Multiple signalling increases both prey response and diversity in a carnivorous pitcher plant
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 451-462, February 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Organisms across the tree of life use multiple signals such as colour, movement sound, and many types of chemical signals to convey seemingly the same information. These signals are potentially costly, yet the repeated evolution of multiple signalling across systems ...

Surfactant longevity and wetting characteristics
California Agriculture, 1969 OBSERVATIONS of water repellency in soils made over the past 10 years throughout the world have indicated that this particular problem is more important than had previously been thought.

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.This opinion article highlights how microbial VOCs can support sustainable crop protection and outlines the ecological, analytical and translational challenges that currently limit their field application. It proposes practical and technological pathways to bridge the gap between laboratory discoveries and on‐farm deployment.

PFHydro: A New Watershed-Scale Model for Post-Fire Runoff Simulation [PDF]
, 2020 Runoff increases after wildfires that burn vegetation and create a condition of soil-water repellence (SWR). A new post-fire watershed hydrological model, PFHydro, was created to explicitly simulate vegetation interception and SWR effects for four burn ...

From beginning to end: the synecology of tree‐killing bark beetles, fungi, and trees
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 314-335, February 2026.ABSTRACT Over a century of research has revealed an amazing complexity of behaviours and physiological adaptations that allow tiny bark beetles to overcome large trees, sometimes resulting in outbreaks that kill millions of trees. Turning a tree into a home and successfully raising offspring involves constant interactions among the beetles, the tree ...

Application of hydrophobic fluorinated silicon oxide nanoparticle coating on electrodynamic screen (EDS) films for enhancing self-cleaning function of solar collectors [PDF]
, 2020 Optical surfaces, which are exposed to outdoor environmental conditions, are susceptible to dust deposition. Sunlight incident on the surface of photovoltaic (PV) modules is attenuated by the dust layer accumulation on the front surface of the modules ...

Extent and persistence of soil water repellency induced by pines in different geographic regions
Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2018 The extent (determined by the repellency indices RI and RIc) and persistence (determined by the water drop penetration time, WDPT) of soil water repellency (SWR) induced by pines were assessed in vastly different geographic regions.

Enhancing Soil Physical Quality with Compost Amendments: Effects of Particle Size and Additives
AgronomyThis research investigates the impact of compost particle size, compost additives, and application rate on the physical properties of loamy sand soil, particularly focusing on water retention characteristics. Compost, enriched with additives like zeolite,
