Bioinspired Design of Extraordinary Wear‐Resistant Graphene/CoCrNi Multi‐Principal Element Alloy Composites

cMat, Volume 3, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The pursuit of simultaneously high wear resistance and excellent lubrication in multi‐principal element alloy (MPEA) composites is often hindered by a fundamental trade‐off, which is exacerbated by the agglomeration of high‐content graphene reinforcements.

Mineralogy and Formation of a Platinum Placer Deposit, Southern South Island, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.
Placer platinum group minerals (PGM), with subordinate detrital gold, have been concentrated in Pleistocene coastal sands near the present Foveaux Strait shoreline. This study characterises the PGM in what is New Zealand's only identified PGM deposit.

Veronica paczoskiana is no more than a pine forest ecotype of V. spicata that evolved independently in forest‐steppes of Ukraine and the Altai region

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
The Eurasian steppe area has been a dynamic vegetation biome during the Pleistocene with its repeated cycles of forest advances and retreats. Such a scenario allows the evolution of ecotypes at the ecotone with the potential for parallel evolution in different parts of the distribution area.

Tree Stands and Their Productivity Dynamics at the Upper Growing Limit in Khibiny on the Background of Modern Climate Changes [PDF]

, 2019
Within the ecotone of the upper limit of woody vegetation on the southeastern macroslope of the Khibiny Mountain ridge (Kola Peninsula), the spatial and age structure, as well as features of the phytomass accumulation of spruce–birch stands, were studied.

Adaptive Significance of Nickel Hyperaccumulation by Plants

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 2, March 2026.
Metal hyperaccumulation may enhance plant fitness through multiple, non‐exclusive mechanisms, including elemental defense against herbivores and pathogens, altered pollinator interactions, and increased reproductive performance in metal‐rich soils. Metals may also affect plant–plant interactions via elemental allelopathy and improve stress tolerance ...

Evolution and Climate Adaptation in Eurasian Gyrfalcon Populations

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This reports the influence of past, current and future Arctic climate change to the evolution of Eurasian gyrfalcons (Falco rusticolus), and reveals that its current evolutionary potential is insufficient to cope with the ongoing Arctic warming. ABSTRACT Climate change is considered a key driver for shaping ecological and evolutionary processes of ...
