Anthropology of Consciousness, Volume 37, Issue 1, Spring 2026.ABSTRACT This account explores how circumstances verging on the other‐worldly alter human perception and consciousness in a fieldwork situation. The case study involves an archaeological field survey team stranded for a time on a remote Lapland mountain.

Genomic features of lichen‐associated black fungi
IUBMB LifeAbstractLichens are mutualistic associations consisting of a primary fungal host, and one to few primary phototrophic symbiont(s), usually a green alga and/or a cyanobacterium. They form complex thallus structures, which provide unique and stable habitats for many other microorganisms.

Diversity and Distribution of Soil Fungi in Neotropical Mexican Forests
Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.Soil fungal diversity across the Mexican Neotropics remains poorly characterized despite its ecological importance. Using the Global Soil Mycobiome dataset from 55 sites, we identified eight distinct fungal community groups structured primarily by vegetation type and climatic gradients.

Plant and Soil Function Increase With Larger and Older Coarse Woody Debris
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Coarse woody debris is increasingly being used in ecological restoration. We aimed to assess the global impacts of woody debris on ecosystem properties and functions. Location Global. Major Taxa Studied Soil biota, plants, soil function. Methods We conducted a quantitative global meta‐analysis of 66 studies (5234 observations) to assess ...

Unmanaged forest swamps benefit saproxylic and soil‐inhabiting crane fly communities
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 2, Page 349-359, March 2026.Species richness of both saproxylic and soil‐inhabiting crane flies was consistently higher in unmanaged forests across all habitat types. Soil‐inhabiting species thrived in swamps and ditches, while saproxylic richness was linked to low light and high soil moisture, independent of habitat type.

Inflammatory niches as spatial drivers of disease mechanisms and targets for personalized treatment
Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 423-430, March 2026.This study provides a comprehensive review of how spatial transcriptomics reveals disease‐specific inflammatory niches across multiple skin disorders, highlighting key immune–stromal, neuro–immune and metabolic interactions that were previously unappreciated in non‐spatial analyses. Abstract Disease states are increasingly recognized as being shaped by

Neighbourly Dispute at the Edge of Life: Species Interactions Among Antarctic Mosses
Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 2, March/April 2026.Vegetation growth in the harsh Antarctic environment is often assumed to be driven solely by species adaptations to abiotic conditions. However, in this first experimental study of species interactions between Antarctic mosses, we show that competitive interactions do occur under simulated Antarctic conditions, suggesting that, as well as abiotic ...

Rethinking asexuality: the enigmatic case of functional sexual genes in Lepraria (Stereocaulaceae)
BMC GenomicsBackground The ubiquity of sex across eukaryotes, given its high costs, strongly suggests it is evolutionarily advantageous. Asexual lineages can avoid, for example, the risks and energetic costs of recombination, but suffer short-term reductions in ...
