A climate‐sensitive tropical urbanism under extreme heat†

Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography, EarlyView.
Tropical urban dwellers face twin climate challenges that impinge on their quality of life: climate overheating and the urban heat island (UHI). The latter superimposed on the former to lead to high levels of thermal discomfort, carbon and energy consequences.

Targeted metabolomics reveals the optimal harvest time of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes in an emerging high‐altitude tropical region

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 9, Page 5614-5628, July 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Climate change has driven the expansion of viticulture in high‐altitude tropical regions. The dynamics of grape ripening and its metabolic profile are influenced by climatic conditions. This study aimed to identify the optimal harvest period for Cabernet Sauvignon grapes cultivated in an emerging Brazilian high‐altitude region using

Biodiversity science is improved when silent herbaria speak

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1378-1386, July 2026.
Herbaria in the Global South are critical yet underutilized resources for biodiversity science and often absent from international databases and research networks. We highlight the phenomenon of “silent herbaria” using Nigeria as a case study and quantify how these collections fill important gaps in global biodiversity knowledge.

Multi‐Country‐Multi‐City Characterisation of Heat Stress and Exposure in Africa

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 8, 30 June 2026.
This study provides the first continent‐wide, grid‐specific assessment of heat stress trends in Africa, revealing a sharp rise in multi‐scale extreme heat episodes and shifting population exposure. Findings highlight urgent implications for urban planning and climate adaptation.

Eastern Pacific Corals Track Robust ENSO Variability and Stronger La Niña Events 4,000 Years Before Present

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract The interannual El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO) triggers extreme climate events worldwide. Geochemical proxies in coral skeletons from the eastern equatorial Pacific (EP) track ENSO conditions, constraining its long‐term variance and response to forcing.

Compositional Characterization, Quality Parameters, and Physicochemical and Bioactive Properties of Pequi ( Caryocar brasiliense ) Oils From Xingu and Cerrado in Mato Grosso, Brazil

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, Volume 103, Issue 6, Page 609-622, June 2026.
Cerrado oil is richer in MUFA and antioxidant compounds, while Xingu oil shows higher SFA and enhanced oxidative stability, reinforcing the potential of pequi oil as a sustainable bioactive ingredient. ABSTRACT Pequi ( Caryocar brasiliense ) is a native fruit widely distributed in Brazilian biomes, specially in Cerrado, known for its high oil yield and
