Drought and Fruit and Vegetables Production in California

Agricultural Economics, Volume 57, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT California's increasingly frequent and intense droughts are a pressing problem for the state's agriculture and the US food supply. California supplies more than half of all fruit and vegetables produced in the United States. This paper quantifies the severity of the problem by estimating the impacts of the drought on California's fresh fruit ...

Traditional and Geometric Morphometrics and Invariant Shape Descriptors of Catfish Otoliths in the Yucatán Peninsula: Tools for Species Identification and Individual Size Estimation at Maya Archaeological Sites

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue S2, Page S88-S103, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the use of otolith shape analysis for species identification and size estimation in Ariopsis felis and Bagre marinus, based on 181 modern otoliths obtained from a scientific collection and recent sampling in the coastal regions of Campeche and Yucatán, as well as 39 archaeological otoliths corresponding to the Early ...

Universal control of a bosonic mode via drive-activated native cubic interactions

Nature Communications
Linear bosonic modes offer a hardware-efficient alternative for quantum information processing but require access to some nonlinearity for universal control.

Goal Hierarchies: Understanding Sub‐Goal and Primary Goal Interdependency

Journal of Management Studies, Volume 63, Issue 3, Page 1403-1443, May 2026.
Abstract There is increased research on how organizations respond to performance feedback on multiple goals. Most of it considers goals that have ambiguous ranking and thus differs from goal hierarchies with sub‐goals that are instrumental for accomplishing a primary goal.

Aridity and drought: distinct concepts often conflated in ecological research

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 4, Page 2026-2038, May 2026.
Summary As well‐established drivers of ecological pattern and process, aridity and drought are linked by a common focus on water limitation – with both aridity and especially drought projected to increase in extent and severity with climate change. There is a long history of assessing plant adaptations to drought through the lens of aridity. Consistent

Are physiological oscillations physiological?

The Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 9, Page 3672-3693, 1 May 2026.
Abstract figure legend Mechanisms and functions of physiological oscillations. Abstract Despite widespread and striking examples of physiological oscillations, their functional role is often unclear. Even glycolysis, the paradigm example of oscillatory biochemistry, has seen questions about its oscillatory function.

Decadal Changes in Wintertime Frequency of Stratospheric Northern Annular Mode Events With Downward Propagation

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract The surface climate impact of stratospheric polar vortex anomalies depends on their downward propagation (DP) into the troposphere. We find pronounced decadal variability in the winter frequency of stratospheric Northern Annular Mode (SNAM) events that exhibit DP (1951–2024).

Towards the generation of mechanical Kerr-cats: awakening the perturbative quantum Moyal corrections to classical motion

New Journal of Physics
The quantum to classical transition is determined by the interplay of a trio of parameters: dissipation, nonlinearity, and macroscopicity. Why is nonlinearity needed to see quantum effects? And, is not an ordinary pendulum quite nonlinear already?

Nonreciprocal Genuine Microwave Entanglement via Magnon Kerr Nonlinearity

Photonics
We present a utilization of the magnon Kerr effect to generate nonreciprocal genuine microwave entanglement in a hybrid system consisting of a yttrium iron garnet (YIG) sphere and three microwave cavities.
