Designing Governance for ESG: Incentive and Oversight Complementarities in Corporate Sustainability Performance

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how internal governance design supports credible ESG performance by distinguishing between Incentive and Oversight Architectures. Using 13,993 firm‐year observations of US nonfinancial firms from 2018 to 2024, we estimate fixed effects and two‐step system GMM models.

Acute heat tolerance (CTmax) of two invasive parasitic copepods differs across species, life cycle stages and acclimation temperatures

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of heatwaves with potential consequences for host–parasite dynamics. While the acute heat tolerance of free‐living organisms has been intensively studied, much less is known about it for parasites and their life ...

Para-Sasaki-like Riemannian manifolds with generalized symmetric metric connection

Filomat
The present paper deals with the generalized symmetric metric connection defined on para-Sasaki-like Riemannian manifolds. We derive a relation between the Levi-Civita connection and the generalized symmetric metric conneciton on the considered manifold.

Ecohydrological characteristics of biocrusts explain divergent responses of biocrusts and grasses to rainfall reduction

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Drylands are mainly structured by both vascular plants and biological soil crusts (biocrusts), the latter often regarded as a self‐organizing component of these ecosystems.

Molecular and clinical features of a Japanese medulloblastoma cohort: Subgroup‐specific prognostic stratification using economical/accessible diagnostic methods

Brain Pathology, Volume 36, Issue 5, September 2026.
This study characterizes the molecular subgroup–specific features of a nationwide Japanese cohort comprising 242 medulloblastomas (MBs). Furthermore, we introduce SEE‐6‐CNA, a simple, cost‐effective, and FFPE‐compatible molecular test that is applicable to routine pathology samples and serves as a surrogate for risk stratification in non‐WNT/non‐SHH ...

Obesity Disrupts CtBP2‐Mediated Maintenance of Transcriptional Equilibrium in Hypothalamic Feeding Circuitry

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 15, 15 August 2026.
CtBP2, a transcriptional corepressor with metabolite sensing capabilities, maintains feeding homeostasis by preventing excessive food intake in the hypothalamic feeding center. CtBP2 limits food intake by inhibiting KLF4 within AgRP neurons and by promoting the inhibitory influence of POMC neurons on AgRP neurons.

Rice EMF3 Alleles Adjust Flower Opening Time to Enhance the Seed Setting Rate Under High Temperature Stress

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 8, Page 4780-4798, August 2026.
ABSTRACT To safeguard global food security against rapid population growth and a warming world, the effective genetic improvement of cereals is imperative. Flower opening time (FOT) critically affects the seed setting rate. In this study, we identified a gene, EARLY‐MORNING FLOWERING 3 (EMF3), in which single‐nucleotide substitutions strongly modulate ...

Spatial Regulation of Silicon Accumulation in Peduncle Confers Sheathed Spike in Barley

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 8, Page 4766-4779, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Peduncle, the uppermost internode in cereals, connects the stem to the inflorescence and is critical for the transport of water, nutrients and photosynthetic assimilates. While peduncle length associates with plant height and its elongation is primarily regulated by phytohormones, we report a previously unrecognized mechanism involving the ...

Negative Regulators of Rice Agronomic Traits: Functional Insights and Applications in Genome Editing‐Based Breeding

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 8, Page 4984-5001, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Rice is the staple crop for more than half of the global population, and improving grain yield, grain quality, and stress resistance remain central goals of modern rice breeding. Among current precision breeding strategies, genome editing has created new opportunities for crop improvement, but its success depends heavily on the selection of ...

Effect of Broad‐Spectrum Antibiotic Prophylaxis on Post‐Pancreatoduodenectomy Infectious Complications: Nationwide Inpatient Database Study in Japan

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, Volume 10, Issue 4, Page 1231-1238, July 2026.
Using a nationwide Japanese inpatient database, we evaluated whether broad‐spectrum antibiotic prophylaxis improves postoperative outcomes after pancreatoduodenectomy compared with narrow‐spectrum antibiotics. In propensity score–weighted analyses of 45 099 patients, broad‐spectrum prophylaxis was associated with significantly lower rates of intra ...
