Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.The Irano‐Turanian Floristic Region harbors a rich flora, but our understanding of the development of this diversity is limited by a lack of data on phylogenetic relationships and biogeographic patterns of endemic and more widespread plants. Hypotheses of in situ diversification versus allopatric diversification were tested using Iris subgen. Scorpiris,

Both density‐ and frequency‐dependent effects determine plant growth in a dune heath ecosystem
Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.We tested the hypothesis that both density‐ and frequency‐dependent interactions play important roles in determining plant growth in a dune heath ecosystem at several levels of available nitrogen. Plant growth was measured using the pin‐point method in a five‐block experiment with four nitrogen levels.

Rendering transparency to ranking in educational assessment via Bayesian comparative judgement
Review of Education, Volume 14, Issue 2, August 2026.Abstract Transparency in educational assessment has become an increasingly pressing concern, particularly in the aftermath of the pandemic, as institutions seek more equitable, robust and defensible methods of evaluating student work. Comparative judgement (CJ) has gained traction as a promising alternative to traditional rubric‐based marking. However,

Pragmatic Two‐Stage Design for Clinical Trials With Treatment Selection
Statistics in Medicine, Volume 45, Issue 18-19, August 2026.ABSTRACT Clinical trials are inherently complex and become more challenging when selecting one treatment from many while also evaluating the efficacy. In this paper, we develop a pragmatic design that balances sample efficiency and practicality through a two‐stage sequential approach.

Wildlife Monographs, Volume 223, Issue 1, August 2026.We synthesized GPS telemetry, genetic, and pathogen data to evaluate metapopulation processes in a reintroduced Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis canadensis) population in Dinosaur National Monument. We estimated subpopulation‐specific abundances and found 4 small subpopulations with high genetic diversity, partial connectivity, and ...
