Tracking large bees in open landscapes with active radio tags—Advantages and challenges using stationary receivers

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Studying the spatial ecology of ecologically relevant species supports the development of effective conservation strategies. Recent technological advancements in remote tracking methods now enable researchers to study large flower‐visiting insects and important pollinators, such as carpenter bees.

A pan‐European citizen science study shows population size, climate and land use are related to biased morph ratios in the heterostylous plant Primula veris

Journal of Ecology, EarlyView.
A large‐scale citizen science study involving thousands of cowslip (Primula veris) observations from all over Europe revealed an unexpected prevalence of S‐morphs over L‐morphs, which was influenced by climatic as well as land use factors. Furthermore, general morph ratios were often unbalanced with the strongest shifts occurring in smaller populations.

Early Origins of Asthma and Allergies: Clues From Studies in China

Clinical &Experimental Allergy, EarlyView.
The environment we live in harbours both risk and protective factors for asthma and allergies. This is particularly relevant in China, where unique environmental and cultural factors shape disease development. The interplay between these environmental factors, airway immunity, and gut microbiome shapes the susceptibility to asthma and allergies ...

Protective effects of Paeonia suffruticosa callus extract in skin through anti‐inflammation and repair UVB‐induced damage

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Peony callus extract (PCE) is beneficial for skin anti‐ageing and sensitivity induced by UVB radiation, through decreasing the level of inflammatory factors and matrix metalloproteinases. Furthermore, our research indicates that PCE effectively improves the total collagen content in human skin. Abstract Objective The study investigated effects of peony

Reminiscent of the pre‐diatom? A hitherto undescribed scaly bolidophyte Lepidoparma frigida gen. et sp. nov. in a new order Lepidoparmales based on morphology, phylogeny, and ecology

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract The class Bolidophyceae, which consists of small phytoplankton distributed worldwide, is the sister group of diatoms. This class has contained only one order, the Parmales, until now. In this study, we established a new order Lepidoparmales Kamakura & S.Sato ord. nov. and a new family Lepidoparmaceae Kamakura & S.Sato fam.

Risky behavior of Asian black bears differs between sex and season in a landscape fragmented by roads

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
We investigated sex and seasonal differences in the road crossing behavior of Asian black bears (Ursus thibetanus) living in central Honshu Island, Japan, as an example of wildlife risk‐taking behavior in a highly fragmented landscape. Our results show that Asian black bears generally avoid crossing roads, and that there are seasonal differences in ...

Bridging data silos to holistically model plant macrophenology

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Phenological response to global climate change can impact ecosystem functions. There are various data sources from which spatiotemporal and taxonomic phenological data may be obtained: mobilized herbaria, community science initiatives, observatory networks, and remote sensing.

A Repertoire of Major Genes From Crop Wild Relatives for Breeding Disease‐Resistant Wheat, Rice, Maize, Soybean and Cotton Crops

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.

Understanding the Enigmatic Dance of Immune‐Mediated Viral Infections and Their Pathogenetic Mechanisms

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2025.
This graphical representation illustrates the multifaceted nature of the immune response in viral infections, demonstrating both its protective and potentially harmful aspects. While a properly regulated immune reaction facilitates viral clearance and promotes general recovery, an overly robust or misdirected response—exemplified by Type III or Type IV
