Multifunctional Properties of Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) Essential Oil: Antimicrobial, Antibiofilm, and Insecticidal Effects

open access: yesFlavour and Fragrance Journal, Volume 41, Issue 5, Page 1245-1261, September 2026.
Unveiling the potential of Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) essential oil. ABSTRACT This study investigated the antimicrobial, antibiofilm, and insecticidal properties of wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens L.) essential oil (GPEO). The EO was chemically characterized by GC–MS, confirming methyl salicylate as the predominant compound (99.3%).

Increasing Respiration Weakens the Carbon Sink Over Two Decades in a Temperate Deciduous Forest

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
Using a 20‐year eddy covariance record from a temperate deciduous forest, we show that net carbon uptake declined over two decades. Both the trend and interannual variability in net carbon exchange were respiration driven, with warming winters and increasing late‐summer diffuse light driving the trend in respiration.

Range‐wide sampling reveals cryptic lineages but largely conserved mycorrhizal associations in the Japanese fairy lantern Thismia kobensis

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1407-1418, September 2026.
The jewel‐like flowers of Thismia are as rare as they are beautiful, often recorded from only a single site per species. Access to 15 populations of T. kobensis has enabled an uncommon, range‐wide assessment of morphology, genetics, and fungal partners. Our analyses showed that T.

Using dendroclimatic analysis of exotic deciduous conifers in an arboretum to document tree growth in response to climate change, Northeast Ohio, USA

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1746-1762, September 2026.
Rising temperatures and wetter conditions in the Midcontinent of North America are influencing climate responses in trees. Dendroclimatological analyses of four exotic deciduous conifer species from Secrest Arboretum, Northeast Ohio help identify past, present and future climate‐tree interactions.

Actionable visualization principles and guidance for a foundational university data science course

open access: yesTeaching Statistics, Volume 48, Issue S1, Page S122-S135, Summer 2026.
Abstract When teaching how to describe and apply good practices for visualizing data, we need to define “good”. Several sets of guidelines about good visualization practice exist in the literature and online, though each set focuses on different aspects of visualization and their level ranges from very general to very specific.

Clonal Expansion Accounts for Most Post‐Disturbance Proliferation of a Dominant Temperate Liana, Wisteria floribunda, Across a Fragmented Forest Landscape

open access: yesPlant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.
Across all sampled ramets in a fragmented forest landscape, 83% were clonal, indicating that clonal expansion accounted for most of the present population structure of Wisteria floribunda. Compared with a continuous old‐growth forest, the fragmented forest showed substantially greater clonal dominance and spatial coverage by genets.

Consistent Buzz‐Pollination Posture Suggests Division of Labour Between Dimorphic Stamens in Bredia hirsuta (Melastomataceae) on Okinawa‐Jima Island, Japan

open access: yesPlant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.
Bredia hirsuta, a small pollen flower, is buzz‐pollinated by Amegilla dulcifera in a posture separating ventral gripping from dorsal stigma contact. The bee grips short‐stamen ventrally, while the stigma contacts the dorsal abdomen near long‐stamen anther tips.

Effects of Temperature Peaks and Water Stress on Tropical Seed Germination: Experimental Trials With Species From Brazil's Northeastern Coastal Zone

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the effects of high temperatures and water deficit on germination provides valuable insights into seed stress tolerance, guiding the use of native seeds in ecological restoration. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of (1) temperature peaks and (2) water stress treatments and post‐stress recovery on the germination of some ...

Frequency of arboreality is correlated with longer hand skeletons in Gorilla: Analysis of a new skeletal sample of Bwindi mountain gorillas

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 3, Page 544-564, September 2026.
Variation in arboreality across gorilla populations is associated with systematic differences in manual digital lengths. Using a new dataset of linear metrics from the Bwindi mountain gorillas, we quantify metacarpal and phalangeal lengths in eastern and western gorilla populations across all five rays. Consistent with quantified behavioral differences,
