Host plant use is driven by microclimate not nutritional quality in a grassland butterfly

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 690-702, August 2026.
Small Copper butterflies (Lycaena phlaeas) choose to lay eggs on host plants growing in warmer microclimates, despite lower nitrogen content. Bare ground created by European Moles increases host plant temperatures and weakens the negative relationship between nitrogen content and microclimatic warmth.

Revised methodology for CO₂ and CH₄ measurements at remote sites using a working standard-gas-saving system [PDF]

Atmospheric Measurement Techniques
We have revised a calculation method of mole fractions and uncertainties for in situ CO2 and CH4 measurements with a working standard-gas-saving system. It uses on-site compressed air to track the baseline drift of sensors. The Japan–Russia Siberian Tall

Tall fescue performance in response to natural organic and synthetic granular fertilizers and Rhizoctonia solani inoculation

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Repeated applications of natural organic based fertilizers can benefit soil health and potentially suppress some turfgrass diseases. One of the major summer diseases affecting many lawns is brown patch (caused by various Rhizoctonia and Rhizoctonia‐like species).

Field‐Validated Predictive Model for Strain Modulus of Dispersive Clay Stabilized With a Waste Calcium Composite for Sustainable Subgrade Design

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.
A field‐validated predictive model accurately estimates the strain modulus of waste calcium composite‐stabilized dispersive clay. The model provides a reliable, sustainable, and cost‐effective tool for subgrade design, reducing dependence on extensive field testing while improving pavement performance.

The impact of differences in retrieval algorithms between processing centers on GNSS radio occultation refractivity retrievals in the planetary boundary layer [PDF]

Atmospheric Measurement Techniques
Global Navigation Satellite System radio occultation (GNSS RO) performance in the planetary boundary layer is strongly dependent on retrieval algorithms. In this work, we characterize differences in refractivity retrievals in the planetary boundary layer

Curating the Unexpected: Stéphane Thidet's “Weeping Stones” Transformed During COVID‐19

Curator: The Museum Journal, Volume 69, Issue 3, Page 437-447, July 2026.
ABSTRACT A monumental work by French artist Stéphane Thidet became the nexus for an unexpected interaction between an art installation and wildlife. “Weeping Stones,” which presents a desert‐like world, devoid of greenery, was featured in an exhibition we co‐curated at the Genia Schreiber University Gallery, Tel Aviv, Israel, in January 2020.

Greenhouse gas measurement campaign of the Earth Summit Mission-2022: ground-based in situ and FTIR observations and contribution to satellite validation in the Qomolangma region [PDF]

Atmospheric Measurement Techniques
The Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (QTP) is a key system that impacts the global carbon balance, but greenhouse gas (GHG) mole fraction measurements in this region are limited due to the tough environment.

Under the Shade of a Coolabah Tree: A Second Cache of Tulas From the Boulia District, Western Queensland

Archaeology in Oceania, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 39-54, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper reports on the excavation of a cache of stone artefacts, buried on the bank of a waterhole or ‘billabong’ in central western Queensland. This is an extremely rare find, and yet it is the second such site to be reported within less than a 10 km radius.

Continuous chemical characterization of ultrafine particulate matter (PM_0.1) [PDF]

Atmospheric Measurement Techniques
Ultrafine particles (diameter of less than 100 nm) are primary suspects for enhanced negative health effects on humans. Measuring the chemical composition and physical properties of ultrafine particles online, continuously, and accurately is particularly
