DNA metabarcoding reveals key floral resources for native pollinators in post‐fire landscapes
Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 7, October 2026.Abstract Wildfires are a natural disturbance in dry ponderosa pine forest ecosystems, and are increasing in frequency and severity across western North America. The effects of wildfire on biotic and abiotic conditions have important implications for higher trophic levels, including native bees. We sought to quantify the responses of flowering plants to

Laser‐Induced Graphene‐Based Resistive Leaf Wetness Sensors for Pesticide Spray Deposition
Global Challenges, Volume 10, Issue 10, October 2026.A laser‐induced graphene leaf wetness sensor is fabricated by CO2 laser‐patterning interdigitated electrodes on flexible polyimide and adding silver‐paste contacts through a shadow mask. Calibration with multiple pesticide formulations and tap water shows decreasing resistance with increasing deposited volume, while spray tests demonstrate close ...
