Imperfection in Semiconductors Leading to High Performance Devices

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 13, 3 March 2026.
Crystalline perfection is typically pursued in semiconductors to enhance device performance. However, through modeling and experimental work, we show that defects can be strategically employed in a specific detection regime to increase sensitivity to extreme values. GaN diodes are demonstrated to effectively detect high‐energy proton beams at fluxes as

Landscape heterogeneity affects developmental and dispersal‐related traits of a butterfly in agricultural landscapes

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 2, March 2026.
Abstract The loss and fragmentation of natural habitats due to the intensification of agricultural land use have detrimental impacts on the biodiversity of arthropods. The reduction of natural habitats results in a decreased availability of essential resources, which may select for rapid development and phenotypes enhancing dispersal ability.

Eco‐Evolutionary Dynamics of Generalist and Specialist Pollinators Facing Plant Diversity Changes

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We use a trait‐based eco‐evolutionary model to explore how changes in flowering plant composition affect interacting pollinators on short‐term ecological and long‐term evolutionary timescales. We find that evolutionary responses to landscape simplification, especially among generalist pollinators, may lead to a substantial loss of functional diversity ...

On the Limits of Alpine Plants: A Systematic Review of the Factors Behind Species' Elevational Range Limits

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This systematic review of 107 studies on the factors behind the elevational range limits of alpine vascular plants shows a persistent emphasis on upper limits and abiotic factors, especially temperature, while work at lower limits is more evenly distributed across water availability, plant–plant interactions, and selection/local adaptation.
