Projections of Earth's Hottest Surface Temperatures in CMIP6

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Earth's hottest near‐surface air temperatures provide a benchmark for the upper tail of land heat extremes. Using CMIP6 simulations, we evaluate historical extremes against Berkeley Earth and project future changes under SSP2‐4.5 and abrupt‐4 × CO2 ${\text{CO}}_{2}$.

A global review of mistletoe frugivory and seed dispersal: The plant perspective

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1303-1314, August 2026.
We reviewed studies on mistletoe frugivory and seed dispersal worldwide. Although mistletoes are relatively well studied, major taxonomic, geographic, and methodological gaps remain. We conclude that modern technologies offer new opportunities to address long‐standing but still poorly explored questions about these interactions.

Large Scale Connectivity of River Networks During Rainfall Events

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract River connectivity is essential for maintaining fertile floodplains, healthy ecosystems, and human activities, particularly in semi‐arid regions, where water flow is often intermittent. Despite its importance, very few studies have attempted to quantify connectivity at the scale of individual rainfall‐runoff events. In this study, we present a

Fall Soil Moisture Modulates Snow‐Streamflow Dynamics in the Colorado River Basin

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The Colorado River Basin (CRB) has experienced a prolonged drought since 2000, with recent years showing a weakened relationship between snowpack conditions and streamflow. In this study, we examined the roles of fall soil moisture and spring weather on modulating snow‐streamflow dynamics in the CRB and its sub‐basins.

Effects of Time‐Since‐Fire on Ant Interactions With Nectar Resources in a Semi‐Arid Landscape

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Semi‐arid ecosystems are shaped by frequent wildfires, making the management of landscape disturbances a major conservation challenge in this region. Ant–plant nectar interactions, driven by mutualisms, contribute to ecosystem functioning and biodiversity, with interaction networks a poorly understood aspect of ecosystem recovery from ...

Adaptation and Response in Drylands: A Dryland Research Agenda and Campaign Strategy

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
The Adaptation and Response in Drylands (ARID) campaign was selected by NASA as a scoping study to develop a research agenda for a dryland field campaign. Here, we detail our ARID science research agenda and implementation plan that were developed based on an extensive community engagement effort in over 160 events with over a thousand scientists, land

Phylogenetic Structure and Environment Explain Body Size in North American Killifishes

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Investigate maximum‐length patterns in North American killifishes within an evolutionary macroecological framework by examining how body size evolved, how it varies across the geographic range, and how large‐scale environmental variables shape body‐size geography. Location North America.

Novel Glomeromycotina–moss associations identified in California dryland biocrusts

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 1, Page 151-163, July 2026.
Summary Drylands, which comprise c. 45% of Earth's land area, host biological soil crusts (biocrusts): symbiotic communities of cyanobacteria, fungi, algae, lichen, and bryophytes that stabilize soil and support key ecosystem functions. Moss‐dominated biocrusts are particularly interesting due to their potential to illuminate ancient bryophyte–fungal ...
