Frost Tolerance Increases With Plant Height Among Co‐Occurring Alpine Species in the Central Tibetan Plateau

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Frost tolerance (LT50) varies greatly among species coexisting in an alpine community. Taller plants are more frost‐tolerant, reversing the expected intra‐community pattern. Evidence for a frost survival trade‐off: avoidance in short plants vs. tolerance in tall plants.

Did Cold Resistance Influence the Success of the Halobiont Darkling Beetle Centorus rufipes (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae) During the Pleistocene?

Insects
Centorus rufipes (Gebler, 1833) is the only tenebrionid beetle commonly found in late Pleistocene deposits of southern western Siberia. It is assumed that the reasons for its success during the Last Glacial Maximum could have been its cold resistance and/

Conjugated 2′‐Fucosyllactose–Potato Protein Hydrolysate as Novel Prebiotics

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
This study introduces a novel protein‐containing prebiotic based on 2′‐FL‐PPH Maillard conjugates micelles that co‐deliver proteins and carbohydrates to the colon to selectively nourish colonic probiotics. These digestion‐resistant micelles enhanced Bifidobacteria, SCFAs, gut barrier integrity, and metabolic health more effectively than conventional ...

Laboratory Characterization of Cryogenic Frost‐Point Hygrometers Using an Upper Air Simulator

Meteorological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Cryogenic frost‐point hygrometers (CFHs) are widely used to accurately measure water vapor pressure in the upper atmosphere. The performance of CFHs has been thoroughly evaluated using an Upper Air Simulator (UAS), a controlled laboratory system designed to generate and regulate frost‐point levels across a range of temperatures.

Modeling Hydro‐Ice‐Thermal Dynamics in Open Channels by a Double Layer‐Averaged Model

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Ice processes in open channels are inherently multi‐physics phenomena, characterized by strong coupling of hydrodynamics, heat transfer, and phase‐change dynamics. While many models have been proposed to investigate ice processes, previous studies are often limited by oversimplified representations of flow, presumptions on channel geometry ...

A new reference for changes in X‐ray scattering from water due to temperature changes at ambient conditions

Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 649-657, May 2026.
A newly measured reference dataset for the temperature differential scattering signal of water, acquired at the DanMAX beamline of the MAX IV synchrotron, is presented.The X‐ray solution scattering from water S(Q)H2O depends on temperature and density, a phenomenon that is utilized in, for example, temperature‐resolved and ultrafast time‐resolved X‐ray

New opportunities for grassland species in warming temperate winters

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1138-1150, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Temperate winters are getting warmer, the length of the growing season is increasing and mid‐winter fluctuations of warm and freezing temperatures are more frequent. Although typically winter dormant, some herbaceous perennials can maintain or grow green leaves during ...

Experimental and Thermodynamic Modeling Study of Phase Equilibria in the FeO–Fe2O3–SnO–SnO2–SiO2 System

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Experimental investigation and thermodynamic modeling of the phase equilibria in the FeO–Fe2O3–SnO–SnO2–SiO2 system have been undertaken to characterize Sn behavior in iron silicate slags for recycling of waste electrical and electronic materials (WEEE) through black copper process.

Microspherules formed by lightning strikes

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 5, Page 743-767, May 2026.
Abstract Natural microspherules are formed by high‐temperature processes and are present throughout the geologic record to the present day. We report the discovery of large numbers of microspherules recovered from a rock pavement in the Pilbara region, Western Australia.
