Dominant Role of Habitat Transformation in Driving the Divergence of Health‐Risk Related Microbial Functional Genes in Karst Mountain Parks: A Metagenomic Study

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This manuscript elucidates the impact of transforming karst mountain forests into urban parks on health‐risk related microbial functional genes and its implications for mitigating potential public health exposures. Distinctively, the study advances prior research by evaluating the variation in health‐related functional genes within parks of varying ...

What do We Mean by Environmental Heterogeneity? Toward A Mechanistically Explicit and Scale‐Dependent Framework

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We synthesized 360 studies on environmental heterogeneity (EH) across taxa, regions, and disciplines. Only 10% of studies explicitly defined EH, and definitions were predominantly descriptive. We identify four operational interpretations of EH and propose a Research Roadmap linking EH metrics to five mechanistic hypotheses with testable predictions ...

Genomic and Morphological Insights Into the Adaptive Evolution of Honeybees in Rocky Desertification Habitats

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Rocky desertification exerts significant selective pressures on honeybee morphology. Honeybees undergo adaptive evolution in 19 genes such as glycogen biosynthesis. Genes like GBE promote organismal survival under desertification. ABSTRACT Unlike traditional desertification, rocky desertification is a distinct form of land degradation characterized by ...

Functional Links Between Leaf Traits, Soil Properties, and Aboveground Biomass Along an Altitudinal Gradient in Chitwan, Nepal

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Resource‐acquisitive leaf traits enhance aboveground biomass accumulation, whereas structural traits constrain it. Elevation and soil properties shape trait expression and biomass across the gradients. ABSTRACT Altitudinal gradients strongly influence plant species diversity and functional trait expression in forest ecosystems.

Power, (De)Politicisation and Polycentric Governance: Evidence From UK Local Climate Policy

Environmental Policy and Governance, Volume 36, Issue 4, Page 1095-1110, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This article extends (de)politicisation theory to elucidate power dynamics in polycentric governance. It develops an original analytical framework to empirically investigate how governmental, societal and discursive (de)politicisation processes emerge within and across decision‐making centres. The framework focuses on dimensions of technocracy,

Polyphenols in Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) Seeds: Comparison of Profiles Among Five Cultivars and Evaluation of Anti‐Inflammatory, Analgesic Potentials

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Among the purified polyphenols derived from five cultivars of litchi seeds, the Heiye cultivar contained relatively higher phenolic contents. The litchi seed polyphenols exhibited anti‐inflammatory and analgesic potentials in vitro and in vivo, which were tightly associated with the major compounds including procyanidin A1, procyanidin A2, and ...

Comparison of the Relationships Between Body Size and Cardiorespiratory Fitness With High Frequency Head‐Motion Contamination in fMRI

Human Brain Mapping, Volume 47, Issue 11, 01 August 2026.
We examine, in older adults, whether cardiorespiratory fitness and body size associate with head motion related signals that introduce noise to brain scans. Body size was most strongly related to head motion, and following an exercise intervention, only reduced body size was related to reduced head motion.

Selecting Promising Soil Quality Indicators for Monitoring Soil Management Effects Based on 10 European Long‐Term Field Experiments

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 189, Issue 4, Page 499-517, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background: Soil quality can be measured through soil quality indicators that reflect soil processes. Aim: The aim of this study was to (1) identify a limited set of soil quality indicators that are most sensitive to agricultural soil management and that are widely applicable regardless of pedo‐climatic conditions, and (2) link common ...
