Hidden Katydid Diversity in Brazil's Drylands: Taxonomy and Phylogenetic Placement of Two New Phaneropterinae Genera (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae:) From Caatinga

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 4, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Tettigoniidae are the most diverse family of Orthoptera, with over 750 species recorded in Brazil. However, arid and semi‐arid environments of northeastern Brazil, dominated by the Caatinga biome, remain poorly studied, with most previous records restricted to Atlantic Forest areas.

Dust Loading Increases During Topsoil Flash Droughts Under Rapid Surface Drying and Vegetation Stress

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract Using satellite‐derived dust optical depth (DOD), reanalysis meteorology, and a global topsoil flash drought (TSFD) inventory for 2003–2022, we find that TSFD events are associated with increased dust loading at the global scale. During TSFD events, 44.7% of land pixels exhibited positive DOD anomalies.

High‐intensity fire and long‐term destocking causes top kill but fails to reverse encroachment and restore biodiversity

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 7, October 2026.
Abstract Woody encroachment is a pervasive threat in grasslands worldwide. Encroachment has proven resilient to many nature‐based interventions, including frequent burning and destocking grazers. A potential solution is high‐intensity fires—or “extreme” fires—which combine high fuel loads with burning under dry windy conditions.

A Statistical Framework for Spatial Boundary Estimation and Change Detection: Application to the Sahel–Sahara Climate Transition

Environmetrics, Volume 37, Issue 7, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Spatial boundaries, such as ecological transitions or climatic regime interfaces, capture steep environmental gradients, and shifts in their structure can signal emerging environmental changes. Quantifying uncertainty in spatial boundary locations and formally testing for temporal shifts remain challenging, especially when boundaries are ...

Examining New Donors in the OECD's Development Assistance Committee

Journal of International Development, Volume 38, Issue 7, Page 1097-1109, October 2026.
ABSTRACT How do emerging donors integrate into the existing international aid architecture? While the existing literature focuses largely on emerging donors from the Global South, such as Brazil, China, India and Russia, there are many emerging donors from the Global North that have joined the OECD's Development Assistance Committee (DAC)—the premier ...

Wheat Wild Relatives and Modern Cultivars Differ for Salt Resistance in Terms of Morpho‐Physiological Traits

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 189, Issue 5, Page 721-734, October 2026.
Wheat wild relatives are untapped genetic resources from salinity and drought hit areas. This study presents differential comparative morphophysiological responses of these species and modern wheat cultivars under saline conditions. Salt resistant species produce more shoot and root biomass under saline conditions through salt exclusion and/or tissue ...
