A Direct DNA Extraction Workflow for Metabarcoding Fungal Bioaerosols From Adhesive Samplers
Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 10, October 2026.We developed a direct DNA extraction workflow for PCR sealing films used as adhesive samplers for fungal bioaerosol monitoring, overcoming a longstanding limitation in culture‐independent bioaerosol analysis. This optimised method eliminates glue‐removal pretreatment and enables direct culture‐independent analysis, with ITS2 metabarcoding revealing ...

Cuttings, Combings, Fettlings and Flock: Gender and Australian Wool ‘Waste’, 1900–1950
Gender &History, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 859-869, October 2026.ABSTRACT As Australia's wool industry produced vast amounts of fine fleece from the nineteenth century, the wool processing and clothes manufacturing industries generated waste – products like cuttings, combings, fettlings and flock. Salvaged and then sold to waste merchants, these and other materials had a second life.

The Escalating Threat of Heatwaves in Central Asia: Climate Change Impacts and Public Health Risks
Global ChallengesExtreme temperature events, particularly heatwaves, are intensifying due to climate change and urbanization, posing major public health challenges in Central Asia (CA), where research is limited. Despite the rising frequency and severity of heat extremes,

Informality and the Development and Demolition of Urban Villages in the Chinese Peri-urban Area [PDF]
, 2013 The fate of Chinese urban villages (chengzhongcun) has recently attracted both research and policy attention. Two important unaddressed questions are: what are the sources of informality in otherwise orderly Chinese cities; and, will village ...

Global Climatology of the Daytime Surface Cooling of Urban Parks Using Satellite Observations
Geophysical Research LettersGreen infrastructure‐based heat mitigation strategies can help alleviate the overheating burden on urban residents. While the cooling effect of parks has been explored in individual satellite‐based studies, a global, multi‐year investigation has been ...

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 4, Page 1364-1377, October 2026.Artificial breeding structures, such as nestboxes, can potentially influence the population size and conservation status of bird species relying on heavily human‐modified environments such as agroecosystems and urban areas. However, the effectiveness of these interventions may vary, as artificial structures could attract individuals to suboptimal ...

Environmental Research: HealthMesoscale modeling applications assessing urban-heat-reducing strategies, such as cool roofs, usually assume uniform implementation. While informative at the city scale, this approach offers limited insight into practical deployment and usually does not ...

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 10, Page 7526-7538, October 2026.ABSTRACT Extreme heat can push plants beyond their thermal safety margin (TSM) if maximum leaf temperature (Tleaf_max) exceeds leaf critical temperature (Tcrit). The TSM is potentially useful for assessing heat vulnerability across species but needs further validation, so we exposed 50 tree/shrub species in controlled glasshouses to a 6‐day heatwave ...
