Is resting muscle sympathetic nerve activity related to peripheral or cerebrovascular haemodynamics at high altitude? A retrospective analysis

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract High‐altitude hypoxia elicits several profound physiological responses, including substantial increases in muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA); however, the association of this heightened MSNA with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular haemodynamics remains unclear in lowlanders and indigenous highlander populations.

Eye Darkening Under Dehydration Stress in the Neotropical Frog Boana punctata (Schneider, 1799)

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 8, Page 887-893, October 2026.
Dehydration induces a strong and partially reversible increase in iris pigmentation in the Neotropical frog Boana punctata. The tight relationship between iris darkening and hydration state identifies ocular pigmentation as a simple, non‐invasive physiological biomarker with broad potential for assessing hydric stress in amphibian populations ...

Carbon Accumulation in Tropical Dry Forests and Savannas Despite Widespread Land‐Cover Change, Revealed by Radar Remote Sensing

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 10, October 2026.
We map aboveground carbon density (AGCD) across tropical dry forests and savannas at 100 m for 2015–2024 using ALOS‑2 L‑band radar calibrated with field plots. Aboveground carbon (AGC) stocks total 25.3 ± 2 PgC (13% of global AGC) and net AGC is increasing at 0.43 ± 0.07 PgC yr−1 (20% of the land sink).
