Expanding Possibilities for the Use of Writing Genres in Early Elementary Science: Investigating First‐Graders’ Multimodal Sequential Explanations

Science Education, Volume 110, Issue 4, Page 1079-1095, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the outcomes of the implementation of a first grade unit incorporating multiple modes of representation and genre‐based pedagogy to support writing instruction in the genre of sequential explanations. At the end of a 6‐day unit investigating the structure and functions of carnivorous plants, 47 first graders completed a

Epistemic Objects and Tools on the School Grounds: Addressing Plant Blindness and Knowledge Construction

Science Education, Volume 110, Issue 4, Page 1152-1168, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Plants mediate the supply of energy and matter for all animals, including human beings yet we are faced with “plant blindness” whereby we pay limited attention to and accord little value to plants. Plant blindness is evident in school curricula whereby students have limited opportunities to learn about plants.

Generalist passerine birds perform a functional role as pollinators in temperate Europe

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 7, July 2026.
Nectar‐feeding birds are effective pollinators. In temperate Europe, songbirds visit flowers but lack specialist traits, so functional pollination has been discounted. We use observations, pollen identification and experiments to demonstrate that generalist birds affect fruit‐set of flowering trees.

Recurrent Visitation by Lycaenid Butterflies and Honeybees to the Same Individuals of Achyranthes bidentata (Amaranthaceae)

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 4, July 2026.
The common perennial weed Achyranthes bidentata (Amaranthaceae) produces many flowers to attract diverse insect pollinators. The authors here found that lycaenid butterflies made long‐distance visits between individual plants, whereas honeybees were inclined to visit multiple flowers within an individual plant. These findings highlight potential agents

Antioxidants in Plant‐Based Food Matrices: From Structure–Activity and Degradation Kinetics to Formulation Design

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant‐based antioxidants are widely incorporated into foods to retard oxidative deterioration and to deliver health‐related benefits. Yet, their in‐product and in vivo performance frequently diverges from predictions based on solution‐phase chemical assays, because matrix interactions, processing history, and host metabolism reshape both ...
