Cognitive Symbionts. Expanding the Scope of Cognitive Science With Fungi
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract It has been argued that fungi have cognitive capacities, and even conscious experiences. While these arguments risk ushering in unproductive disputes about how words like “mind,” “cognitive,” “sentient,” and “conscious” should be used, paying close attention to key properties of fungal life can also be uncontroversially productive for ...

Losing by Expanding: Corralling the Runaway Object [PDF]
, 2011 At the time of publication C. Spinuzzi was at the University of Texas at Austin.Third-generation activity theory (3GAT) has become a popular theoretical and methodological framework for writing studies, particularly in technical communication.

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 189, Issue 1, Page 69-80, February 2026.ABSTRACT Background and aims Soil microbes adapt to varying nutrient inputs by modifying their utilization strategies, with root exudates and animal urine serving as key carbon (C) and nutrient sources in grasslands. Nonetheless, the specific mechanisms by which cow urine and root exudates influence microbial community and resource utilization remain ...

A Stimulatory Role for Cytokinin in the Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis of Pea [PDF]
, 2019 The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis between terrestrial plants and AM fungi is regulated by plant hormones. For most of these, a role has been clearly assigned in this mutualistic interaction; however, there are still contradictory reports for ...

From beginning to end: the synecology of tree‐killing bark beetles, fungi, and trees
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 314-335, February 2026.ABSTRACT Over a century of research has revealed an amazing complexity of behaviours and physiological adaptations that allow tiny bark beetles to overcome large trees, sometimes resulting in outbreaks that kill millions of trees. Turning a tree into a home and successfully raising offspring involves constant interactions among the beetles, the tree ...

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 3, Page 1173-1187, February 2026.Summary Increasing climate warming and summer droughts are known to affect mountain plant communities, their functional traits and life strategies. However, little is known about how strongly and efficiently communities respond to climate change, and how tightly plant responses are linked to responses of ecosystem functions.

Functional characterization of NRT1/PTR FAMILY transporters: looking for a needle in a haystack
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 3, Page 1124-1144, February 2026.Summary NRT1/PTR FAMILY (NPF) transporters play crucial roles in plant physiology and development due to their involvement in nitrogen nutrition and their ability to transport multiple signaling molecules and metabolites. Whereas most eukaryotic and prokaryotic NPF orthologs are peptide transporters, most flowering plant NPF transport other substrates ...

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 1644-1658, February 2026.Summary Calcium (Ca2+) signaling is integral to nearly all aspects of plant biology, including development and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. It operates through two main layers: the generation of Ca2+ signals and their decoding by Ca2+‐binding proteins, which act early in diverse signaling pathways. The system exhibits remarkable robustness
