Reconciling morphological and molecular approaches: The integrative taxonomy of Leucobryum (Leucobryaceae) in the Malagasy region

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Leucobryum (Leucobryaceae) is a genus of moss (Bryophyta) that has been poorly investigated in Africa, particularly in the western Indian Ocean region. This study integrates morphological and molecular data to revise the taxonomy of the genus in this area.

Robust Regional Contrast but Penetration‐Sensitive Snow Thickness Over Sea Ice From Multi‐Winter Antarctic CRYO2ICE Observations

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Snow on Antarctic sea ice modulates albedo, thermodynamic growth, and snow–ice formation, yet remains a leading uncertainty in altimetry‐derived sea‐ice thickness. Here we use the post‐2022 CRYO2ICE configuration to derive along‐track winter snow thickness from ICESat‐2 laser and CryoSat‐2 Ku‐band radar freeboards over the Weddell and Ross ...

A Hierarchical Organization Index for Tropical Convection Across Models and Observations

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Tropical convection often organizes into larger‐scale and longer‐lived structures, such as mesoscale convective systems and tropical cyclones (TCs). Despite its importance, most existing metrics of convective organization over a certain domain focus on spatial clustering, offering limited insight into how convective activity is partitioned ...

Benchmarking Full‐Length ITS Metabarcoding Across Illumina 2 × 500, PacBio, and Oxford Nanopore Sequencing Using Mock and Soil Communities

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 6, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Metabarcoding is a powerful tool for biodiversity comparisons, where standard‐size DNA barcodes (> 500 bases) offer better taxonomic resolution than shorter ones. Still, the choice of sequencing platforms and bioinformatics pipelines may strongly affect inferred diversity due to various technical biases. We assessed the relative performance of

The slow emergence of the rational investor: Grain markets and grain storage of rural estates in western Germany, eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries

The Economic History Review, Volume 79, Issue 3, Page 1235-1264, August 2026.
Abstract We develop new datasets of monthly grain prices in 14 urban markets and of the storage and marketing of grain by 5 rural estates located in western Germany between the late seventeenth century and c. 1860. We explore whether observed patterns of monthly prices, sales, and storage of grain are consistent with the rational competitive storage ...

Established Short‐Rotation Willow (Salix spp.) as an Effective Facilitator of Native Hardwood Tree Regeneration in New York State, USA

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.
In the Northeastern US, short‐rotation willow biomass crops have the potential to serve as nurse crops that facilitate hardwood regeneration on former agricultural land to support afforestation efforts. Regeneration declines with distance from natural seed sources, but could be augmented with seeding/underplanting.

Agentic Loafing: An AI Decision Delegation Risk

Risk Analysis, Volume 46, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly making decisions in healthcare, not just supporting them. This research introduces “agentic loafing” to describe the intentional yet unexamined delegation of decision‐making authority from clinicians to AI systems. Using netnography of professional podcasts and secondary analysis of gray literature,

Canola Fiber as Reinforcement for Composites: Effect of Fiber Extraction and Processing Method on Fiber Properties, Nonwoven Manufacturing, and Composite Properties

Polymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 14, Page 12992-13011, 20 July 2026.
Comparison of canola fiber reinforced composites manufactured using water‐retted, field‐retted, and enzyme‐treated fibers. ABSTRACT Canola fibers obtained from discarded stalks through various processing methods, including water‐retting and field‐retting followed by mechanical decortication and enzymatic degradation, were utilized as discontinuous ...
