Thermogenesis‐derived spatiotemporal microclimates guide pollinator movement to ensure pollination

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Alocasia odora's microclimatic heterogeneity guides Colocasiomyia fly movement within its inflorescence. During the female stage, midday heat in the upper spadix pushes flies down to the cooler female zone. During the male stage, nocturnal warmth in the upper part pulls flies upward and spathe constriction closes the lower female chamber.

Assessing mature and immature collagen in tonsillar tissue using second harmonic generation microscopy

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Recurrent tonsillitis (RT) and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) are major indications for tonsillectomy, yet their tissue‐level pathology remains unclear. Recurrent inflammation in RT may induce collagen remodelling through excess extracellular matrix deposition.

Hydraulic Activation of Stomata Induced by Hygroscopic Fertilizer Salts Alters Crop Carbon–Water Exchange: Field Evidence From Cereal Crops

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydraulic activation of stomata (HAS), driven by hygroscopic salt films on leaf surfaces, can create an additional pathway for water loss beyond conventional stomatal vapour diffusion, yet this process remains largely overlooked in studies of plant–atmosphere interactions.

Circadian regulation of reproduction and neoblast cell division in the catenulid flatworm Stenostomum virginianum (Platyhelminthes)

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
The circadian clock and melatonin coordinate homeostasis in many animals, yet their influence on reproduction and neoblast proliferation has only been shown in triclads. This study demonstrates that the early‐branching catenulid Stenostomum virginianum contains photoreceptive refractile bodies, synthesizes endogenous melatonin, and that exogenous ...

CrustCheck: a conceptual framework for interpreting biocrust trait–function relationships in drylands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Biocrusts are increasingly recognized for their contribution to soil stability, hydrology, nutrient cycling, and energy balance in drylands, yet practical field methods for assessing functional roles are limited. Existing approaches typically rely on cover estimates, taxonomic identification, or laboratory analyses, providing ...

Biocrust restoration in novel climates: assisted migration, habitat amelioration, and varied community composition as climate‐smart techniques

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Successful restoration of terrestrial drylands depends on stable, fertile soils that retain water. These functions are provided by biological soil crusts (biocrust), suggesting their reestablishment is a critical step in dryland restoration.

A climate‐sensitive tropical urbanism under extreme heat†

Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography, EarlyView.
Tropical urban dwellers face twin climate challenges that impinge on their quality of life: climate overheating and the urban heat island (UHI). The latter superimposed on the former to lead to high levels of thermal discomfort, carbon and energy consequences.

There Is More Than Meets the Eye: The Dual Role of Perception in Shaping Color Lexicons

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Color's ultimate physical reality is continuous, and yet human beings “cut” this continuum into a rather small number of categories reflected in their languages’ color lexicon. There are striking cross‐linguistic differences in the color lexicon, which are primarily attributed to differences in communicative needs, but also striking ...

Optimizing light spectra for soybean cultivation in controlled environments: Effects on plant growth, flowering, seed production, and seed quality

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 3, November 2026.
Cultivating soybean in a controlled environment enables precise control of growth conditions to accelerate breeding and enhance desirable traits. This study tested four LED spectra on two soybean varieties (CZ 75 70LL and S16‐14801C). The 40B:40R:20FR spectrum increased seed number by over 10% and seed weight by 20%, while both 50B:50R and 40B:40R:20FR

A mosaic of microclimates: biodiversity outcomes and wildlife habitat potential in large‐scale solar facilities

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2158-2171, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The rapid global expansion of photovoltaic (PV) solar facilities, now comprising nearly 80% of the recent and projected growth of renewable electricity, represents one of the most significant land‐use changes of the 21st century. While PV facilities are critical for decarbonising energy systems, their large spatial footprint and infrastructure
