Haemosporidian infections limit physiological adaptation to elevation in birds: evidence from haemoglobin and fat reserves

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 4, July 2026.
Haemosporidian parasites are widely recognised as important drivers of avian physiology, with potential effects on oxygen transport and energy balance. These parasites infect red blood cells and consume host haemoglobin, reducing oxygen‐carrying capacity.

Microfracture for full‐thickness chondral lesions of the knee in elite athletes leads to high return‐to‐play rates

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, Volume 34, Issue 7, Page 2352-2358, July 2026.
Abstract Purpose Injuries to the knee are common in elite athletes and often involve damage to the articular cartilage. Given the high demands of elite sport, full‐thickness articular cartilage defects in the knee can be career‐limiting or threatening.

Cotton facilitates long‐distance seed dispersal by functioning as nest material for birds

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.
Cotton (Cossypium) fibres, which grow naturally in bolls around the seeds of cotton plants, have been used for centuries to produce fabric. The presumed natural function of cotton is that these lightweight and fluffy fibres may support wind dispersal of the seeds inside.

Agreement between ganglion cell‐inner plexiform layer metrics from widefield optical coherence tomography and Goldmann II, III, and V in glaucoma

Optometry and Vision Science, Volume 103, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose To compare concordance between ganglion cell‐inner plexiform layer metrics acquired using widefield optical coherence tomography (OCT) and visual function assessed using Goldmann (G) II, III, and V stimulus sizes, in turn evaluating the role of spatial summation properties in binary classification of visual field (VF) results.

Silver‐Alloyed Wide‐Bandgap (Ag,Cu)(In,Ga)S2 Thin‐Film Solar Cells With 15.5% Efficiency

Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, Volume 34, Issue 7, Page 942-956, July 2026.
This study reports improvements in compositional homogeneity, microstructure, enhanced radiative recombination, and extended carrier lifetime of CIGS absorber via Ag incorporation. The optimal Ag‐alloyed CIGS solar cells achieve 15.5% PCE and 948 mV VOC, competing with the VOC of the Ag‐free reference sample from the same batch.
