Impacts of Climate Change on Food Security: Land Management–Based Strategies Within a Nature‐Based Solutions Framework

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change poses serious threats to food security by affecting agricultural production processes in multiple ways. This study aims to analyze land management–based solution strategies that can be developed in response to this threat and presents a systematic and holistic framework through the relationship these strategies establish with ...

From Photons to Persistent Memory: Optically Controlled Trap Engineering Enables Secure, Hierarchical Optical Storage

National Materials, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates a novel optical storage method using a tailored electron‐trapping phosphor, MgGeO3:Mn,Yb,Eu. Up‐conversion charging enables high‐resolution writing via two‐photon ionization, whereas trap engineering uses ambient light to shift electrons between traps.

Floral fortification: Post-harvest strategies for enhancing flower longevity

Plant Science Today
Due to their perishable nature, the floriculture industry faces significant challenges in preserving the freshness and quality of cut flowers post-harvest. Traditional preservation methods are often inadequate for maintaining flowers' aesthetic and biological value during storage and transport.

Ophiorrhiza jomyi (Rubiaceae) sp. nov. from the Vagamon Hills, southern Western Ghats, India

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
A new species of Ophiorrhiza (Rubiaceae)is identified and described from the Vagamon hills of Kerala, Western Ghats, India. The new species is similar to Ophiorrhiza eriantha Wight and Ophiorrhiza meenachilarensis Robi and Balan, but differs in having densely hirsute hairs on young stem, petiole and peduncle; patent hirsute hairs on, above and beneath ...

The Causes and Consequences of Within-Population Variation in Floral Longevity in Mimulus guttatus

International Journal of Plant Sciences
Premise of research. Floral longevity, the amount of time from anthesis to floral senescence, is a key floral trait that determines the opportunity for pollinator visitation. However, the causes and consequences of variation in longevity have primarily been studied among species, which may not reflect patterns of variation within populations ...

Additions to the Acanthaceae of the Flora of Tropical East Africa: two new species from northern Kenya

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
The new species Barleria kulalensis I.Darbysh. & Q.Luke and Dicliptera huriensis I.Darbysh. & Q.Luke are described and illustrated and their extinction risk is assessed provisionally. The former is based on Barleria sp. G of the Flora of Tropical East Africa (FTEA), with recent field observation and collection of this species from the foothills of ...

Clinical Applications of Multimodal Artificial Intelligence in Otolaryngology: A State‐of‐the‐Art Review

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Artificial intelligence (AI) has advanced to simultaneously process visual, auditory, and textual inputs, providing users with “multimodal” AI. Given the clinical integration potential of these tools, otolaryngologists must stay informed. This study reviews current literature on applications of multimodal AI in otolaryngology.

Ecological significance of fruit displays in Myrtaceae: relationship between fruit colour, maturation stage, attractiveness and seed germination

Oikos, EarlyView.
Fruit colour has long fascinated scientists and is widely considered an evolutionary adaptation to attract both avian and mammalian frugivores. While fleshy fruits play a key role in plant–animal interactions by promoting seed dispersal, the functional significance of colour variation, particularly multicoloured displays during ripening, remains poorly

Floral stems longevity of Oncidium baueri kept in preservative solutions

Comunicata Scientiae, 2016
Orchids have been gaining prominence in the cut flower market due to the exoticism and the singular beauty of its flowers. However, techniques which help to keep the floral quality are needed, since the commercial success is tied to the flowers longevity after cut.

Cotton facilitates long‐distance seed dispersal by functioning as nest material for birds

Oikos, EarlyView.
Cotton (Cossypium) fibres, which grow naturally in bolls around the seeds of cotton plants, have been used for centuries to produce fabric. The presumed natural function of cotton is that these lightweight and fluffy fibres may support wind dispersal of the seeds inside.
