Planting for healthy air: Urban biodiversity enhances natural chemical environments

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cities urgently need nature to improve public health, support biodiversity, and increase resilience to climate change. Yet not all green spaces offer the same benefits. In this study, we show that more diverse urban plantings create richer “chemical environments”; subtle, naturally scented atmospheres formed by plant emissions that can influence how ...

What if we Find Nothing? Bayesian Analysis of the Statistical Information of Null Results in Future Exoplanet Habitability and Biosignature Surveys

The Astronomical Journal
Future telescopes will survey temperate, terrestrial exoplanets to estimate the frequency of habitable ( η _Hab ) or inhabited ( η _Life ) planets.

Food plant diversity in a rapidly changing world

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Diversity in food plants is essential to human and planetary health. On farms, in diets, and in many other areas of food systems, this diversity has undergone enormous change globally, including significant decline. We describe major trends in how food plant diversity has been changing, note the responses from conservation communities, highlight gaps ...

Can there be additional rocky planets in the Habitable Zone of tight binary stars with a known gas giant?

, 2015
International audienceLocating planets in Habitable Zones (HZs) around other stars is a growing field in contemporary astronomy. Since a large percentage of all G-M stars in the solar neighbourhood are expected to be part of binary or multiple stellar ...

Learning from mistakes: Understanding and refining machine learning predictions of extinction risk for single‐country endemics

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As of 2026, fewer than 23% of vascular plants have IUCN Red List assessments, despite accelerating threats to biodiversity. Predictive models of extinction risk complement assessments and help prioritize conservation action but face a trade‐off between data resolution and species coverage.

Smaller Than Earth Habitability Model (STEHM): The Lower Size Limit for Atmosphere Retention in the Habitable Zone

The Planetary Science Journal
With recent advances in exoplanet observational techniques enabling the discovery of increasingly smaller planets, a crucial question emerges in the search for habitable planets: how small can a planet be and still maintain an atmosphere?

Climate stability of habitable Earth-like planets

, 2015
The carbon-silicate cycle regulates the atmospheric CO 2 content of terrestrial planets on geological timescales through a balance between the rates of CO 2 volcanic outgassing and planetary intake from rock weathering.

Inferring Brown Bear Hair Snare Interactions by Automatically Detecting Bipedalism on Camera Trap Images Using Pose Estimation and a Multilayer Perceptron

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study proposes an automated method to infer brown bear hair snare interactions by detecting bipedal behavior in camera‐trap images using a pose estimation model and a multilayer perceptron (MLP). A YOLO‐based model, fine‐tuned from humans and dogs to a custom dataset, achieved high performance (≈93% keypoint precision and ≈96% classification ...

Requirements for Joint Orbital Characterization of Cold Giants and Habitable Worlds with Habitable Worlds Observatory

The Astronomical Journal
We determine optimal requirements for the joint detection of habitable-zone planets and cold giant planets with the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO). Analysis of 164 nearby stars shows that a coronagraph outer working angle of 1440 milliarcseconds (mas)
