The enduring power of social context: Pre‐war contact opportunity amplifies the effects of post‐war contact

open access: yesBritish Journal of Social Psychology, Volume 65, Issue 3, July 2026.
Abstract Intergroup contact is one of the most established approaches for improving relations between adversary groups in conflict settings; yet little is known about whether its effects might be shaped by the social context. In this paper, we examine whether pre‐war contact opportunity with the adversary group shapes the relationship between post‐war ...

Spatiotemporal Modeling and Composite Indices for Pandemic Preparedness: A Novel Geospatial‐Temporal Approach

open access: yesGeographical Analysis, Volume 58, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This study proposes a geographically and temporally weighted random forest (GTWRF) model for explanatory spatiotemporal analysis of COVID‐19 outcomes. GTWRF extends the conventional geographically weighted random forest by incorporating spatial and temporal dependencies through an adaptive Gaussian weighting scheme.

Behavioural and fitness effects of experimental immune activation during incubation in a wild passerine

open access: yesIbis, Volume 168, Issue 3, Page 934-949, July 2026.
Incubation is vital for avian embryo development but demands significant parental investment, potentially at the cost of self‐maintenance and immune function. For example, the acute phase response (APR), a systemic reaction against inflammation, infection or tissue injury, can trigger sickness behaviours such as reduced activity and foraging.

Dwarf Minke Whale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) Mother and Calf Ecology in East and Southern Australia

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Knowledge of mother–calf pairs, migratory patterns, female reproductive cycles, and birth‐year calf development are all essential for understanding risks in these critical life stages and monitoring little‐known dwarf minke whale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) populations.

Seeing herbaria in a new light: leaf reflectance spectroscopy unlocks trait and classification modeling in plant biodiversity collections

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 2, Page 811-829, July 2026.
Summary Reflectance spectroscopy is a rapid method for estimating traits and discriminating species. Spectral libraries from herbarium specimens represent an untapped resource for generating broad phenomic datasets across space, time, and taxa. We conducted a proof‐of‐concept study using trait data and spectra from herbarium specimens up to 179 yr old,

Pd‐Catalyzed Cyclotrimerization and Cycloaddition of 5,6‐Didehydrobenzo[8]annulenes (BenzoCOTynes): Formation of Nonplanar Tri[8]annulenes and Diels–Alder Cycloadducts

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Organic Chemistry, Volume 29, Issue 23, 16 June 2026.
A Pd(0)‐catalyzed cyclotrimerization of benzoCOTynes to form tri(benzo[8]annulenes) was developed. Three distinct isomers were isolated and structurally characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Ligand modulation proved crucial for enhancing regioselectivity: P(4‐OMePh), and (S)‐tBu‐Phox promoted the formation of the symmetric isomers.

Enhanced Moisture Uptake Fuels North Atlantic Tropical Easterly Waves Precipitation in a Downscaled CMIP6 Projection

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Tropical easterly waves (TEWs) are critical drivers of the tropical North Atlantic hydroclimate, yet their future behavior remains uncertain. Using a high‐resolution, dynamically downscaled, bias‐corrected CMIP6 data set and a Lagrangian moisture tracking approach, we provide the first comprehensive, basin‐wide projections of future changes in
