Evolutionary legacies structure the geography of seagrass traits across the world's oceans

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Traits modulate species' ability to track shifts in climate, yet the extent to which traits have been shaped by the contemporary environment and/or historical processes remains poorly understood. Here, we fill this gap for the world's seagrasses, habitat‐forming species that provide critical ecosystem services.

Does Japanʼs Aid Promote the Economic Growth of Pacific Island Countries?

Asia &the Pacific Policy Studies, Volume 13, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Pacific Island countries (PICs) are among the worldʼs most aid‐dependent nations. This study examines relations between Japanʼs aid and the economic growth of 13 PICs during 2000–2023. After evaluating overall effects of Japanʼs aid, specific types are analysed: economic, social, production, and multi‐sector aid.

A contribution to the anatomy of two rare cetacean species: The hourglass dolphin (Cephalorhynchus cruciger) and the spectacled porpoise (Phocoena dioptrica)

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 7, Page 1797-1820, July 2026.
Abstract The anatomical description of the hourglass dolphin (Cephalorhynchus cruciger) and the spectacled porpoise (Phocoena dioptrica) remains largely unexplored, due to limited specimen availability and preservation challenges. This study employed digital imaging techniques, conventional histology, and computed tomography to provide visualization of
