De novo or Salvage? Nucleotide Availability as a Driver of Bacterial Adaptation and Virulence

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
Bacterial pathogens survive in different host environments by switching between making nucleotides by de novo synthesis and scavenging them from the host. This flexibility supports growth and virulence making nucleotide metabolism an attractive therapeutic target.

Seafloor Displacements Across the Mid‐Ocean Ridge Eruption Cycle Modulated by Mush Zone Viscosity

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Mid‐ocean ridges (MORs) are active volcanic systems where axial magma lenses (AMLs) are replenished on decadal time scales, enabling frequent dike intrusions. The associated seafloor deformation, however, remains scarcely understood. Here we assess this deformation by simulating cycles of steady AML inflation followed by instantaneous dike ...

Genetic differentiation and adaptive evolution of buff‐tailed bumblebees in Asia

open access: yesInsect Science, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1719-1736, August 2026.
This study investigates the genetic differentiation and local adaptation of the buff‐tailed bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) across its European and Asian populations. Using whole‐genome resequencing, we identified distinct genetic differences between populations, with Asian B. terrestris representing a unique genetic resource.

Focused deterrence can reduce crime: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials and quasi‐experiments

open access: yesCriminology &Public Policy, Volume 25, Issue 3, Page 407-437, August 2026.
Abstract Research summary Crime and violence continue to be problems that plague urban areas across the United States and the globe. One key approach for responding to these problems is “focused deterrence” which includes programs that prevent criminal behavior by blending criminal justice, social service, and community‐based action.

Beta Diversity and Rarity Assessment of Sessile Cryptobenthic Communities Across Depth and Islands Can Inform Coral Reef Conservation

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim This study investigates a poorly known component of coral reefs, the cryptobiome, species that live hidden within the reef matrix, essential for reef functioning and productivity. It focuses on patterns of diversity and rarity of sessile cryptobenthic communities across Mascarene islands, and across shallow and mesophotic habitats (in deep

Interplay Between Species Traits, Community and Environmental Context Governs Temporal Stability in Riverine Fish Populations

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 8, August 2026.
Analysing abundance time‐series for 7912 fish populations across multiple biogeographic realms, this study demonstrates that temporal stability is influenced by interactions among species traits, environmental marginality and community richness. Specifically, stability is maximized in equilibrium strategists, populations situated near their thermal and

Pollination Under Pressure: Grazing and Nutrient Enrichment Reshape Arctic Pollinator Communities and Interaction Networks

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Grazing exclusion reshaped Arctic flower‐visitor communities, increased plant‐pollinator interactions, and altered interaction networks, while nutrient enrichment had weaker, context‐dependent effects. Together the two drivers produced both independent and interactive effects, with tundra grasslands showing the greatest sensitivity to environmental ...

From Affect to Values: A Lexical Approach

open access: yesJournal of Personality, Volume 94, Issue 4, Page 563-583, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Personal values act as guiding principles in life and are thought to be connected to affective experiences; however, past research has primarily examined the direction from values to affect rather than the reverse. This study identified theoretical frameworks suggesting a causal pathway from affect to values and tested this ...
