A Natural History of ‘Annoyances’: Knowing Weeds and Weeding Knowledge in the Early Royal Society and its ‘Georgicall Committee’

Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seventeenth‐century virtuosi often figured themselves as epistemic weeders, grubbing up rank thickets of accumulated error. In this article, I argue that these metaphors were unnerved by the shifting status of weeds—ostensibly unwanted plants from the margins of cultivated space, unploughed land or the disturbed soils between growing crops—in ...

Nested Claims, Cross‐Segmental Issues, and Elite Competition in Powersharing

Swiss Political Science Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Powersharing systems rely on descriptive representation, where elected elites ‘stand in’ for their segment's voters, incentivising intransigence and penalising cross‐segmental cooperation. Yet powersharing politics regularly witness cross‐segmental appeals, voting patterns and party formation.

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

Clinical and biochemical factors associated with insulin therapy in gestational diabetes: The role of OGTT‐based groups

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) represents one of the most common metabolic disorders of pregnancy. This study aimed to identify clinical and biochemical factors associated with antenatal insulin therapy, focusing on the association with oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)‐based phenotypes. Retrospective observational study among GDM women,

Thyroid antibody positivity in pregnancy is associated with altered reproductive hormone concentrations and placental growth in Lewis rats

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Thyroid antibody positivity (TAb+) in pregnancy is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, but the mechanisms are unclear. This study developed a rodent model of TAb+ in pregnancy, induced prior to mating so that TAb+ exposure occurred throughout the pregnancy. TAb+ did not alter thyroid hormone concentrations and had minimal

Advancing Thermotolerance in Beans: Integrating Physiology, Genomics, and Breeding for Climate Adaptation

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Rising global temperatures increasingly threaten bean production and the food security of millions of people who depend on these protein‐rich legumes. Heat stress during the reproductive stages induces pollen sterility, flower abscission, and disruptions in source–sink relationships, resulting in yield losses of 30%–40% or more when critical ...

Agronomic and Grain Quality Traits of Different Chickpea Cultivars Grown in Southern Germany

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT In Germany, chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is so far considered as a “new” crop. Introducing “new” crops in new growing regions can face many challenges. One of the major challenges is selecting appropriate cultivars. This study aimed to provide clear, region‐specific recommendations for suitable chickpea cultivars to support future agronomic ...
