Effects of Partner Workload and Increasing Environmental Temperature on Nestling Provisioning and Body Temperature in a Declining Aerial Insectivore

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 4, Page 414-426, May 2026.
ABSTRACT With climate change, birds will face increasing thermoregulatory demands, which may alter reproductive behaviors such as offspring provisioning. Experimental studies have shown that the provisioning capacity of female tree swallows (Tachycineta bicolor) is limited by their risk of overheating. Given that parental investment strategies may vary

Characterization of Pancreatic Cancer Tissue Using Multiphoton Excitation Fluorescence and Polarization-Sensitive Harmonic Generation Microscopy

Frontiers in Oncology, 2019
Thin tissue sections of normal and tumorous pancreatic tissues stained with hematoxylin and eosin were investigated using multiphoton excitation fluorescence (MPF), second harmonic generation (SHG), and third harmonic generation (THG) microscopies.

Engineering the 3′‐UTR of Tobacco Vein Mottling Virus to Confer Cross‐Protection Against Potyviruses

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
The 3′‐untranslated region (3′‐UTR) and its secondary structure of virus genomic RNA of tobacco vein mottling virus (TVMV) are important in symptoms attenuation, which can be engineered for cross‐protection against further viral infection. We provide experimental evidence that supports the roles of 3′‐UTR in potyvirus infection.

Divergent shifts in hydraulic versus carbon acquisition functional traits after wildfire in four Rocky Mountain tree species

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 1100-1117, April 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change has increased the frequency and severity of drought and large wildfire events across western North America. Despite the increasing concurrence of drought and wildfire events and the importance of forests as a global carbon sink, the impacts of fire on ...

Developmental Stage‐Specific Responses to Extreme Climatic Events and Environmental Variability in Great Tit Nestlings

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.
Extreme climatic events (ECEs) impact great tit nestlings in a developmental stage‐specific and context‐dependent manner. Using 60 years of data on 83,000+ great tit nestlings from Wytham Woods, UK, we show that cold snaps are detrimental to hatchlings, while older nestlings are more affected by extreme rain and heat.

Enteric Nervous System Striped Patterning and Disease: Unexplored PathophysiologySummary

Cellular and Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology
The enteric nervous system (ENS) controls gastrointestinal (GI) motility, and defects in ENS development underlie pediatric GI motility disorders. In disorders such as Hirschsprung’s disease (HSCR), pediatric intestinal pseudo-obstruction (PIPO), and ...

Insights Into Virus‐Encoded RNA Silencing Suppressors Across Viral Families: A Focus on Viruses Infecting Solanaceae Crops

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Viral suppressors of RNA silencing (VSRs) are proteins that interfere with antiviral defense mechanisms and enhance infection. For plant viruses, VSRs can be encoded in viral genomes and satellite molecules and play an important role in the virus's life cycle and in overcoming host defenses.

An integrated social–ecological–evolutionary–phenotypic (SEEP) approach to understanding animal responses to urbanization

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 419-436, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Humans play key roles in shaping the structure and processes of ecosystems globally, especially in cities. This recognition has prompted a recent focus on understanding urban systems via interactions between human social systems and ecological and evolutionary processes.

Native trees are related to advanced bird breeding phenology and increased reproductive success along an urban gradient

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Urban areas are altered from natural landscapes in several ways that can impact wildlife. Birds are widespread in urban areas, and it is well documented that there are phenotypic differences between urban and non‐urban conspecifics. However, little is known about which characteristics of the urban environment are driving differences. We used 9
