Curating landscapes to encourage care for biodiversity through arts and citizen science

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 9, Page 3110-3121, September 2026.
Abstract This study investigates how combining Citizen Science and Art workshops within curated wildflower meadows can generate repeated, positive experiences with nature, and foster a sense of care for it. The project aimed to increase awareness, encourage responsibility, and develop competencies related to urban nature.

Toward Plastic‐Free Vineyards: The Role of Bioplastics in Sustainable Viticulture—A Review

Polymers for Advanced Technologies, Volume 37, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Agricultural value chains consume more than 12.5 Mt. of plastics annually, and vineyard systems are a notable source of short‐lived plastic waste. In viticulture, conventional plastics improve agricultural efficiency, crop protection, and wine quality, but their widespread use raises environmental and health concerns.

Rootstock impacts on citrus flush dynamics, vegetative growth, and Diaphorina citri infestation and dispersion: Implications for huanglongbing management

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8795-8809, September 2026.
Dwarfing citrus rootstocks restrict flush shoot growth on the scion, thereby reducing Asian citrus psyllid infestation, dispersal, and huanglongbing (HLB) progression. These findings support the use of dwarfing rootstocks as an effective cultural strategy in integrated HLB management for citrus orchards.

Genomic prediction in quinoa across contrasting environments using statistical and machine learning models

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is gaining global importance for its nutritional value and adaptability; however, breeding progress remains limited. Genomic selection (GS), combined with rapid generation cycles, offers a strategy to accelerate genetic improvement.

Dissecting genetic architecture and improving machine learning‑based genomic prediction of flowering time in Osmanthus fragrans by integrating structural variants

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Sweet osmanthus (Osmanthus fragrans), a traditional ornamental plant in China, exhibits substantial variation in autumn flowering time, which significantly affects landscape application and cultivation efficiency. Here, we performed a genome‐wide association study on 127 resequenced accessions classified into early, intermediate, and late ...

Feathers and flu: identifying data gaps in avian influenza host dynamics to prioritize wildlife conservation Plumas y gripe: identificación de datos faltantes en la dinámica de hospedadores de la influenza aviar para priorizar la conservación de la vida silvestre

Wildlife Monographs, Volume 225, Issue 1, September 2026.
We describe the host response continuum for highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIV), including the continuum of host responses to HPAIV infection and exposure based on the primary axis of host competence, ability to infect other hosts, and host vulnerability.

NORi: An ML‐Augmented Ocean Boundary Layer Parameterization

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract NORi is a machine learning (ML) parameterization of ocean boundary layer (BL) turbulence that is physics‐based and augmented with neural networks. NORi stands for neural ordinary differential equations Richardson number (Ri) closure. The physical parameterization is controlled by a Richardson number‐dependent diffusivity and viscosity.

The Role of the Southeastern European Mountains as Cradles and Corridors of European Biodiversity: Insights From Agelenid Spiders

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The Southeastern European Mountain System (SEEMS) is a well‐known glacial refugium for European fauna. Bridging the Mediterranean and Caucasus biodiversity hotspots, it is a melting point for diverse faunal elements, but also a center of origin and subsequent dispersal of a unique component of European biodiversity.

Spatial and Seasonal Characterization of Climatic Favourability for Neonectria ditissima and Initial European Canker Development in High‐Altitude Apple‐Producing Regions of Southern Brazil

Journal of Phytopathology, Volume 174, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Apple production in southern Brazil is responsible for all national output. However, production is limited by phytosanitary constraints, particularly European canker (EC), caused by Neonectria ditissima. In this context, understanding the climatic factors associated with the infection and development of EC is essential to support more ...
