Waders in a sea of debris: a global overview

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2253-2264, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The impact of plastic pollution on ecosystems and marine fauna is well documented, although research into its effects on waders (also known as shorebirds) remains limited. Given that waders are exposed to coastal marine litter, this exposure could be a significant factor in the decline of their populations. This study aims to assess the global

The Magnetic Signature of Shear Zones in Marbles and Experimental Simulations

open access: yesGeoscience Data Journal, Volume 13, Issue 4, October 2026.
This dataset explores how strain, microstructure, texture and magnetic susceptibility interact in natural and experimental shear zones. It includes data from low‐ and high‐temperature marble shear zones and analogue experiments simulating different deformation regimes.

On the Hardness of Switching to a Small Number of Edges

open access: yesJournal of Graph Theory, Volume 113, Issue 2, Page 237-251, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Seidel's switching is a graph operation which makes a given vertex adjacent to precisely those vertices to which it was non‐adjacent before, while keeping the rest of the graph unchanged. Two graphs are called switching‐equivalent if one can be made isomorphic to the other one by a sequence of switches. Jelínková et al. [DMTCS 13, no. 2, 2011]

Blind Estimation Versus Direct Measurement of the Arterial Input Function in Dynamic Contrast‐Enhanced MRI of the Breast

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 96, Issue 4, Page 1947-1955, October 2026.
PurposeAccurate arterial input functions (AIFs) are essential for quantitative dynamic contrast‐enhanced (DCE) MRI, yet direct measurement is challenging and population‐averaged AIFs neglect patient‐specific variability. Blind deconvolution provides an alternative by estimating patient‐specific AIFs directly from tissue data, up to a scale factor. This

Dualsteric and dual‐acting modulation of muscarinic receptors by antagonist KH‐5

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 19, Page 5769-5790, October 2026.
Abstract Background and purpose Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors are key therapeutic targets, and ligands engaging both orthosteric and allosteric sites may offer improved selectivity and efficacy. Here, we investigated whether the muscarinic antagonist KH‐5 acts as a dualsteric antagonist and defined its mode of interaction with muscarinic receptors.

Persistence without prosperity at the upper range margin: Elevation, microhabitat buffering and biotic pressure in a range‐expanding spider

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 5, Page 926-943, October 2026.
Anthropogenic linear features facilitate high‐elevation colonization. Parasitoid pressure declines markedly with elevation. Cocoon damage increases despite reduced parasitism at high elevation. Abstract The upper elevational range limits of thermophilic arthropods reflect constraints on population persistence rather than simple presence.

Congruence and Compatibility in Functional Regional Taxonomy: Principles and Applications

open access: yesGeographical Analysis, Volume 58, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The article connects several concepts that were previously used and evaluated separately in functional regional taxonomy and in the delineation of functional regions. Typically, functional regions are not defined based on absolute values of population flows.

Divergent trajectories of genome architecture and chromosome evolution in ferns and angiosperms

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 1, Page 427-442, October 2026.
Variation in key fern genomic traits across families, mapped onto a summary phylogenetic tree. Summary Ferns and angiosperms represent the two largest vascular plant lineages but exhibit striking genomic and ecological contrasts. We investigated whether differences in genome size, chromosome architecture, GC content, and stomatal traits reveal ...

A trait‐based integration of competition and abiotic tolerance underlies plant success

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 1, Page 87-99, October 2026.
Competitive effect and abiotic tolerance show positive associations with species' niche breadth and local dominance. Summary Understanding what determines species' ecological success is a central challenge in ecology. Competitive ability and abiotic tolerance are expected to be strong predictors of species success, yet theory predicts a trade‐off ...

Effect of Humidity on Ionisation and Ion Chemistry in Active‐Capillary Dielectric Barrier Discharge Ionisation

open access: yesRapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 40, Issue 18, 30 September 2026.
ABSTRACT Rationale Dielectric barrier discharge ionisation (DBDI) in an active‐capillary configuration (including the commercial SICRIT source) is widely used as a soft, ambient‐pressure ionisation method for vapours and gases, yet the role of water vapour in controlling reagent ion chemistry and analytical behaviour has not been mechanistically ...
