Contrasting drought responses in two grassland plant–microbe systems under climate change

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
By contrasting two plant strategies across a soil‐moisture gradient under warming and elevated CO2, this study shows how drought and climate jointly shape plant performance and associated microbiomes. The stress‐tolerant Festuca rubra responds through trait plasticity and flexible bacterial communities, whereas the competitive Lolium perenne relies ...

A practical guide to characterising ecological coexistence

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 195-220, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Coexistence is simultaneously one of the most fundamental concepts of ecology, and one of the most difficult to define. A particular challenge is that, despite a well‐developed body of research, several different schools of thought have developed over the past century, leading to multiple independent, and largely isolated, branches of ...

Effects of temperature and humidity on the presence and prevalence of a common fungal parasite on an invasive ladybird

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 86-97, February 2026.
We investigated how temperature and relative humidity influence the parasitic fungus Hesperomyces harmoniae on the invasive ladybird Harmonia axyridis under controlled laboratory conditions. Abiotic factors significantly affect parasitism: High relative humidity increased parasite prevalence, development rate, and load, while both low and high ...

Tooth–bone attachment tissue is produced by cells with a mixture of odontoblastic and osteoblastic features in reptiles

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 2, Page 251-268, February 2026.
Tooth attachment in vertebrates ranges from ligament‐based anchorage in mammals to direct fusion in many reptiles. In the veiled chameleon, we identified a transient cell population—termed ankyloblasts—at the tooth‐bone interface. These cells exhibit both odontoblast‐ and osteoblast‐like features.

A novel mechanism of auxin habituation: upregulation of auxin receptor TRANSPORT INHIBITOR RESPONSE 1 allows cell proliferation independent of external auxin

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 3, Page 1268-1282, February 2026.
Summary Exogenously applied auxins are essential for establishing cell lines in tissue cultures and maintaining their proliferation. Cell lines may develop the ability to proliferate even in media lacking auxin, they may become auxin‐habituated. This study investigated the mechanisms underlying this process.

Local Maintenance and Genomic Diversity of Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus in Natural Populations of House Mice in the Czech Republic Over a 24‐Year Period

open access: yesZoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 1, Page 107-112, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) is a neglected rodent‐borne zoonotic virus primarily infecting house mice. The virus can be highly pathogenic, particularly in immunocompromised individuals and in congenital infections. LCMV is distributed worldwide but shows local clustering, probably due to the highly structured populations of its ...

Whipped and Mixed Warm Clouds in the Deep Sea

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.
Abstract Turbulence is indispensable to redistribute nutrients for all life forms larger than microbial, on land and in the ocean. Yet, the development of deep‐sea turbulence was not studied in three dimensions to date. As a disproportionate laboratory, an array of nearly 3,000 high‐resolution temperature sensors had been installed for three years on ...

Hoveyda–Grubbs 1st and 2nd Generation Precatalysts Modified in the Alkoxybenzylidene Part With Long (Fluorous) Chains: Catalytic Activity and Stability

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Organic Chemistry, Volume 29, Issue 2, January 16, 2026.
We synthesized a series of light to heavy fluorous Hoveyda–Grubbs precatalyst analogs modified in the alkoxybenzylidene part in positions 2 and 5 by long (fluorinated) ponytails and tested their activity in ring‐closing metathesis. The substitution mostly resulted in accelerated reaction but the precatalyst stability often decreased.

Effects of Defined Pig Microbiota on Acute Salmonellosis in Gnotobiotic Piglets

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 1, 15 January 2026.
Germ‐free piglets lack protective microbiota and are highly vulnerable to Salmonella Typhimurium LT2 infection. Pre‐colonization with defined pig microbiota supports early immune response and intestinal barrier maturation. By measuring pathogen spread, intestinal structure, goblet cell density, cytokines, and tight‐junction markers with molecular and ...
