Hemiparasitic Castilleja presence is correlated with increased plant biodiversity across montane plant communities

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Premise Root hemiparasites form haustoria in belowground roots of hosts to extract nutrients and water from the surrounding hosts. Through parasitic symbiosis, these plants disproportionately affect plant communities relative to their abundance by reducing host size, altering nutrient flow, and eventually increasing local biodiversity.

Karyotype Variation and Environmental Adaptation in the Invasive Alien Freshwater Flatworm Girardia in China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Our findings provide a comprehensive baseline of the distribution, reproductive strategies, and environmental adaptations of invasive Girardia species, and underscore the urgent need for continued monitoring and effective management to safeguard native biodiversity.

Farming in the shadows of Rome: A multi‐proxy palaeoenvironmental record from Loch Clunie—Perthshire

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 915-932, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Roman impacts on local society is a subject of international significance. Loch Clunie, Perthshire, lies only 5.4 km from Inchtuthil, the only Roman legionary fortress in Scotland, and contains two crannogs and a probable lakeside hillfort. Despite this proximity and the likelihood of local–Roman interaction, these sites remain unexcavated ...

Reidite Formation From Zircon Subjected to 20, 40, and 60 GPa Shock Experiments

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, Volume 57, Issue 8, Page 1392-1406, August 2026.
Structure disordering as a result of shock pressure: In zircon shocked from 20 to 60 GPa, the shock‐induced structural disorder increases with increasing shock pressure (gray area). Shock disorder of zircon is an integral part of its transformation to reidite: Reidite occurs after amorphous material.

Disentangling Internal Tides From Balanced Motions With Deep Learning and Surface Field Synergy

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract A fundamental challenge in ocean dynamics is disentangling balanced motions and internal waves. Extracting internal tidal (IT) imprints from surface data is a central part of this challenge. Traditional harmonic analysis fails under strong incoherence and poor temporal sampling, as in global satellite observations.

Innate and specific immunity in plants
Imunidade inata e específica em plantas

Semina: Ciências Biológicas e da Saúde, 2009
Plants and animals are able to recognize and distinguish between self and non-self molecular structures. Recent studies concerning host-parasite relations have presented the common and contrasting mechanisms of host resistance in both plants and animals.

The Erotic Wound: Sexual Racism and Queer Resistance in Digital Spaces

Canadian Review of Sociology/Revue canadienne de sociologie, Volume 63, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This article proposes the erotic wound as a sociological concept to examine how queer people of colour (QPOC) experience sexual racism in digital intimacy, and—equally—to demonstrate how they actively contest, rework, and transform its effects through engagement in digital counterpublics.

Stoichiometric mismatches between Australian showy mistletoes and their hosts: You are what you assimilate

Ecosphere
Ecological stoichiometry emphasizes that mismatches between the elemental composition of organisms and their resources can shape ecological interactions, evolutionary trajectories, and nutrient cycling.

Gasdermin‐Mediated Pyroptosis: Novel Strategies Against Colorectal Cancer

Cancer Science, Volume 117, Issue 8, Page 2064-2084, August 2026.
Pyroptosis is a double‐edged sword in colorectal cancer (CRC): chronic low‐grade pyroptosis promotes tumor progression, whereas acute induction of pyroptosis in cancer cells triggers antitumor immunity and enhances therapeutic response. Targeting gasdermin‐mediated pyroptosis represents a promising strategy for CRC treatment.

A review on true dung beetles' evolutionary and ecological responses to temperature and impacts on ecosystem functions

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 621-638, August 2026.
True dung beetles are a speciose group of ecosystem engineers that play key roles as detritivores in natural and agricultural landscapes. Scarabaeine beetles show strong thermal plasticity and there is increasing evidence of rapid evolutionary divergence in response to temperature across ecological and evolutionary timescales, with likely consequences ...
