Herbivore and mesocarnivore carcasses trigger divergent short‐term changes in soil properties

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Scavengers reshape nutrient cycles in soils under carrion. Compared to herbivore carcasses, smaller but longer‐lasting carnivore remains boost nutrient levels and microbial activity in dry soils. Abstract Animal corpses act as pulses of organic matter (OM) and serve a key zoogeochemical role by providing localized nutrient inputs to soils and thereby ...

From glacial echoes to timber pathways: Climatic–historical drivers and timber‐trade influence on the phylogeography of Ips sexdentatus in the Basque Country

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Ips sexdentatus is expanding across southern Europe, attacking multiple Pinus species and showing the ability to colonize trees at early stages of decline. Genetic analysis of 668 individuals revealed 106 haplotypes, with Iberian populations as diversity hotspots, reflecting long‐term refugial persistence alongside more recent demographic expansion ...

Thermotolerance thresholds of the photosystem II increase with elevation in conifer species in the Spanish Pyrenees

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
In vitro‐tested photosystem II thermotolerance of seven temperate conifers indicated higher thermal thresholds in species growing in high elevations compared to those in the lowlands. Higher thermotolerance might be explained by the adaptation of species in higher elevations to extreme diurnal temperature fluctuations.

The impact of seasonal variations in inner bark width and xylem growth on irreversible annual stem diameter measurements

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The seasonal variation in inner bark width differed from that of xylem growth, indicating that xylem phenology cannot be reliably assessed without cellular observations. Abstract To better interpret continuous xylem growth measurements from dendrometers, we evaluated how the widths of developing xylem and phloem, along with seasonal trends in inner ...

Pinus pinea L. Periderm as a Sustainable Source of Phenolic Bioactives: Integrated Phytochemical, Antioxidant, and Elemental Investigation

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 8, August 2026.
A hydroalcoholic extract from the renewable periderm of Pinus pinea is characterized through integrated phytochemical, biological and elemental analyses. The extract exhibits a phenolic‐rich composition, significant antioxidant activity and preliminary protection against oxidative stress in SH‐SY5Y cells, while elemental profiling indicates low levels ...

Reciprocal relations shape cultural landscapes: Women's environmental stewardship in Ait Bouguemez (High Atlas, Morocco)

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2847-2865, August 2026.
Abstract Mountain social–ecological systems encompass steep ecological gradients and diverse cultural practices, yet the relative roles of these factors in shaping mountain landscapes remain underexplored. In particular, the knowledge and practices of women in coproducing biocultural landscapes are often invisible in the academic literature. In the Ait

Botanical inventory of the early book herbaria of Leonhard Rauwolf from southern France and northern Italy (1560–1563)

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Sixteenth‐century herbaria are the oldest plant collections that survive today and, as such, they provide valuable insights in past floras and historical botanical interactions. One of the most fascinating still extant 16th‐century herbaria is the four‐volume collection of the German physician, botanist and traveler Leonhard Rauwolf (1535 ...
