AMPK‐mediated prevention of vascular dysfunction with metformin: Experimental and population‐based evidence

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 17, Page 5389-5406, September 2026.
Angiotensin II induces vascular inflammation, senescence, extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation and endothelial dysfunction, thus impairing SK+/IK+ channel function and reducing endothelial‐dependent hyperpolarisation (EDH). Metformin activates AMPK, increasing SK+/IK+ channel function and restoring vasorelaxation.

Dovetailing the Genetic, Developmental and Functional Bases of the Adaptation of Stomatal Traits to Climate

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 9, September 2026.
For diverse ecotypes of Arabidopsis thaliana grown in a common garden, we tested a three‐tier approach to clarifying the drivers of gmax. Our analyses yielded novel findings for this wide‐ranging species: a larger gmax was achieved through greater epidermal allocation to stomata, via a higher stomatal index and smaller epidermal pavement cells; larger ...

Climatic and Hydrological Changes Drive Contemporary Fire Regime Transitions in the World's Largest Wetland

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
Long‐term fire data (1985–2024) and integrated modeling reveal a climate and hydrology‐driven transition toward larger fires, increased burned area, and a longer fire season, indicating the emergence of a new fire regime in the Pantanal. ABSTRACT Tropical wetlands have historically been resilient to fire, but ongoing climate and hydrological changes ...

Radiocarbon Reveals Modern Carbon Exchange With Topsoil Inorganic Carbon in Drylands

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
Radiocarbon measurements across drylands reveal that topsoil inorganic carbon carries a measurable modern carbon signature linked to soil pH and organic carbon pools. This modern imprint weakens with increasing aridity and soil depth, indicating reduced exchange with contemporary carbon sources under drier conditions and in deeper soils.

Trait–Climate Relationships Are Comparable for Modern Pollen Assemblages and Extant Vegetation Plots

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Reliable climate simulations require comparison with robust reconstructions of past climates, often based on fossil pollen assemblages. This is particularly critical in drylands, where climate models frequently diverge. Yet, traditional pollen‐based reconstructions often overlook the mechanistic links between climate and plant functioning,
