Dissecting the genetic basis of climatic adaptation in wild relatives (Malus baccata) for climate‐resilient apple breeding

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This comprehensive map of genetic variation in wild apple (Malus baccata) and set of key genes associated with adaptation to temperature, precipitation, and soil properties establishes a foundation for breeding climate‐resilient apple cultivars and conserving the genetic resources of wild crop relatives.

Small‐scale adaptation to geothermal soil heating in a perennial herb revealed by combining crosses and transplantations

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Path diagrams showing the results of piecewise structural equation models examining how fitness (total number of seeds in flowering individuals) of Cerastium fontanum depended on temperature at planting site, temperature difference, mating type, and flowering time (FFD, first flowering date) in each of the two study years.

I could smell there was something wrong with him: Clinical case of a decade of chronic undiagnosed brucellosis

Clinical Infection in Practice
Background: Brucellosis is a zoonotic infection, typically transmitted by ingestion of unpasteurised dairy products or direct contact with infected animals. It is associated with specific occupations, and travel to endemic countries.

Phenotypic plasticity is broadly adaptive across an elevation gradient in the Cutleaf Monkeyflower

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Leaf shape plasticity expression is variable in Mimulus laciniatus. Summary Phenotypic plasticity is a key mechanism by which organisms cope with environmental heterogeneity, but its evolutionary consequences depend on how plastic responses align with the broader adaptive landscape.

“A triumph of art” or “blatant vulgarity”: The Reception of Scott and Skidmore’s Screens

British Art Studies, 2017
This essay provides a broad narrative of how the screens designed by architect and designer George Gilbert Scott and made by metalworker Francis Skidmore for the cathedrals of Hereford, Lichfield, and Salisbury, have been regarded since they were ...

Alternative approaches to dryland reclamation enhance vegetation cover and soil stability at a former uranium mine

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Conventional reclamation methods to recover dryland ecosystems after mineral extraction often have low success. Alternative reclamation techniques may help overcome the many challenges to establishing persistent native vegetation and stable soils.

Loss of Stability for Blood Urea Nitrogen in Cattle Serum Samples Stored for 3 and 6 Months at −20°C and −80°C

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Biological samples are stored for delayed or add‐on analyses. However, storage conditions, including time and temperature, can affect the stability of measurands in the samples. Objectives To assess the stability of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) in cattle serum samples.

Evidence consistent with local adaptation to predation shaping stabilizing effects underlying local coexistence

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Trait divergence in resource use and susceptibility to predation can promote local competitor coexistence if such divergence generates demographic advantages when species are rare, producing frequency‐dependent stabilizing effects. These effects may vary spatially as populations experience different ecological conditions shaping species ...
