Development of a Grasshopper‐Leg‐Inspired Back‐Type Exoskeleton for the Reduction of Muscle Activation During Stoop Activities

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 2, Page 739-760, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Farmers frequently suffer from musculoskeletal disorders, particularly lower back pain (LBP), mainly due to occupational ergonomic factors such as repetitive stooping and lifting. This study proposes using an exoskeleton to reduce LBP risk by providing external torque to the hip joints.

Leaf transcriptome differences between diploid and tetraploid bahiagrass

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Polyploid individuals of the subtropical forage grass Paspalum notatum Flüggé (bahiagrass) exhibit distinct phenotypes, including apomixis, enhanced vigor, gigas effects, and increased stress tolerance. While apomixis‐based breeding programs supported by molecular tools have improved agronomic traits such as growth habit, forage dry matter ...

Does pollen form follow function? Effects of stigma type, pollination mode and habitat on pollen morphological traits

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 3, March 2026.
The results support the idea that pollen morphology is functionally adaptive and shaped by distinct phases of pollen performance: dispersal, environmental exposure, and stigma interaction. These findings highlight the potential of trait‐based approaches for understanding reproductive strategies in angiosperms.

Century‐long trends in plant diversity of temperate mountain vegetation are modulated along elevation gradient

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 3, March 2026.
Resurvey studies in mountain forests of the Tatra Mountains (Central Europe) show that plant diversity has increased over the past century, particularly at lower elevations. These shifts were associated more with increased nitrogen deposition and reduced grazing pressure than with direct climate warming.

Effectiveness of infrared sensor camera monitoring for detecting pollinator visits to Cremastra appendiculata var. variabilis in a temperate forest in Central Japan

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 2, March 2026.
A 4‐year survey of Cremastra appendiculata var. variabilis pollinators was conducted using a commercially available sensor camera throughout the flowering period. Additionally, sensor cameras and interval photography were used simultaneously to compare the number of videos capturing bumblebees.

Beyond Comorbidity: Evolutionary Insights Into the Concomitance of Neurodivergence, Major Depressive Disorder, and Anxiety Disorders

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Mainstream psychiatry continues to interpret neurodivergence through a disease paradigm, assuming that all cases of autism and ADHD reflect disordered brain development. This framing has contributed to the view that elevated rates of co‐occurring psychiatric diagnoses found in neurodivergent populations can be explained through shared ...
