The Noble Chafer and traditional orchards: Evaluating the role of indicator species in the conservation of cultural landscapes

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 695-705, March 2026.
Abstract England's traditional orchards are important habitats for a range of invertebrate species, providing biodiverse habitat for many species not found in other landscapes. Increased loss of these once common landscape features, exacerbated by changing land use, anthropogenic habitat fragmentation, and the loss of traditional or customary practices,

Demystifying fungal systematics: A gateway to fungal literacy and societal/ecological relevance through familiar species

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 499-515, March 2026.
Fungal systematics can feel overwhelming given the vast species diversity within this kingdom, with numerous subgroups at every taxonomic rank. This often creates a disconnect between the undertsnidng of fungal taxonomic diversity and their societal relevance.

The role of Alpine botanical gardens in integrating germplasm bank collections and mission

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 680-692, March 2026.
This study underscores the vital role of Alpine botanical gardens (ABGs) in safeguarding Europe's alpine biodiversity amid climate change and habitat loss. By acting as living laboratories and reservoirs of plant genetic resources, ABGs bridge ex situ and in situ conservation, supporting ecosystem resilience and informing restoration strategies.

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.

The Dynamics of International Marketing: A Case Study of an International Alpine Resort in Hokkaido, Japan

Thunderbird International Business Review, Volume 68, Issue 2, Page 177-190, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines the dynamics of alpine resorts and their evolution in international marketing. International marketing is a complex process involving different actors across borders. The literature has often examined marketing at specific points in time.

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.

Deciphering How Olive Volatiles and Fatty Acids Shape Bactrocera oleae (Rosii) Oviposition Preference Using Multivariate Regression Models

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 2, Page 254-264, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The olive fly (Bactrocera oleae (Rossi)), the major pest of olives, primarily recognises visual, olfactory, acoustic, gustatory and tactile signals that regulate its behavioural activity, courtship and reproductive success, as well as the search for ideal conditions for its offspring.
