CrustCheck: a conceptual framework for interpreting biocrust trait–function relationships in drylands

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Biocrusts are increasingly recognized for their contribution to soil stability, hydrology, nutrient cycling, and energy balance in drylands, yet practical field methods for assessing functional roles are limited. Existing approaches typically rely on cover estimates, taxonomic identification, or laboratory analyses, providing ...

Water and Gas Exchange Responses of Five Related Blueberry Species (Ericaceae spp.) to the Dry Season in the High‐Andean Forest of the Colombian Eastern Cordillera

open access: yesPlant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Vaccinium, Cavendishia, and Macleania are typical genera of blueberries from the Ericaceae belt, a narrow ecosystem that connects the high Andean forest and páramo, where fragmentation makes the species more vulnerable to climate change. To answer the question of whether five related blueberry species could physiologically behave similarly in ...

MIF‐MAPMS: Enhancing identification of myelin autoantigenic peptides in multiple sclerosis through multimodal information fusion

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 35, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Multiple sclerosis (MS) arises from an autoimmune response in which the immune system erroneously targets myelin autoantigens within the central nervous system, leading to myelin degradation and subsequent neurological dysfunction. Identifying myelin autoantigenic peptides (MAPs) is therefore critical for understanding MS pathogenesis and ...
