Depleted Dissolved Oxygen Concentrations Impair the Embryonic and Early Larval Development of Eastern Hellbenders (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis)

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 2, Page 112-126, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Depletion of dissolved oxygen (DO; hypoxia) and its influence on sensitive fauna and vulnerable life stages is an emerging concern in lotic freshwater ecosystems. A species particularly vulnerable to hypoxia is the Eastern Hellbender—a large‐bodied, fully aquatic salamander which relies on cutaneous respiration and has evolved to thrive in ...

AI‐Powered Scoring for Creative Thinking: Methods and Challenges in PISA Assessment

open access: yesThe Journal of Creative Behavior, Volume 60, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The introduction of the PISA 2022 Creative Thinking assessment underscores the growing need for scalable, valid, and reliable methods to evaluate creativity in international large‐scale assessments. Traditional human scoring, while nuanced, is time‐consuming, costly, and subject to inconsistencies.

Cognitive Control and Creativity in Children: The Role of Task‐Specific Demands in Divergent Thinking

open access: yesThe Journal of Creative Behavior, Volume 60, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Cognitive control is known to support divergent thinking in adults, but findings in children remain mixed. This study examined the association between cognitive control—measured as a composite score from two executive function tasks—and verbal divergent thinking in 120 French‐speaking school‐aged children (aged 10 to 12 years). Originality and

Influence of Dry and Steam Thermal Pretreatments on the Structural Properties and Flowability of Faba Bean Flours

open access: yesLegume Science, Volume 8, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Faba beans are emerging as a promising alternative protein source for bakeries, snacks, cereals and ready‐to‐eat foods. The quality and consistency of such products depend strongly on the processing behaviour of their flours, including handling, storage, mixing and extrusion performance, all of which are governed by flour flow and structural ...

Toward Sustainable Fertilization: Biochar and Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria (PGPB) Influence on Sweet Pepper (Capsicuum annuum L.) Development and Production Under Reduced Nitrogen Input

open access: yesJournal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
The use of beneficial soil microorganisms and organic amendments is a desirable strategy for advancing sustainable horticultural systems. This study demonstrated that biochar and PGPB application with half N dose maintained sweet pepper growth and yield at levels comparable to full N dose, while promoting fruit quality, soil fertility and microbial ...

Pea Flours Display Wide‐Ranging Intrinsic Physicochemical and Functional Traits Affecting Their Role as Food Ingredients

open access: yesSustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 1, March 2026.
Pea flour functionality is rooted in genetic diversity. This study leverages rapid NIR spectral screening of 650 Pisum sativum accessions to uncover intrinsic variability in unrefined pea flours. Twenty spectrally distinct samples were selected for compositional and functional analysis. Wide‐ranging protein solubility and physicochemical heterogeneity,
