Combined Effects of Air Humidity and Temperature on Biogenic Volatile Organic Compound Emissions and Photosynthesis

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Temperature and air humidity are critical environmental factors regulating photosynthesis and biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) emissions from plants, which influence air quality and climate change. While previous research has demonstrated the impacts of temperature on photosynthesis and BVOCs, the effects of humidity and the combined ...
