Catalysts for change: Museum gardens in a planetary emergency

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 401-410, March 2026.
Natural history museums are often seen as places with indoor galleries full of dry‐dusty specimens, usually of animals. But if they have gardens associated with them, museums can use living plants to create narratives that link outside spaces to inside galleries, bringing to life the challenges facing biodiversity.

Cryoprotectant systems and cold tolerance of insects inhabiting central Yakutia (Russian Far East)

European Journal of Entomology, 2016
Strong tolerance of freezing is an important strategy for insects living in extremely cold regions. They produce highly effective cryoprotectant systems consisting of ice-nucleating proteins and polyols, which enables tolerable freezing of the body fluid.

A Temporally Consistent Spatial Gradient in Methane Ebullition From a Eutrophic Lake

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Gas bubble emission (ebullition) from lake sediment is a prominent source of the greenhouse gas methane (CH4) to the atmosphere, but the stochastic nature of bubble release and thus high variability in space and time makes the estimation of lake CH4 ebullition challenging.
