On Our Cosmic (In)significance

open access: yesRatio, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article discusses three interpretations of cosmic significance, all of which reveal something important about the notion of significance. Along the way, it proposes a unified view of significance by combining elements of each of the views.

Seed Storage Conditions for Zostera muelleri Restoration: Effects of Temperature, Salinity and Sterilisation on Seed Contamination, Viability and Seedling Emergence

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 4, December 2026.
The decline of seagrass meadows is a continuing global concern, and seed‐based restoration provides a scalable approach to recovering lost and degraded meadows. Such approaches require large quantities of seed to be collected, processed, and often stored for months until deployment.

BerryBox: An affordable computer vision system for postharvest phenotyping of cranberry and other small fruits

open access: yesThe Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Fruit size, shape, color, and percent fruit rot are important quality traits for breeding cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait.). Image analysis can be used to measure these traits, but affordable hardware for standardized image capture and integrated user‐friendly software pipelines are lacking.

Reduction of the Bar Fraction in Paired Galaxies in the SDSS

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We investigate the bar fraction in galaxy pairs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to assess how galaxy interactions affect bar structures. Compared to isolated galaxies, close pairs exhibit a significantly reduced bar fraction at projected separations ...

Genome evolution of Mediterranean olives following DNA repeats diversification

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract The olive tree (Olea europaea L. subsp. europaea) is one of the most representative perennial crops of the Mediterranean Basin, yet the genomic processes underlying its domestication and diversification remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated repeatome variation across 20 accessions, including 11 wild oleasters and nine cultivated ...

Comparing the Spatial Correlation of Binary Black Hole Mergers to Large-scale Structure through the Illustris Simulation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Gravitational waves have provided a new lens through which to view the Universe beyond traditional electromagnetic methods. The upcoming space-based gravitational wave mission, Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), will give us the first glimpse of ...

Kinematic Characteristics of Galaxy Mergers in FIRE

open access: yes, 2017
Galaxy mergers are believed to play a fundamental role in triggering starburts (Sanders & Mirabel 1996) and active galactic nuclei (Canalizo & Stockton 2000).

Ragnarok: A flexible and RApid GeNe annotation (ROcKs) pipeline deployed through Nextflow

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract High‐quality genome assemblies and pan‐genomes are increasingly achievable and accessible due to advances in third‐generation sequencing and assembly algorithms, but genome annotation remains a critical bottleneck. Existing gene annotation pipelines often require complex installations, multiple steps, and long runtimes and produce variable ...

The Origins of Gas Accreted by Supermassive Black Holes: The Importance of Recycled Gas

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We investigate the fueling mechanisms of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) by analyzing 10 zoom-in cosmological simulations of massive galaxies, with stellar masses 10 ^11–12 M _⊙ and SMBH masses 10 ^8.9–9.7 M _⊙ at z = 0, featuring various major and ...

The signature of major mergers on the hydrostatic mass bias of galaxy clusters

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Context. While the masses and abundances of galaxy clusters are key observables for Cosmology, mass determinations based on intra-cluster medium observations often rely on the hydrostatic equilibrium assumption.
