Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract This study investigated Prangos ferulacea (PF)‐induced hepatotoxicity, its potential association with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and proinflammatory cytokines, and the effect of the cannabinoid type 2 receptor agonist JWH‐133. Rats (n = 37) were divided into four groups: control–sham group (CSG, n = 9), PF extract group (PG, n = 9), PF ...

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 7, October 2026.ABSTRACT Accurate knowledge of phylogenetic relationships and divergence time among plant species composing a regional flora is crucial for understanding the origin of the biodiversity patterns we observe today. Despite advances in phylogenomics, resources available for reconstructing regional phylogenies are still largely incomplete and poorly ...

A framework for maximizing the benefit from retaining regrowth on private land
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.Abstract Conservation interventions often have lower‐than‐desired positive impacts, as revealed by retrospective counterfactual‐based evaluations. To address this, a prospective counterfactual‐based approach can be used to estimate potential benefits and design conservation interventions to maximize outcomes. We developed a framework for estimating the
