Performative Anchoring Practices and the Making of Belonging in Diaspora

Studies in Ethnicity and Nationalism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines how Greekness is constructed and negotiated by a member of the Greek second generation in Italy, a population largely absent from contemporary diaspora scholarship. Through a biographical and socio‐anthropological approach grounded in long‐term ethnographic fieldwork, the study shows how belonging emerges not as inherited

Executive Function and Epigenetic Markers in Youth Exposed to Family and Community Violence in Childhood

Developmental Psychobiology, Volume 68, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Although exposure to violence has been linked to executive functioning impairments, the biological mechanisms underlying this association remain unclear. This study examined CpG sites associated with executive functions in 78 young adults and their links to family (psychological and physical) and community violence during childhood. The scales

Thermally Primed Zostera muelleri Seeds Exhibit Higher Germination Rates Than Those From Ambient Conditions

Ecology and Evolution
Seagrasses provide critical ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration, sediment stabilisation and nursery habitat for juvenile fish. Zostera muelleri is ubiquitous within Australian and New Zealand estuaries, however, as a species is relatively ...

Environmental maternal effects mediate the resistance of maritime pine to biotic stress.

PLoS ONE, 2013
The resistance to abiotic stress is increasingly recognised as being impacted by maternal effects, given that environmental conditions experienced by parent (mother) trees affect stress tolerance in offspring.

Paternal Exposure to the Neonicotinoid Pesticide Clothianidin Alters Sperm MicroRNA Profiles in Mice and Intergenerationally Reduces Locomotor Activity in Male Offspring

Journal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 46, Issue 9, Page 3164-3176, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Accumulating evidence suggests that paternal environmental factors have epigenetic effects on sperm and influence offspring. Neonicotinoid pesticides (NNs), which are widely used around the world, are known to affect offspring phenotypes through maternal exposure in mice, but the effect of the paternal exposure remains unknown.

Dietary restriction induces persistent multigenerational phenotypic effects in Phytoseiulus persimilis

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8725-8733, September 2026.
The study shows ancestral dietary restriction in Phytoseiulus persimilis produces persistent, sex‐specific, multi‐generational effects on survival and body size, with stronger maternal than paternal lineage influences despite nutritional recovery. Abstract BACKGROUND Transgenerational phenotypic plasticity (TGP) allows environmental effects to persist ...

Nitrogen‐Starved Wheat: A Multi‐Omics Perspective From Epigenome Regulation to Grain Quality

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
This review establishes epigenetic regulation, specifically H3K27ac and H3K27me3 dynamics at nitrogen transporter, assimilation, and storage protein loci, as a principal determinant of cultivar‐specific nitrogen use efficiency in hexaploid wheat, independent of DNA sequence variation, and identifies the rhizosphere microbiome as an integral but ...

Molecular insights and translational opportunities to enhance heat tolerance in rice

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Heat stress is an increasingly serious threat to rice (Oryza sativa L.) productivity, yet the genetic and regulatory architecture underlying thermotolerance remain poorly resolved and fragmented across studies. Earlier research focused on individual pathways or specific developmental stages; however, recent advances now support an integrated ...

Meta-analyses reveal climate change impacts on an ecologically and economically significant oyster in Australia

iScience
Summary: Global oceans are warming and acidifying because of increasing greenhouse gas emissions that are anticipated to have cascading impacts on marine ecosystems and organisms, especially those essential for biodiversity and food security.

Speciation, Phenotypic Variation and Plasticity: What Can Endocrine Disruptors Tell Us?

International Journal of Endocrinology, 2013
Phenotype variability, phenotypic plasticity, and the inheritance of phenotypic traits constitute the fundamental ground of processes such as individuation, individual and species adaptation and ultimately speciation. Even though traditional evolutionary
