Heat‐evolved coral photosymbionts exhibit dampened stress responses across distinct physiological contexts

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 1755-1773, August 2026.
Summary Experimental evolution under elevated temperatures has generated heat‐evolved (HE) strains of Symbiodiniaceae that enhance coral bleaching tolerance. However, the biomolecular mechanisms underlying this resilience remain poorly understood. We conducted a laboratory heat‐stress experiment and applied synchrotron‐based Fourier transform infrared (

2-DE proteomics analysis of drought treated seedlings of Quercus ilex supports a root active strategy for metabolic adaptation in response to water shortage

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Holm oak is a dominant tree in the western Mediterranean region. Despite being well adapted to dry hot climate, drought is the main cause of mortality post-transplanting in reforestation programs.

Not only reseeder or resprouter plants: Trait syndromes and post‐fire responses of three iconic Mediterranean woody species

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1399-1410, August 2026.
Post‐fire plant functional strategies of Mediterranean woody species can be less fixed than often thought when intraspecific variability of fire‐related traits is considered. Abstract Fire can profoundly affect ecosystem dynamics, species distribution and plant traits, especially in open biomes.

Characterization and Valuation of the Ecosystem Services of the Coastal Cantabrian Holm Oak Forest in Spain: The Example of the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve (Bizkaia, Basque Country)

Land
Holm oak groves of Quercus ilex subsp. ilex are one of the most characteristic environmental elements of the Cantabrian strip of the Iberian Peninsula. The Cantabrian holm oak forest does not have a clear origin.

Long-term drought decreases ecosystem C and nutrient storage in a Mediterranean holm oak forest

Environmental and Experimental Botany, 2020
Aridity has increased in recent decades in the Mediterranean Basin and is projected to continue to increase in the coming decades. We studied the consequences of drought on the concentrations, stoichiometries and stocks of carbon (C), nitrogen (N ...

Rapid Metabolic and Behavioral Maladaptations Following Short‐Term Obesogenic Diet Withdrawal During Postweaning Development in Male Wistar Rats

Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Postweaning male Wistar rats were fed a high‐sugar/high‐fat (HSHF) diet for 14 days, with or without a 48‐h withdrawal period followed by return to the control diet. Continued HSHF intake increased visceral adiposity, hepatic glycogen, and triacylglycerol accumulation, as well as systemic and central inflammatory markers.

Tree regeneration trends in forests of the northeastern USA and their implications for resilience and restoration

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 5, July 2026.
Abstract Tree regeneration is vital to shaping characteristics of future forests, including vulnerability to climate change; resilience to pests, pathogens and disturbance; and departure from historical species composition. We used data from nationwide forest inventory plots to investigate trends in sapling abundance and recruitment as well as tree ...

Future hydrological constraints of the Montseny brook newt (Calotriton arnoldi) under changing climate and vegetation cover

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
The Montseny brook newt (Calotriton arnoldi) is a critically endangered amphibian species which inhabits a small 20 km2 holm oak and beech forest area in NE Spain.

Structural and ecological changes in holm oak coppices 25 years after their conversion into high forest

Annals of Silvicultural Research, 2013
Holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) is one of the most diffuse and economically important forest species in Sardinia, where it holds about 40% of holm oak cover in Italy.

Holm oak decline and mortality exacerbates drought effects on soil biogeochemical cycling and soil microbial communities across a climatic gradient

, 2020
The extent to which the increasingly frequent episodes of drought-induced tree decline and mortality could alter key soil biogeochemical cycles is unclear.
