Reconciling morphological and molecular approaches: The integrative taxonomy of Leucobryum (Leucobryaceae) in the Malagasy region

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Leucobryum (Leucobryaceae) is a genus of moss (Bryophyta) that has been poorly investigated in Africa, particularly in the western Indian Ocean region. This study integrates morphological and molecular data to revise the taxonomy of the genus in this area.

Phylogenetics of Clusia sect. Criuva (Clusiaceae) unveils a new species, reinstates an old name and clarifies sectional circumscription

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Clusia sect. Criuva has long been a taxonomic catch‐all, particularly in the final decades of the 20th century, when misapplications conflated eastern Brazilian taxa with species from the Guiana Shield. We combine herbarium‐based genome skimming, targeted fieldwork, and critical examination of historical literature and types to reassess ...

From Crisis to Resilience: Rethinking Urban Flooding and Groundwater Recharge in Bengaluru City, India

World Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Bengaluru, a primary metropolitan centre in India, is currently grappling with the dual crises of urban flooding and severe groundwater depletion. These challenges are driven by rapid urbanization, which has seen built‐up areas increase from 42% to 86% over two decades, resulting in a dramatic loss of vegetation and wetlands.

Shear Strength and Size Effects of Completely Weathered Granite Residual Soil Under Laboratory and In Situ Direct Shear Testing

Geosciences
Completely weathered granite residual soil is a weathering-derived, soil-like geomaterial whose shear strength is difficult to characterize using only conventional small-scale laboratory tests.

Assessing the Vulnerability of an Inuit Archaeological Site in a Changing Periglacial Environment: A Novel Multimethod Geophysical Approach in Arctic Geoarchaeology

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 620-632, August 2026.
ABSTRACT With northern regions warming at twice the global rate, assessing the state of archaeological sites in these areas is critically important. In this study, we used a multimethod geophysical approach (ERT, GPR, and EMI) to characterize the current geocryological conditions of an Inuit archaeological site on South Aulatsivik Island (Labrador ...

Paleomagnetic Constraints on the Separation of the Olongbuluke Block From the North China Block During the Late Cambrian–Middle Ordovician and Its Tectonic Significance

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract The collisional evolution of the micro‐blocks in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau is relatively well constrained. However, the reason why a fragment of the North China Block, the Olongbuluke Block, became separated from North China by the Central Qilian Block (a fragment of the South China Block) remains unclear.

High Early Embryo Mortality and Low Hatching Success Observed in Aldabra Giant Tortoise Populations

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
This preliminary study provides the first population‐level assessment of fertilisation and hatching success in the Aldabra giant tortoise across natural and translocated populations in Seychelles, revealing low and highly variable hatching success—particularly in translocated populations.

Onshore Wind Energy Development Causes Localized but Lasting Shifts in Plant Community Composition and Function

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
The effects of wind power plants on surrounding vegetation remain poorly understood. Vegetation surveys at three Norwegian wind power plants commissioned 4, 12, and 19 years ago showed that roads caused shifts in plant functional strategies toward species with ruderal strategies.

Coral reef and mangrove interplay during Holocene sea level changes, Belitung Island, Indonesia

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 7, July 2026.
The fate of mangroves and coral reefs during the ongoing sea level rise depends not only on our ability to preserve the ecosystems but also on their geological preconditioning. Therefore, strategies to preserve mangrove ecosystems, while undoubtedly essential, wecan only be successful if accounting for their geological history. Abstract Coral reefs and
