Liana versus tree seedling responses to spatial and temporal variation in dry season severity

Ecosphere
Lianas are key components of tropical forests, particularly at sites with more severe dry seasons. In contrast, trees are more abundant and speciose in wetter areas.

The complex interaction between mammalian herbivores, climate, soil and fire has shaped the evolution and distribution of plant spinescence across biogeographical realms

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Evolution of spinescence in mimosoid legumes. Summary The evolutionary arms race between plants and herbivores led to numerous plant adaptations, including spinescence. However, the balance between herbivory and abiotic conditions in the evolution of spinescence remains unclear. We integrated phylogenetic, geographic, and trait data for 2686 species of

Restoration age, distance from reference ecosystems, and host plant feeding guilds shape the diversity of frugivorous butterflies in ecological restoration areas in the Atlantic Forest

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The fragmentation of the Atlantic Forest has caused severe biodiversity loss. In Paraná State, more than 96% of the original vegetation, predominantly semideciduous seasonal forest, has been degraded. Ecological restoration is a key strategy to reverse this scenario, aiming to recover environmental conditions equivalent to the ...

Thyroid antibody positivity in pregnancy is associated with altered reproductive hormone concentrations and placental growth in Lewis rats

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Thyroid antibody positivity (TAb+) in pregnancy is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, but the mechanisms are unclear. This study developed a rodent model of TAb+ in pregnancy, induced prior to mating so that TAb+ exposure occurred throughout the pregnancy. TAb+ did not alter thyroid hormone concentrations and had minimal

Violence, Stigma, and Moral Injury in Nursing During the COVID‐19 Pandemic: A Qualitative Analysis From 18 Countries in Latin America and the Caribbean

Nursing Inquiry, Volume 33, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Workplace violence against nurses and midwives intensified during the COVID‐19 pandemic, exposing and amplifying longstanding structural marginalization in health systems across Latin America. This study analyzes how different forms of violence were experienced and described by nursing professionals during this period.

Local Forest Structure and Host Specificity Influence Liana Community Composition in a Moist Central African Forest

Ecology and Evolution
Lianas are important components of tropical forest diversity and dynamics, yet little is known about the drivers of their community structure and composition.

Clonal Expansion Accounts for Most Post‐Disturbance Proliferation of a Dominant Temperate Liana, Wisteria floribunda, Across a Fragmented Forest Landscape

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.
Across all sampled ramets in a fragmented forest landscape, 83% were clonal, indicating that clonal expansion accounted for most of the present population structure of Wisteria floribunda. Compared with a continuous old‐growth forest, the fragmented forest showed substantially greater clonal dominance and spatial coverage by genets.

Standardised Innovation Management Systems: Modelling the Antecedents of Certification and Maintenance Benefits

Creativity and Innovation Management, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 770-790, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The literature lacks a comprehensive model examining the performance impact of certifying and maintaining standardised innovation management systems (SIMS) or clarifying the advantages of standardisation. This study addresses that gap by analysing the key determinants of the benefits associated with SIMS certification and maintenance.
