Functional traits predict changes in floral phenology under climate change in a highly diverse Mediterranean community

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants are shifting their flowering phenology in response to climate change, but trends differ between species and communities. Functional traits can largely explain how different species respond to climate change by shifting their phenology, and can therefore help ...

Microspherules Formed by Lightning Strikes

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Natural microspherules are formed by high‐temperature processes and are present throughout the geologic record to the present day. We report the discovery of large numbers of microspherules recovered from a rock pavement in the Pilbara region, Western Australia.

In vitro culture, cryopreservation, and field reintroduction of the endangered Mingan thistle

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Current plant conservation efforts are hindered by, for example, poor seed germination, low viability, and insufficient propagation and preservation technologies. To address these problems, we devised an approach to plant conservation that integrates conservation, preservation, and restoration (CPR), which uses advanced in vitro techniques. We

Distribution, scale, and drivers of mass mortality events in Europe's freshwater bivalves

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Mass mortality events (MMEs) are decimating populations and compromising key ecosystem functions around the globe. One taxon particularly vulnerable to MMEs is freshwater bivalve mollusks. This group has important ecosystem engineering capacities and includes highly threatened and highly invasive taxa.

pygid: a Python package for fast data reduction in grazing‐incidence diffraction

Journal of Applied Crystallography, Volume 59, Issue 1, Page 263-275, February 2026.
A new Python package, pygid, enables fast batch processing of X‐ray scattering data, with a particular focus on grazing‐incidence geometries.Advances in X‐ray and neutron sources, as well as in area‐detector technologies, enable the recording of several terabytes of raw two‐dimensional detector data in a single experiment.

Integrated demographic strategies are more strongly associated with variation in conspecific density dependence than single traits in tropical tree seedlings

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
Species‐specific conspecific negative density dependence (CNDD) varied widely among tropical tree species. CNDD was strongest in fast‐growing species and tall, long‐lived pioneers, weakly related to most functional traits except wood density and strongest in rare species. These results show that integrated life‐history strategies explain CNDD variation

Implications of global distributive justice principles for implementation of the Kunming‐Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract In the era of the sixth mass extinction, reversing global biodiversity loss is of vital importance for life on Earth. In 2022, parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) adopted the Kunming‐Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), a strategic plan with 23 action‐oriented targets to be achieved by 2030.

Drying suppresses fine root production to 1 m depths and alters root traits in four distinct tropical forests

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 1992-2009, February 2026.
Summary Drying and drought in tropical forests, which have some of the highest net primary productivity on Earth, are likely to alter root dynamics, ecosystem function, and carbon (C) storage. We used a chronic drying experiment in four lowland Panamanian forests to investigate whether soil drying shifts tropical forest root production from surface to ...

Single Cold Atmospheric Plasma Therapy May Improve the Treatment Outcome of Canine Otitis Externa With Secondary Infection

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 103-110, February 2026.
Background: Otitis externa with secondary bacterial or yeast infection is a common problem in small animal practice. Cold physical plasma (CPP) has been reported to have antimicrobial activity in vitro. Results: Ears treated additionally with CPP showed lower otic scores after 21 days compared to nontreated ears, although this difference was not ...
