Remote sensing and geospatial analysis for the study of plant community regeneration in human‐modified landscapes

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Natural regeneration is essential for maintaining functionally diverse and resilient plant communities in human‐modified landscapes. To design and implement successful conservation and restoration initiatives in these landscapes, research on the environmental and anthropogenic drivers of natural regeneration must be scaled up beyond ...

Adaptive responses to environmental variability in rotifers: Integrating plasticity and bet hedging in dormancy exit

open access: yesEcology, Volume 107, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Environmental variability imposes strong selective pressures that may favor adaptive responses such as phenotypic plasticity and bet hedging. Plasticity is generally favored under predictable conditions, whereas bet hedging is advantageous against environmental uncertainty. Plastic responses rely on reliable cues to adjust phenotypes to future

SW‐YOLO: An Optimized YOLOv8 Architecture With ConvNeXt for Real‐Time and Accurate Substation Wiring Inspection

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
The study uses affine transformation, contrast enhancement, and mosaic masking for image enhancement and introduces the Convolutional NeXt module in YOLOv8 based on masked self‐encoder and response normalization, along with improvements to the convolutional block attention module.

A Targeted Approach for Mapping Groundwater Discharge to Surface Water and Fish Thermal Refuge in Four Lake Ontario Tributaries

open access: yesHydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 3, March 2026.
Understanding groundwater discharge to surface water is crucial for ecosystems, water quality, and resource management. A flexible methodology was developed to first predict and then identify cold‐water zones and significant groundwater discharge areas in four key Lake Ontario tributaries.

Using Geophysical Observations of a Tracer Injection in a Riparian Aquifer to Explore How Bimodal Transport and Mixing Influences Nitrate Processing

open access: yesHydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 3, March 2026.
Our results embrace a simple conceptual model of preferential flow to illuminate the relationships among riparian groundwater nitrate concentration, flow dynamics, and substrate composition in stream corridors loaded with elevated nitrate from agricultural activities.
