abstract = {Highlights: What are the main findings? Elevation-dependent modelling achieves excellent performance: linear regression (R2 = 0.84–0.86) for ablation zones where snow–ice transitions dominate, neural networks (R2 = 0.65) for snow-dominated areas where cumulative thermal history drives albedo evolution. Multi-algorithm satellite validation (n = 5) reveals that temporal albedo dynamics are more robustly captured than absolute values, with all algorithms detecting consistent seasonal declines (27.8–35.2%) despite 12% variation in absolute estimates. What are the implications of the main findings? Firstly, a comprehensive comparison of linear vs. non-linear modelling approaches across elevation zones demonstrates that optimal albedo prediction requires recognition of fundamentally different process controls across glacier surfaces, with direct implications for climate sensitivity assessments. Validated data-efficient framework requiring only temperature and precipitation from standard AWS installations enables operational application in under-monitored Arctic glacier environments, providing practical tools for real-time albedo forecasting and mass balance projections. Glacier surface albedo controls solar energy absorption and Arctic mass balance, yet comprehensive modelling approaches remain limited. This study develops and validates multiple modelling frameworks for glacier albedo prediction using automatic weather station (AWS) data from Hansbreen and Werenskioldbreen in southern Svalbard during the 2011 ablation season. We compared three point-based approaches across elevation zones. At lower elevations (190 m), linear regression models emphasising snowfall probability or temperature controls achieved excellent performance (R2 = 0.84–0.86), with snowfall probability contributing 65% and daily positive temperature contributing 86.3% feature importance. At higher elevations (420 m) where snow persists, neural networks proved superior (R2 = 0.65), with positive degree days (72.5% importance) driving albedo evolution in snow-dominated environments. Spatial modelling extended point predictions across glacier surfaces using elevation-dependent probability calculations. Validation with Landsat 7 imagery and multi-algorithm comparison (n = 5) revealed that while absolute albedo values varied by 12% (0.54–0.60), temporal dynamics showed remarkable consistency (27.8–35.2% seasonal decline). Point-to-pixel validation achieved excellent agreement (mean absolute difference = 0.03 ± 0.02; 5.3% relative error). Spatial validation across 173,133 pixel comparisons demonstrated good agreement (r = 0.62; R2 = 0.40; RMSE = 0.15), with an accuracy of reproducing temporal evolution within 0.001–0.021 error. These findings demonstrate that optimal glacier albedo modelling requires elevation-dependent approaches combining physically based interpolation with machine learning, and that temporal pattern reproduction is more reliably validated than absolute values. The frameworks provide tools for understanding albedo-climate feedback and improving mass balance projections in response to Arctic warming. © 2025 by the authors.},

abstract = {The Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD), a critical agricultural region, faces escalating threats from annual salinity intrusion (SI), which significantly compromises agricultural productivity, freshwater availability, and ecosystem integrity. Traditional fixed barriers for SI control, while offering protection, often entail high construction costs and considerable eco-environmental and navigational disruptions. This study investigates the efficacy of temporary cross-section narrowing (TCN) as an adaptive strategy to mitigate SI along the Hau River, a major VMD distributary. A Telemac-2D hydrodynamic model was calibrated and validated using observed water level, discharge, and salinity data from 2016 and 2020 under baseline conditions (without TCN). The calibrated model was subsequently employed to assess the impact of six TCN configurations (Scenarios S1-S6) on reducing upstream saltwater migration. Results demonstrate that TCN can substantially reduce SI, evidenced by a downstream shift of the 4.0 g l−1 isohaline by up to 11.5 km from key irrigation intakes. Furthermore, TCN increased freshwater intake durations from 0 to 19 h and lowered maximum salinity concentrations at the Bong Bot irrigation inlet by 20% to 43% compared to the existing cross-section. Notably, Scenario S3 exhibited the strongest reduction in salinity intrusion and extended freshwater access (over 19 h), followed by S4 and S5. Meanwhile, Scenario S2 offered the most balanced outcome with moderate SI reduction and minimal navigational disruption. This research highlights TCN’s potential as a flexible and adaptable intervention for SI management. However, further investigations into dam design optimization, cost-benefit analysis, and detailed eco-environmental and navigational impacts are warranted to fully ascertain its practical applicability. © 2026 The Author(s).

abstract = {Climate change and increasing groundwater demand underscore the urgency of sustainable water resource planning. Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) represents a promising strategy, yet its implementation depends on accurately identifying locations suited for specific MAR techniques. This study presents a GIS-based methodology developed under the DEEPWATER-CE project for identifying suitable locations for six MAR techniques in Central Europe. The methodology integrates environmental, hydrological, and land use criteria in a two-stage approach: an initial screening to delineate potentially suitable areas, followed by a detailed classification of those areas into high, moderate, and low suitability categories. The approach was tested in the Polish part of the Dunajec River catchment (4835 km2), revealing that river or lake bank filtration, infiltration ditches, and underground dams are the most viable MAR options, suitable for 12.6%, 13%, and 15.6% of the catchment area, respectively. A focused analysis within the Tarnów agglomeration, identified as highly vulnerable to climate change and with intensive groundwater use, demonstrated that 83–87% of the area is moderately suitable for infiltration ditches and riverbank filtration techniques. This decision-support tool can inform water managers and planners regarding the best locations for implementing MAR to enhance aquifer resilience, ensure water availability, and mitigate the impacts of extreme weather events. The methodology is transferable to other regions facing similar hydroclimatic challenges. © 2026 by the authors.},

The labrum is generally triangular and plate-like, ranging from 88.8 μm (M. cerasi) to 358.1 μm (L. roboris). However, Trama sp. exhibits a distinctive conical labrum (311.1 μm) bearing three pairs of sensilla trichodea (St2)—unique among the examined taxa. Most species possess a four-segmented labium, while Trama sp. and L. roboris exhibit five segments. The second segment is the longest and most elaborate, bearing dense arrays of sensilla or spiniform tubercles in several species. Sensilla trichodea (St1–St5) are widespread across taxa, showing the highest densities in Chaitophorus sp St1, Trama and L. roboris St2, Uroleucon sp St3, and P. cimiciformis St4, whereas Trama sp. uniquely combines sensilla St2, St3, St5, and sensilla basiconica (Sb2). Sensilla basiconica (Sb1) are consistently positioned at the base of the labrum and the fourth labial segment, except in Trama sp., which presents sensilla St3. Distinct cuticular modifications—including apical cuticular processes and granular protrusions—occur only in Trama sp. and L. roboris, suggesting lineage-specific adaptations. These morphological patterns indicate that aphid mouthpart diversity reflects functional specialisation linked to host-plant structural variation. © 2026 by the authors.},

abstract = {Background/Objectives: The global prevalence and incidence of inflammatory bowel diseases have risen in the past two decades. Among them, Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are still challenging to treat due to vascular and proliferative alterations. Studies in rats suggest that blocking histamine receptors (H1–H4) can improve colitis progression. However, the specific histamine receptor responsible for this effect remains debated. The experiment aimed to assess the role of specific histamine receptor subtypes in colitis development, focusing on oxidative stress markers in the liver and skeletal muscle. Methods: The study involved 60 adult male Wistar rats, divided into control and colitis experimental groups. Colitis was induced through intracolonic administration of 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid. Animals in both experimental groups received intramuscular injections of NaCl (non-treated; NT) or H1, H2, H3, and H4 receptor antagonists (10 study subgroups in total). On day eight, the animals were re-anesthetized and euthanized via exsanguination. Then, liver and skeletal muscle (m. soleus) samples were collected for analysis of oxidative stress markers. Results: The analyses of skeletal muscle samples showed that using the H1 and H2 receptor antagonists increased superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities, as well as parameters related to glutathione metabolism (reduced glutathione (GSH); glutathione S-transferase (GST)) in rats from the control groups, indicating enhanced antioxidant defense. In rats with chemically induced colitis, we observed that H1 receptor antagonists elevated CAT activity, whereas β-esterase (β-EST) activity remained elevated across all colitis subgroups. In the liver, histamine receptor antagonists produced receptor-specific redox effects: the H2 receptor antagonist reduced oxidative damage (malondialdehyde (MDA)); the H1 receptor antagonist attenuated SOD hyperactivity, but depleted GSH; and the H4 receptor antagonist increased GSH while elevating MDA. Chemically induced colitis increased α- and β-EST activities, whereas administration of the H1 or H3 antagonist reduced β-EST levels. Conclusions: Histamine receptor antagonists modulated oxidative stress responses in both liver and skeletal muscle tissues in a receptor-dependent manner. Among them, the H2 receptor antagonist most effectively mitigated hepatic oxidative injury, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target in colitis-associated systemic oxidative stress. © 2026 by the authors.},

abstract = {Phytogenic hillocks, or nebkhas, are commonly found in arid and semi-arid regions, but can also form in temperate zones, particularly in areas where forests on sandy soils have been cleared. In such environments, they play a key role in stabilizing and facilitating the regeneration of ecosystems. This study was conducted in the extensive inland sand region known as the Błędowska Desert (southern Poland), which developed as a result of anthropogenic deforestation of pine forests. The development of hillocks in this area is closely tied to the intensity of aeolian activity. Vegetation is frequently buried by sand, and as it re-establishes, new hillocks form. This results in alternating layers of clean, light-colored sand and thin, dark-colored humic streaks. The research focused on the physicochemical, mineralogical, and organic properties of these light and grey layers within phytogenic hillocks. The study indicates that the formation of these landforms begins with colonization by soil-dwelling algae, followed by the development of psammophilous grasslands, and culminating in the establishment of Salix arenaria. The soils within the hillocks display similar physical and chemical characteristics, with the exception of buried horizons, which show notable differentiation. In the humic layers, preserved traces of photosynthetic filamentous algal cells were observed on the surfaces of sand grains at various depths. The grey layers were found to contain a range of organic compounds, including saccharides (with sucrose; trehalose; α- and β-glucose; and α- and β-galactose as dominant sugars), n-fatty acids, n-fatty alcohols, steroids, and terpenoids. These compounds are typically derived from bacteria, fungi, algae, and higher plants. This suggests that the dark-grey humus layers are linked to the vegetation communities that developed on their surfaces before being repeatedly covered by sand. © 2026 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.},

abstract = {Aim: Widespread species encounter a range of variable climates that can lead to intraspecific trait clines. Such clines can be the result of phenotypic plasticity, genetic differences, or both. Although latitude often explains a large part of trait variation, it is crucial to investigate the underlying environmental variables to understand current and future trait responses. Cross-continental comparisons of species that are native on multiple continents provide a rarely used approach that can help identify the environmental drivers of intraspecific trait clines. Location: Europe and North America. Time Period: 2021–2023. Major Taxa Studied: Milium effusum L. (Poaceae). Methods: To quantify the influence of environmental gradients on functional traits across geographical regions that vary in climate, we sampled M. effusum seeds from 23 European and 14 North American populations and transplanted them in a common garden. We measured 10 vegetative, reproductive, and phenological traits. We used 30-year averages of 19 bioclimatic variables, while accounting for the latitudinal and elevational position of the population origins, to compare the trait-environment relationships between continents. Results: Our results showed that European populations occupy a broader climatic range than North American populations. Differences between continents were found in most of the traits as well as in the multivariate trait space. The traits were affected more by bioclimatic variables than by latitude or elevation. While flowering, leaf thickness, specific leaf area, and reproductive height showed parallel clines to the environment between continents, vegetative height and biomass showed contrasting clines. Main Conclusions: Environmental influences from population origins revealed parallel clines between the continents for functional traits, suggesting shared selective pressures, while contrasting clines for plant size indicated different evolutionary trajectories, potential bottlenecks, or interactions with unknown ecological factors. This study highlights the complex interplay of genetic, environmental, and evolutionary factors in shaping phenotypic variation in native species across continents. © 2026 The Author(s).

abstract = {Cavemapping represents oneof the mostcomplex challenges in geomorphological cartography, as it must convey the true three-dimensional geometry of subterranean spaces such as overlapping passages, irregular cross-sections, and variable ceiling and floor morphologies, within a two-dimensional framework. This study examines the methodological and interpretive challenges of cave mapping, utilizing the Gamssteighöhle Cave in the Austrian Alps as a case study. During the 11 years of exploration, over 10 km of passages were surveyed using the DistoX vector survey method. Yet the complex morphological forms necessitated deviations from the standard symbology recommended by the International Union of Speleology. Several key visualization challenges are analyzed, including subvertical pits, overlapping passages, and 3D maze-like networks. Solutions such as multiple projection planes, transparency effects, perpendicular cross-sections, and splitting maps into separate sheets are proposed to maintain readability and spatial context. We evaluate traditional vs. LiDAR-based mapping, concluding that while dense 3D point clouds offer exceptional precision, they do not inherently yield readable or informative maps. Cartographic generalization, with its interpretative input of the cartographer, remains indispensable for transforming spatial data into coherent and communicative cave maps. LiDAR and photogrammetry greatly enhance visualization and quantitative analysis but complement rather than replace traditional mapping. © (2026), (Societa Speleologica Italiana).

abstract = {Located at the western edge of the Tu Le Basin in Northwest Vietnam, the Pieng stream catchment in Nam Pam commune, Muong La District, Son La Province, has been highly prone to landslides both historically and recently. However, the causes of the complex geomorphic characteristics and landslide occurrences in this area are unclear. This study aims to investigate the connection between landslides and faults through in-depth analyses of DEM-derived geomorphology, field observations, geophysical profiles, and soil mineralogy. On the basis of evidence of triangular facet patterns, observations of fault slickensides and knickpoints along stream longitudinal profiles identified by a relative slope-extension (RDEs) index and a total RDE (RDEt) index, there are two main fault systems: NE–SW and NW–SE-trending fault systems. These faults were further examined via electrical resistivity tomography and seismic refraction tomography. The results of the soil analysis along the three boreholes indicate that the weathering material consists of two main layers, with weathering profiles ranging from silty to sandy materials. The dominant minerals are kaolinite, mica, feldspar and quartz, whereas the main components are SiO<inf>2</inf>, Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> and Fe<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>. Soil mechanical and physical tests indicate that the local soil has weak physical and mechanical properties. A total of 140 landslides were interpreted using Planet Scope images, a DEM, and field surveys. The relationships between landslides and faults are reflected in three aspects: triangular facets, distance to faults and fault density, and the presence of weak minerals along fault zones. © Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2026.},

abstract = {On Tuesday, February 18, 2025, at 18:04:14 local time, residents of Poland observed a bright fireball registered by many Polish fireball stations belonging to the Skytinel Network established a few months before by Mateusz Żmija. Thus, the meteoroid's orbit, atmospheric trajectory, and the strewn field were calculated, and over 70 fragments with a mass of approximately 3900 g were found near Drelów (Lublin Voivodeship; Poland; The Meteorite Bulletin Database; 2025). The samples were recovered by scientists, private searchers, and dealers, and many samples were offered immediately for collections and scientific research on the international meteorite market. Drelów is the 13th officially registered meteorite fall in Poland and is now officially classified as an L6 ordinary chondrite (S3; W0; The Meteorite Bulletin Database; 2025). Short-lived radionuclides were measured on a small sample shortly after recovery, and the results confirm that the meteorite specimen studied here derived from the bolide fireball event. The equilibrated and recrystallized type 6 character is also supported by the large plagioclase grains (An<inf>9-12</inf>; with grains >100 μm) and the homogeneous compositions of olivine (Fa<inf>24.7±0.4</inf>) and low-Ca pyroxene (Fs<inf>20.8±0.3</inf>). The olivine in Drelów is dominated by grains with planar fractures, but in the Münster samples a significant fraction of olivine shows weak mosaicism, indicating a moderately shocked S4 (C-S4) chondritic rock. Such mosaic olivine grains appear to lack in other fragments of Drelów requiring a S3 (C-S3) classification. Thus, Drelów experienced an equilibrium shock pressure close to the strength that defines the S3/S4 transition, which requires an equilibrium shock pressure of slightly above 20 GPa. The meteorite shows easily visible dark shock veins that cross-cut the bulk rock; the high-pressure phases maskelynite and wadsleyite were detected within or close to the veins. The O isotope data and the bulk chemical composition are consistent with the L-group membership. This is also confirmed by the density and the magnetic susceptibility measurements. The soluble organic compositions of Drelów are consistent with the profiles of unbrecciated L6 chondrites and comparable to Braunschweig (L6), showing molecular characteristics consistent with the complex shock and metamorphic history of the parent rock. © 2026 The Author(s).

abstract = {Rapid urbanisation and intensifying rainfall have increased cities' vulnerability to flooding, posing major challenges to sustainable development. Although machine learning models have improved flood prediction accuracy, most remain limited by their black-box nature and lack of actionable insights. This study integrates geospatial techniques with explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) to create a transparent, prevention-oriented framework for flood susceptibility mapping. Five ensemble models (random forest; extremely randomised trees; extreme gradient boosting; light gradient boosting machine; and categorical boosting) and two deep learning models (convolutional neural network and deep neural network) were developed using topographical, hydrological, climatic, and anthropogenic predictors. Model performance was assessed using AUC, accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, Brier score, and Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC). CatBoost performed best, achieving a cross-validation AUC of 0.975 ± 0.005 and an independent test AUC of 0.956, with strong calibration (Brier score = 0.075) and high accuracy (0.904). XGBoost (0.949), LightGBM (0.948), Random Forest (0.948), and Extra Trees (0.945) followed closely, whereas CNN and DNN achieved test AUCs of 0.928 and 0.927. To enhance model interpretability, SHapley Additive exPlanations and Accumulated Local Effects analyses were compared in their ability to characterise susceptibility-relevant response patterns. Elevation, Normalised Difference Vegetation Index, and proximity to rivers emerged as key drivers, with values of < 50 m, < 0.15, and < 525 m delineating high-susceptibility zones. Combining predictive precision with interpretability, the proposed explainable GeoAI framework bridges the gap between flood prediction and prevention, enabling data-driven planning for resilient, climate-adaptive cities. © 2026 The Author(s).

abstract = {A new garnet named midbarite, Ca<inf>3</inf>Mg<inf>2</inf>(V<inf>2</inf>Si)O<inf>12</inf>, has been discovered in a paralava of the pyrometamorphic Hatrurim Complex in the Hatrurim Basin near Mount Ye’elim in the Negev Desert, Israel. This paralava also contains esseneite, minerals of the levantite-latiumite series, garnet of the andradite-schorlomite series, and wollastonite as well as subordinate gehlenite, rankinite and fluorapatite. Midbarite forms overgrowths on Ti-bearing andradite or occurs as xenomotphic grains, occurring in aggregates in association with the OH-analogue of pliniusite, Ca<inf>5</inf>(VO<inf>4</inf>)<inf>3</inf>F. The size of the midbarite grains does not exceed 40 μm. It is crimson red in colour, with a white streak and vitreous lustre. The Vickers hardness of 276 at a load of 10 g corresponds to a Mohs hardness of 4.5. The calculated density is 3.595 g·cm-3. Midbarite crystallises in the cubic system (Ia-3d space group), with a unit cell parameter of a = 12.3539(4) Å. The empirical formula of the holotype garnet grain is (Ca<inf>2.99</inf>Na<inf>0.05</inf>)<inf>Σ3.04</inf>(Mg<inf>0.79</inf>Mn2+<inf>0.65</inf>Mn3+<inf>0.24</inf>Fe3+<inf>0.17</inf>Ti4+<inf>0.10</inf>Nb5+<inf>0.02</inf>)<inf>Σ1.97</inf> (V5+<inf>1.54</inf> Si<inf>1.29</inf>Fe3+<inf>0.15</inf> Al<inf>0.01</inf>)<inf>Σ2.99</inf>O<inf>12</inf>. There is only one strong band in the Raman spectrum of midbarite at 824 cm-1, which is related to (VO<inf>4</inf>)3- vibrations. Midbarite is an accessory mineral in the paralava, and its paragenesis indicates that it formed in the sanidinite facies under increased pressure. Midbarite, as well as the OH analogue of pliniusite, and the V-bearing latiumite and fluorapatite crystallised from small portions of melt residue between early-forming rock-forming minerals, which became locally enriched in V. А synthetic phase with the composition Ca<inf>3</inf>Mg<inf>2</inf>SiV<inf>2</inf>O<inf>12</inf> has been synthesised at a temperature of 1250C, confirming our hypothesis that midbarite has a high-temperature genesis. Midbarite is the first member of a new group with a Z-site charge of 14 in the garnet supergroup. © 2026 Cambridge University Press. All rights reserved.},

abstract = {Dark septate endophytes (DSEs) are common, facultative root colonizers of flexible lifestyle, acting as endophytes, free-living saprophytes, parasites, or pathogens, depending on plant and fungal genotype, and environmental conditions. This study represents the first assessment of DSE biodiversity in a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-contaminated environment, their PAH-tolerance, catabolic features, and potential to protect a host exposed to PAHs. Metabarcoding analysis and the assessment of DSE colonization of Poa trivialis and Phragmites australis roots revealed that PAH contamination decreased DSE abundance, whereas these fungi were dominant in plants at the uncontaminated site. DSEs isolated from both sites were examined for their PAH-tolerance and saprophytic features. Two isolates of Paraphoma chrysanthemicola (PCH) showing high PAH tolerance and organic nitrogen catabolic features were selected to inoculate Lolium perenne L. Plants and fungi were cultured in vitro, using MSR medium without sugar, and in pots, using sand/bentonite substrate supplemented with organic CPN. Both PCH isolates mitigated PAH toxicity and significantly improved plant growth in pot cultures, while only one of the isolates developed positive interactions with plants in the contaminated MSR medium. In the absence of PAHs, both PCH isolates had no effect on plants in pots, and they negatively affected plants in MSR medium. Obtained results demonstrate that mutualistic plant–DSE interactions require organic CPN supplementation and toxicity stress. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2026.},

abstract = {This account presents information on all aspects of the biology of Polygonatum multiflorum (L.) All. (Asparagaceae), Solomon's Seal, that are relevant to understanding its ecological characteristics and behaviour. The main topics are presented within the standard framework of the Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: distribution, habitat, communities, responses to biotic factors, responses to environment, structure and physiology, phenology, floral and seed characters, herbivores and disease, history and conservation. Polygonatum multiflorum is a rhizomatous, clonal perennial herb found in Britain and Ireland primarily in forests, but also in hedgerows and shaded grasslands. The native range consists of much of temperate Europe, extending into western Asia, and is typically associated with nutrient-rich, moist to well-drained substrates. The species is a characteristic component of semi-natural woodland understorey flora, often co-occurring with other shade-tolerant species, such as Mercurialis perennis and Anemone nemorosa. The flowers of P. multiflorum are pendulous, tubular, and creamy-white with green tips, arranged in axillary clusters along the arching stem. They are primarily pollinated by long-tongued bees and bumblebees. The resulting dull blue berries are dispersed by birds, contributing to the plant's spread across suitable habitats. Vegetative reproduction via rhizome extension is also common, leading to more or less distinct shoot clusters. The species is relatively unpalatable to herbivores due to the presence of steroidal saponins, though it is sometimes browsed by deer and by insects such as the specialized Solomon's-seal sawfly (Phymatocera aterrima). It is also susceptible to fungal infections, which cause rust diseases. Recent studies have focused on the genetic fitness of populations under habitat fragmentation, on climate change effects on the species' phenology and on the vegetative and generative reproductive strategies that determine its dispersal dynamics. Historically, Polygonatum multiflorum has been valued in herbal medicine for its purported wound-healing and anti-inflammatory properties. P. multiflorum is often associated with ancient woodland. While this species is currently not at risk of extinction, woodland management practices, habitat fragmentation, and climate change might cause population declines or range contraction. © 2026 The Author(s).

Here, we document its occurrence in South Korea and provide evidence for a previously unrecognized host association with Heracleum moellendorffii Hance (Apiaceae), a widely used edible and medicinal plant in East Asia. Species identity was validated using an integrative taxonomic framework combining detailed morphological assessment of apterous viviparae with COI-based DNA barcoding and haplotype analysis. Morphological features were consistent with the diagnosis of D. foeniculus and neighbor-joining analysis recovered the Korean specimens within a strongly supported clade (Clade A; BS = 99%). Among 28 COI sequences analysed, 12 haplotypes were identified, which included one outgroup species, 11 Dysaphys spp., of which three were D. foeniculus. The most prevalent haplotype (Hap_1) was shared among populations in Australia, Egypt, Italy, Pakistan, South Korea, and the USA. Although the haplotype network represents an exploratory analysis due to limited sample size, it supports the phylogenetic evidence for cryptic dispersal pattern. Overall, these findings emphasize the importance of combining morphological and molecular diagnostics to detect early-stage aphid invasions, uncover novel host associations, and enhance biosecurity surveillance strategies. © The Author(s) 2026.},

abstract = {The digestive gland of Venus flytrap consists of various types of specialized cells. Secretory cells form two layers: the first is a more external outer layer and the second is an internal layer that is connected to stalk cells. Our goal was to check whether the position/location of cells is essential in terms of cell wall composition (whether cell wall microdomains exist). We also focused on the structure of cell wall ingrowths in secretory cells. To achieve this, the localization of the cell wall components in the cell walls of gland cells was performed using the immunolabeling technique and confocal microscopy. It has been found that cells within the gland head are not equal. Their location determines the composition of their cell walls in terms of the presence of various epitopes. The cell walls of the secretory cells in the outer layer were deficient in epitopes recognized by antibodies, including JIM5 (low methylesterified homogalacturonans), CCRC-M38 (low methylesterified homogalacturonans), LM5 (galactan), and CCRC-M48 (xyloglucan), which contrasted with the cell walls of the cells in the inner layer. In terms of the occurrence of pectic homogalacturonans, cell wall ingrowths constitute cell wall microdomains. The digestive glands of Dionaea muscipula exhibit pronounced cell wall microdomain organization, with distinct distributions of pectins, hemicelluloses, and arabinogalactan proteins across different glandular layers. These compositional differences reflect functional specialization in secretion, absorption, and structural support. © 2026 by the authors.},

abstract = {The study investigated Mississippian low-rank coals from the Moscow Coal Basin (MCB) in Russia and the lowermost Pennsylvanian coals from the Upper Silesian Coal Basin (USCB) in Poland. The high sulfur content of the MCB coals is consistent with peat accumulation under neutral to alkaline conditions in a sulfur-rich environment. The more intense microbial activity and clay mineral contribution is supported by porigelinite, abundant hopenes, benzohopanes, diasterenes, and monoaromatic steroids. The USCB coal is characterized by low sulfur content, which points to mires not affected by sea water, and the prevalence of more oxic to suboxic conditions during deposition. Nevertheless, microbial transformation of organic matter is also evident, as indicated by the occurrence of aromatized triterpenoids such as aromatized fernanes. Biomarkers in the MCB coals, e.g. phyllocladane-, kaurane-, and abietane-type, ferruginol, sugiol, are derived predominantly from flood-plain plants (Eskdalia olivieri; Gryzlovia meyenii; Lepidodendron spetsbergense; Archaeocalamites) and Adiantites sp., Sphenopteris sp., Rhodeopteridium sp., Cardiopteridium dobrovii or Archaeopteridales, whereas the USCB coals reflect contributions from pteridosperms (Lyginopteridales; Medullosales; Callistophytales; Peltaspermales) or cordaite remains, supporting a significant role for cordaitalean plants (e.g.; Voltziales; Coniferales; Taxales; Cordaitales). Compounds such as ββ-hopanes, tocopherols, methyltrimethyltridecylchromans (MTTCs), and alkanoic acids-generally rare in Carboniferous coals-occur more frequently in the MCB samples, indicating lower thermal maturity relative to the USCB coals. Remarkably, the MCB samples also contain exceptionally well-preserved free saccharides, which may represent the oldest such compounds documented in a sedimentary organic matter environment. © 2026 Elsevier B.V.},

abstract = {Climate change affects the extent of glaciers in Svalbard, and warmer periods of the Holocene may serve as analogues for predicting their future decay. While the Holocene glacial history of central, western and northern Svalbard is relatively well-studied, knowledge of glacier fluctuations in southern Spitsbergen remains limited. We reconstruct the Holocene glacier dynamics in Hornsund and adjacent areas, using geomorphological, geochronological, and historical data. New and published radiocarbon (14C) and cosmogenic nuclide (10Be) dates were combined with historical maps dating back to the 1600s and photographs from 1872 to 1936. The ages of mollusc shells from till deposits and Little Ice Age (LIA) moraines suggest glacier retreat in the Early Holocene, enabling colonisation of glacier-free branches of Hornsund. During the first half of the Late Holocene, the extent of tidewater glaciers remained reduced compared to their LIA maxima. Their limited advance was likely constrained by increasing sea-surface temperatures and atmospheric warming between c. 2.2–1.8 and 1.5–0.7 cal ka BP. The maximum Late Holocene glacier extents were associated with surges, probably preceded by ice mass accumulation due to climatic cooling and increased precipitation. However, many surges may also have occurred under warmer conditions. Most glaciers in southern Spitsbergen are highly sensitive to climatic changes, both through mass balance and surging, due to their specific topographic settings (low-elevation; gently sloping; long; multi-branched glaciers with overdeepenings in the bedrock). The interaction between climate variability and glacier surging played a crucial role in glacier evolution throughout the Holocene. © 2026 Elsevier Ltd.},

abstract = {A quasi-two-dimensional DNA–water system was investigated under a perpendicular magnetic field of 0.5 T and a constant 0.1 V bias at near-room temperature. Upon cooling, the system undergoes a sharp crossover near 20 °C from a regime with finite longitudinal conduction to a regime in which the longitudinal current I<inf>xx</inf> collapses, while the transverse voltage V<inf>xy</inf> and a correlated photovoltage remain finite and develop slow, coherent modulations. This decoupling of longitudinal and transverse responses cannot be explained by conventional charge transport and instead indicates a transition from ohmic conduction to polarization-dominated dynamics governed by displacement currents. Complementary magnetic-field sweeps in higher-concentration samples reveal a reproducible polarization cycle, including a pronounced inversion between V<inf>xy</inf> and V<inf>photo</inf> and a highly elongated Lissajous portrait, consistent with near anti-phase locking of electrical and optical degrees of freedom. These results identify a field-tunable, polarization-coherent regime in quasi-2D hydrated DNA under ambient/biological conditions, in which macroscopic voltages arise from collective polarization dynamics rather than net charge flow. © © 2026.

ERT data are displayed as cross-sections, while EMI data are mapped. A reference resistivity of 350 Ωm was established for natural geological substrates. Anomalies exceeding this threshold suggest anthropogenic origins, including remnants of the Bishops' Castle. In A1, ERT profiles ERT1–ERT3 revealed high-resistivity anomalies linked to rock fragments, possible tunnels, and castle walls; shallower ones ('2 m) were interpreted cautiously due to natural effects or artifacts. In A2, ERT4–ERT7 profiles indicated embankments, rock fragments, and inferred defensive structures. EMI confirmed anomalies: two subsurface features inside the castle near NE and SW walls (potential metallic objects or a well). Extended verification analyzed ERT statistical analysis (RMS; χ2; residual analysis; observed vs. interpreted scatter plots), Depth of Investigation Index (DOI), and for EMI data analysis (spatial data analysis; variograms; EMI-derived resistivity; in-phase difference maps; and EMI data cross-validation), emphasizing careful interpretation under complex geological-anthropogenic conditions.

abstract = {Emerging organic contaminants (EOCs) are increasingly detected in groundwater recharged by surface water infiltration. This study aimed to assess the distribution of river-derived EOC contamination in groundwater of two aquifer types serving as drinking water supplies in the Silesian Province (southern Poland): a shallow porous aquifer and a deep fractured-karst aquifer. The two selected study sites differed in hydrogeological conditions and the degree of urban development. Water samples were collected from production wells (n = 20) and nearby losing streams (n = 16) during three sampling campaigns. A total of 102 micropollutants from 29 EOC groups were analysed, complemented by physicochemical parameter measurements and basic chemical analyses of water. The results revealed the presence of 23 EOCs in the deep fractured-karst aquifer and 11 EOCs in the shallow porous aquifer, without any group of the investigated EOCs dominating. The dominant river-derived compounds in groundwater were acesulfame and carbamazepine. A few EOCs originating from sources other than wastewater-impacted rivers were also identified, including DEET, which was consistently found in groundwater. Evidence of contaminant migration from surface water to groundwater included similarities in the detected substances as well as the chemistry of groundwater and the recharging rivers. The specific flow characteristics in fractured-karst formations and limited self-attenuation facilitated EOC migration to the deepest parts of the aquifer. The Quaternary sandy aquifer showed a more pronounced relationship between EOC contamination, depth, and well proximity to rivers. The findings provide valuable insights for identifying EOCs to prioritise in future monitoring and efforts to protect groundwater quality. © 2026 Elsevier B.V.},

abstract = {Proponents of natural capital expect the concept to improve the decisions of many sectors, including public policy. However, it is unclear if natural capital data and tools are being used in policymaking especially beyond environmental planning and regulations. We therefore searched for case studies of policy development being used or influenced by working with natural capital and ecosystem services anywhere in the world. We found 168 case studies that reported some type of policy influence resulting from working with natural capital or ecosysterm services. These were distributed in 52 countries: many countries implemented more than one initiative. Initiatives framed in terms of natural capital and environmental accounting were dominant in the Global South, whilst those using framed in terms of ecosystem services assessment and valuation were more common in the Global North. Tangible changes to environmental policy refer to the formulation of guidelines, strategies and sectoral plans for natural resources such as forest, water, minerals and biodiversity. The design of economic plans and programmes included proposals for resource use permits, fiscal regimes, or adjusting conservation easements. Some cases reported more diffuse or vague changes. These results suggest that natural capital has the potential to influence policy-making. However, although some efforts have been made to track the influence or use of natural capital initiatives – mostly were linked to cross-national programmes – details of use remain limited and challenging to understand. Where sources did report on challenges to embedding natural capital in policy-making, these resonate with the literatures on mainstreaming or environmental policy integration. Working with natural capital may help to influence policymaking, but influence cannot always be assumed. Future efforts to work with natural capital must be matched by appraisal and analysis of when and how natural capital data and tools are – or are not – used. © 2026},

abstract = {The complex interactions among erosion, tectonic uplift, and climate are fundamental to understanding the mechanisms that drive landscape evolution and govern the recycling of crustal materials. In this study, we used basin-averaged erosion rates based on 10Be concentrations in river sediments from eight medium- to large-sized drainage basins across the Guerrero forearc to investigate the interplay between lithology, climatic conditions, and tectonic factors in shaping the topography above the flat-slab subduction zone. The calculated erosion rates range from '0.5 to '0.8 mm/yr and show an apparent eastward increase. This spatial pattern appears to be primarily controlled by the tectonic processes associated with the subduction of the Cocos Plate beneath the North American Plate, particularly the seismogenic activity of crustal faults, with climate variability exerting a secondary influence and limited lithology impact. The eastward increase in erosion rates across the Guerrero forearc appears to correspond to the activity of trench-parallel, W-striking crustal faults, most notably the La Venta Fault, and aligns with observed patterns of exhumation rates, increasing convergence rate, and roughness of the subducting Cocos Plate. The relatively low erosion rates may be attributed to the flat-slab subduction observed in the Guerrero sector of the Mexican subduction zone, consistent with global observations that associate forearc regions above flat slabs with reduced erosion rates. A secondary climatic influence on erosion patterns is indicated by correlations with mean annual discharge and the potential impact of extreme precipitation events at the individual basin scale. © 2026 The Author(s).},

abstract = {Under global warming, compound drought and heatwave events (CDHEs) in China have intensified and are projected to worsen, urgently requiring further investigation. However, traditional bias correction methods struggle to effectively handle climate variables with complex nonlinear characteristics, and existing event identification approaches often overlook the evolving characteristics of CDHEs. To address these limitations, this study develops a Residual Correction Generative Adversarial Network (RCGAN) for climate bias correction and integrates it with the Intensity–Area–Duration (IAD) algorithm to dynamically identify and quantify CDHEs under different Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs). Results reveal a remarkable future increase in CDHE frequency, intensity, and duration, particularly under high-emission scenarios, where annual average frequency rises from 25.5 to 135.6 events and the affected area expands nearly 30-fold. Seasonally, CDHEs start earlier and end later, with summer peaks shifting toward a bimodal distribution across spring and summer. Spatially, high-risk zones extend from western basins to North China, South China, and southeastern coastal regions. The synergistic intensification of CDHEs substantially heightens disaster risk, underscoring that the present is a critical window for proactive adaptation and risk management. This study provides a new methodological framework for bias-corrected, dynamic identification of compound climate extremes and offers scientific support for early warning and adaptation strategies in a warming climate. © 2026 Elsevier Ltd},

However, offspring loss may induce behavioral and physiological stress responses in parents. By examining stress markers—heat shock proteins and reactive oxygen species—alongside behavioral observations, we analyzed the stress responses in Pardosa lugubris females following the removal of their egg sacs or juveniles. Stress markers were measured in both females and juveniles. Behavioral trials were conducted to assess maternal responses to egg sac loss: unfertilized females, females adopting foreign egg sacs, and females given a choice between their own and a foreign sac. The results indicate that fertilized females tend to adopt egg sacs after offspring loss, even when the sac is not their own. Offspring removal induced measurable stress responses in both mothers and juveniles, which decreased over time. These findings highlight how offspring loss affects maternal behavior and stress physiology in Pardosa lugubris, offering insight into the mechanisms underlying parental investment and resilience in invertebrates. © The Author(s) 2025.},

abstract = {The effect of the habitat conditions on the pollen features of invasive species has not been studied so far, and may affect the quality of their generative reproduction and contribute to the development of more effective methods of their control. Three species invasive in Europe and Poland were selected for the study - Impatiens parviflora DC., Impatiens glandulifera Royle and Impatiens capensis Meerb. The morphology and intraspecific variability of pollen grains in three Impatiens species growing under different habitat conditions were examined. Specimens were sampled from 198 sites throughout Poland, covering 10 ecologically distinct habitat types. In total, 5940 pollen grains were analysed in respect to the length of the polar axis (P), equatorial diameter (E), exine thickness (Exp), P/E, Exp/P ratios, and exine ornamentation and ectocolpi arrangement. Our research showed that the three studied species can be distinguished based on their palynomorphology. The most important traits were: exine ornamentation and ectocolpi arrangement, pollen size (P; E) and exine thickness (Exp). A relationship between the habitat conditions prevailing in the analysed habitats and the pollen grain characteristics was found, especially in I. glandulifera. In this species pollen size (P; E) increases in the optimal habitat conditions such as edges of reservoirs and watercourses, and decreases in the suboptimal habitat conditions such as anthropogenic habitats. A similar pattern is observed in I. parviflora, where optimal habitats such as mesic mixed coniferous forest favour larger pollen grains, whereas suboptimal habitats like swamp forest are associated with reduced pollen size. In I. capensis, optimal conditions also correspond to edges of watercourses, while suboptimal conditions include swamp forest. Additionally, exine thickness (Exp) may represent an adaptive trait, reflecting plant response to growth and development in unfavorable environments. © The Author(s) 2025.},

Mimetite was identified by Raman microspectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The airborne mimetite, while apparently related to the historic Zn and Pb ore smelting in the region, was collected in a place not directly affected by the smelting. Mimetite commonly occurs in As- and Pb-contaminated topsoil and waste dumps in the region. Six topsoil samples were collected within the small (0.4 km2) As, Pb, and Zn geochemical anomaly recorded in the past and located 0.7 km west of the air sampling site to inspect, whether it might have been a source of airborne mimetite. X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy of the samples did not show elevated concentrations of As and Pb. The investigated mimetite microcrystals became airborne most probably due to aeolian entrainment of dust particles from the unspecified location. Calculated health hazard indices suggest a high carcinogenic risk due to prolonged exposure to mimetite in resuspended dust. Mimetite may be a common ambient air pollutant in other places worldwide affected by current or historic emissions from Zn and Pb smelters. © The Author(s) 2025.},

Therefore, methods for its degradation are being sought, including biodegradation using various organisms to dispose of plastics. One invertebrate animal suspected of being used in plastic biodegradation is Galleria mellonella (Insecta; Lepidoptera). However, there is no data on whether plastics ingested by this insect’s larvae will induce cytotoxic effects in cells, tissues, or organs, which would exclude this species from biodegradation. The aim of this study was to determine whether G. mellonella larvae, after consuming a popular plastic, polypropylene (PP), activate specific cytotoxic parameters. Larvae of the studied species were fed PP bags for 24 and 48 h. Control (G0-C) and starved (G0-S) individuals were also analyzed to determine whether cytotoxic effects could be attributed to factors such as a lack of normal food. Confocal microscopy and flow cytometry were changes, employed to investigate cell death processes, caspase and Bcl-2 protein activation, and mitochondrial alterations.

abstract = {It is stated, that air temperature is the leading element of the climate, including its changes, of which a well-known indicator of these changes is the seasonal dynamics of plant pollen occurrence, on the local and regional scales. The aim of this study was to assess the variability of pollen seasons in Poland in terms of temporal and spatial aspects and potential trends in seasonal dynamics related to air temperature. The pollen seasons of five allergenic plants (alder; hazel; birch; grass; and mugwort) at eight sites in Poland from to 2001–2020 were analysed. The seasonal parameters were assessed against the thermal conditions, that is, the mean monthly values of air temperature (in °C). To determine the trends in air temperature changes, measurements over a longer period (1961–2020) and a linear regression equation were used. The beginning of the pollen seasons in Poland is highly variable for early pollinating trees is closely related to the ongoing rise in air temperature during winter months, mainly in December. Birch pollen appeared earlier in Poland because of the increasing trend in the average monthly air temperature in April. Warm and humid summers contribute to a higher SPIn value for grass pollen, whereas warm and dry summers do not affect the season intensity. The mugwort pollen seasons are getting shorter due to lower temperatures in June and July. The present study showed a clear increase in the mean annual air temperature in all studied cities, which affected the pollen season of allergenic plants. © The Author(s) 2026.},

abstract = {Quartzite regions tend to present incipient and unconsolidated surface materials, even in areas with humid tropical climates. The degree of weathering of surface materials and its relationship to topography in these environments remains unknown. Therefore, the objective of this study is to analyze the relationship between topography and the mineralogy of the clay fraction of surface materials developed in quartzite bedrock. We selected three representative slopes along which transects were installed from the crest to the valley floor. Nine geocover samples were collected for analysis by X-ray diffraction. The results were analyzed using the Principal Component Analysis method. The results show a correlation between the identified materials, their position on the slope, the slope profile, and the presence of natural barriers. In the first transect, representing a quartzite ridge with extremely incipient weathering material, minerals indicative of highly weathered environments with poor drainage, such as kaolinite and illite, were found. In the second transect, representing broad interfluves with long slopes and low gradients, samples presented Fe and Al oxides and hydroxides, demonstrating the advanced degree of weathering in the area. The third transect, conducted in a secondary divide with a convex profile, collected a deeper sample containing goethite and siderite, indicating a poorly drained environment with water remaining in the system for a short time. Thus, it can be seen that, despite the predominantly quartzite basement, the shape of interfluves and slopes allows for differentiated development of the weathering mantle materials, strongly dependent on drainage dynamics and varying along the slope as a function of changes in longitudinal profiles. © This work is licensed under the Creative Commons License Atribution 4.0 Internacional (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) – CC BY.

abstract = {Accurate forecasting of high streamflow remains a significant challenge and is essential for sustainable water resource management and disaster mitigation, particularly due to the data imbalance often present during model development. This study proposes novel hybrid models through a comprehensive investigation of resampling techniques and machine learning algorithms. Four ensemble methods—Random Forest (RF), Extremely Randomized Trees (ET), Adaptive Boosting (ADA), and Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGB)—along with traditional methods such as Support Vector Regression (SVR) and K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), were employed and compared for daily streamflow forecasting in the Thale Sap Songkhla Basin, southern Thailand. The key finding indicated that the recursive method consistently outperformed the direct method across all models. Additionally, combining original and resampled data enhanced forecast accuracy for various models. Even models such as RF, ET, ADA, and XGB, which typically show limited responsiveness to resampling, benefited to some extent from this approach. SVR demonstrated the highest sensitivity to resampling adjustments, particularly when paired with SVMSMOTE and Org-Resampling methods. KNN also exhibited notable improvements under several Org-Resampling strategies. These results present a promising framework for high streamflow prediction that can be adapted and applied to other river basins. © 2025 The Authors},

This phenomenon makes traversing huge interstellar distances possible within a human lifetime. If not for engineering limitations, this could open up interstellar travel for humanity. However, time dilation makes sustaining a society's coherence challenging. A social transition toward a nomadic lifestyle has been offered as a potential solution to this problem. The paper further explores this idea and speculates on the impact that time dilation could have on the innovation rate of a theoretical society of interstellar nomads.

abstract = {Clitellate annelids (Clitellata) are hermaphrodites with gonads localized in specific segments in the anterior body part. Localization of gonads and the structure of the reproductive systems are considered conservative traits of clitellate evolution and are used as crucial features in their taxonomy and in phylogenetic considerations. The study aimed to present the ovary morphology, histology, and ultrastructure in two Delaya species. The genus Delaya groups poorly known cave-living clitellate annelids, and their ovary organization and oogenesis are entirely unknown. Moreover, their taxonomic status is under debate. According to recent molecular analyses, Delaya and two other genera form the family Pelodrilidae, closely related to earthworms. To enhance our understanding of these cave-living animals' reproductive biology and provide new characters that may aid in phylogenetic considerations, the light and electron microscopic techniques were used to study the organization of the ovaries and the course of oogenesis in two species: one from a cave in Greece (Delaya sp. GR) and the other from a cave in France (Delaya sp. FR). In both species studied, two pairs of ovaries are located in two consecutive segments – XII and XIII. Each ovary consists of 3–5 functional units. The ovarian units are polarized: their apical parts (attached to the septum) contain oogonia and early meiotic cells, while the broader distal ends contain growing oocytes and nurse cells. Initially, Germline cyst formation in cells (oogonia and early meiotic cells) develop synchronously, forming syncytial cysts in which each cell is connected via a single ring canal to the central cytoplasm (cytophore). Then, during meiotic prophase (in diplotene), synchrony is lost, and it is likely that one cell per cyst begins accumulating nutrients and differentiating into an oocyte. As oocytes detach from the cyst and continue oogenesis as individual cells, the remaining cells stay interconnected, do not grow, and are regarded as nurse cells. Yolk absorption is not completed in the ovary; vitellogenic oocytes are transferred to the ovisacs, where they continue to accumulate nutrients. Ovisacs are paired, long, sac-like structures, extending through several body segments (XII-XV). Delaya produces mesolecithic eggs with prominent yolk spheres, lipid droplets, and glycogen granules. Only some minor differences were observed between the two studied species. The most notable difference concerns the cytophore shape and volume in cysts connecting nurse cells. In Delaya sp. FR, the cytophore is reticular and inconspicuous, whereas in Delaya sp. GR, the cytophore is more prominent and may contain nurse cell nuclei. The obtained results confirm that the formation of the germline cysts equipped with the cytophore is a conservative phase of oogenesis in clitellates. Morphological observations suggest that in Delaya, the clustering cells differentiate into two subpopulations: oocyte and nurse cells, which aligns with the reports presenting oogenesis in other clitellates. Considering the differences in ovary organization between Delaya and other clitellates, we propose to refer to these as “Delaya-type” ovaries. The main similarities and differences between “Delaya” ovaries and other clitellate annelids are discussed. It is suggested that the presence of cysts equipped with the reticular cytophore could be an apomorphy of Pelodrilidae, earthworms, and allied taxa. We also provide DNA barcode sequences for Delaya sp. FR to shed light on its taxonomic identity. Furthermore, the phylogenetic analysis that was conducted indicates that Delaya sp. FR occupies a basal position among its congeners for which molecular data are available. © 2025 The Authors},

Special attention is paid to the connection between the concepts of justice and sustainability, and how considering one cannot be done without including the other. The analysis of those three ideas provided insight into how building resilience in rural areas can help achieve global goals. As an example of this process, a study was conducted in a rural commune of Dąbrowa Chełmińska, Kujawsko-Pomorskie Region, Poland. A combined SWOT and AHP methodological approach was used based on the case study analysis, using the data obtained from community interviews. Gathering research results show that inhabitants tend to focus more on everyday problems, individual experiences and internal system matters, and they treat external and global factors as less relevant. This study also concludes that addressing local issues and creating proecological literacy are crucial in building resilience and achieving global sustainable goals in rural and suburban areas. © 2025 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.},

abstract = {Abscisic acid (ABA) and the ABA-dependent bZIP transcription factor ABA INSENSITIVE5 (HvABI5) are involved in regulating ecophysiological responses during the reproductive phase of barley under drought stress. Here, we show that a mutant allele of HvABI5, Hvabi5.d, exhibits disturbed photosynthesis and leaf stomatal closure in response to drought applied at heading (when the inflorescence emerges from the flag leaf), resulting in both reduced height and yield. Comparative transcriptome analysis of RNA from the second leaf below the flag leaf revealed increased expression of genes involved in stress response and jasmonic acid biosynthesis in Hvabi5.d under drought. In contrast, Flowering Locus T (HvFT) and auxin-related genes showed decreased expression. The metabolome of Hvabi5.d revealed increased amounts of dihydrojasmonic acid and the inactive auxin indole-3-carboxylic acid in response to drought. ABA treatment of Hvabi5.d at booting (when the flag leaf sheath extends and becomes visibly swollen) induced expression of ABA-dependent kinases along with barley MADS-box 3 (HvBM3) and barley MADS-box 8 (HvBM8), genes involved in flowering regulation, in leaves. Our data indicate that HvABI5 is a key ABA-dependent stress regulator in barley and plays an essential role in ABA crosstalk with jasmonic acid and auxin under drought at the reproductive phase of inflorescence development. © 2025 Elsevier B.V.},

abstract = {Germ cell precursors developing into functional gametes tend to form syncytial groups of cells known as cysts, clusters, or nests. Such cysts develop in the early stages of gametogenesis when gonial cells divide without full cytokineses, and cells (cystocytes) stay interconnected by relatively large cytoplasmic channels termed cytoplasmic (intercellular) bridges or ring canals. Such germline cysts occur during oogenesis in clitellate annelids (Clitellata). A distinctive feature of female cysts in clitellates is the presence of the cytophore, a shared anuclear cytoplasmic mass that occupies the cyst center. Each clustering cystocyte has one ring canal connecting it to the cytophore. This general pattern of cyst architecture is conserved in this group; however, the number of interconnected cells (from eight to 2500) and the shape and dimensions of the cytophore (reticular; ball-like; or tree-like) vary between taxa. This plasticity in cyst organization is usually conserved at the family/subfamily level and can, therefore, be a useful morphological/histological feature for phylogenetical considerations. This chapter presents the general aspects of cysts’ organization and function. Moreover, we present several variants of cyst organization found in the main groups of Clitellata, such as microdriles, leech-like taxa, and megadriles. We also note the recent progress in cyst analyses and the resulting perspectives on cyst evolution in this group. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2026.},

abstract = {This study evaluates the performance of physically-based and deep learning models in simulating runoff and estimating terrestrial water storage (TWS) in the Hablehroud River Basin, a semi-arid watershed in northern Iran with increasing irrigation demands. Two semi-distributed and physically-based models, including SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool), VIC (Variable Infiltration Capacity), and lumped and semi-distributed configurations of Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BLSTM-L and BLSTM-S), were applied using daily meteorological and hydrometric data. The GLEAM v4.2 (Global Land Evaporation Amsterdam Model) dataset was used to estimate evapotranspiration, and a water balance method was used to determine monthly TWS. The monthly TWS results from each model varied considerably, especially during the growing season, but the annual storage estimates from each model exhibited a similar bias. The BLSTM-S model showed excellent consistency in monthly TWS estimation and the highest accuracy in streamflow simulation (NSE = 0.87; KGE = 0.91). According to observational analysis, BLSTM-S best represented the seasonal pattern of water being withdrawn during the agricultural months and primarily stored in the winter and early spring (often as snow in mountainous regions). These results suggest that in areas affected by irrigation, monthly TWS is a more sensitive indicator of model performance. Although physically-based models offer process transparency, their higher monthly biases can reduce their reliability in short-term water allocation. The study highlights the added value of deep learning, particularly semi-distributed BLSTM, in improving both runoff simulation and seasonal water storage representation for operational water management. © The Author(s) 2025.},

abstract = {Eemian pollen profiles from the area of Poland were reviewed for the presence of a record of the Late Saalian (within the decline of the Warta stadial of the Odranian Glaciation) at their base. Such a record was found to occur in as many as 49 profiles, which creates enormous opportunities for palaeoecological reconstructions relating to the end of the penultimate glaciation and its transition to the last interglacial, including a detailed reconstruction of the vegetation history and climatic changes that occurred during this time. On the example of a selection of revised pollen profiles, Late Saalian climate oscillations were found to be expressed by the presence of two stadials: the older Stadial 1 and the younger of which was correlated with the Kattegat stadial in Western Europe, separated by an interstadial corresponding to the Zeifen interstadial. For each of these oscillations, quite large differences were shown between individual profiles, in terms of both pollen records and lithology. The differences probably have several reasons: (1) the meridional differentiation of the analysed site locations, (2) the diversity in stratigraphic and taxonomic resolution of the conducted pollen analyses and (3) the non-normative description of the sediments not being supported by lithological and geochemical analyses. The location of the Late Saalian/Eemian boundary in the analysed profiles was also investigated, and new criteria for its determination were formulated that reference both pollen and lithological records. On this basis, in the case of two profiles, the location of this boundary as determined in previous studies was changed. It was indicated that the same mineral sediments could have been deposited in different climatic conditions, probably depending on the structure of the catchment area. Additional proxies (e.g. geochemical; lithological; isotopic; morphoscopic) can highlight catchment specificity and verify the one-dimensional (and thus sometimes erroneous) view that lithology is evidence of climate characteristics, which poses a challenge for future revisions of stratotype sites. © © 2025.

abstract = {Pathogenic fungi cause economic loss to many crops including strawberry, highlighting the need for control using sustainable eco-friendly strategies. Earthworm casts effectively reduce the occurrence of soil-borne diseases. However, the interactions between earthworms and soil-borne pathogenic fungi and their underlying mechanisms remain insufficiently understood in strawberry. This study investigated the effects of the pathogenic fungi Fusarium oxysporum and Alternaria alstroemeriae on the structure and composition of the microbial communities in the drilosphere soil and earthworm gut using high-throughput sequencing. The impact of these pathogenic fungi on functional gene expression in earthworms was determined using transcriptomic analysis. Applying F. oxysporum and A. alstroemeriae with earthworms significantly altered the physicochemical properties of the drilosphere soil, reduced the fungal alpha diversity therein, and increased the abundance of potentially beneficial Pseudomonas spp. and Bacillus spp. The presence of the pathogenic fungi increased the alpha diversity and habitat niche breadth of the fungal community in the earthworm gut. However, there was a significant reduction in the relative abundance of potentially pathogenic fungi to plants and animals in the earthworm gut. Earthworms had a positive legacy effect on the abundance of beneficial bacteria in the rhizosphere and enhanced strawberry biomass. Transcriptomic analysis demonstrated that earthworms activated α-linolenic acid and glycerophospholipid metabolism but downregulated the Toll-like receptor pathway, mitigating excessive immune responses. In summary, earthworms suppress soil-borne pathogenic fungi in strawberry via an integrated mechanism involving the restructuring of the gut microbiota, enrichment of biocontrol agents in the drilosphere, and coordination of host immunity, offering a novel paradigm for pest management and sustainable means for strawberry cultivation. © 2025 The Authors.},

A dump located in the Upper Silesian Coal Basin served as the research site for a multi-method analysis combining remote sensing and field-based data. Two UAV survey campaigns were conducted, capturing RGB, infrared, and multispectral imagery. These were supplemented with direct ground measurements of subsurface temperature and detailed vegetation mapping. Additionally, publicly available satellite data from the Landsat and Sentinel missions were analysed. A range of vegetation and fire-related indices (NDVI; SAVI; EVI; BAI; among others) were calculated to identify thermally active zones and assess vegetation conditions within these degraded areas. The results revealed strong seasonal variability in vegetation indices on thermally active sites, with evidence of disrupted vegetation cycles, including winter greening in moderately heated root zones – a pattern indicative of stress and degradation processes. While open-access satellite data, such as Landsat and Sentinel-2, proved useful in reconstructing the fire history of the dump, their spatial resolution was insufficient for detailed monitoring of small-scale thermal anomalies. The study highlights the diagnostic potential of UAV-based remote sensing in post-industrial environments undergoing land degradation but emphasises the importance of field validation for accurate environmental assessment. © © 2025.

abstract = {Sustainable water management is particularly important in mountainous areas, where access to surface water is limited and drilled wells often remain the only reliable source of fresh water. Locating aquifers in such regions is challenging due to the complex geological conditions. In this context, geophysical methods, especially electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), can provide valuable support in identifying zones with higher groundwater potential in areas such as the Carpathian flysch, composed mainly of sandstones and shales occurring in varying proportions. The paper presents case studies from the Magura and Silesian Nappes, demonstrating how ERT surveys, verified by borehole data, helped indicate aquifer locations and assess hydrogeological conditions. The application of ERT in the specific geology of the Carpathian flysch allowed for the identification of the influence of lithological proportions and water mineralisation on the values of electrical resistivity and the summary of the limitations and possibilities of the ERT method in difficult mountain conditions. Although heterogeneous geological settings may limit the precision of interpretations, the results confirm that ERT is an effective tool for improving the recognition of groundwater resources in mountainous flysch areas and thus giving people access to water. © The Author(s) 2025.},

abstract = {Areas with low deformation rates, such as continental interiors or mature orogens, may represent significant seismic hazard zones, albeit still insufficiently recognized. Relatively low-magnitude earthquakes occurring in such regions pose challenges for paleoseismology, despite occasional documented surface fault ruptures. This study focuses on a scarp located in the Podhale Basin (Central Western Carpathians) that deviates from empirical displacement-length scaling relationships. Despite its relatively short length of only 3 km, the scarp, measuring 4 m in height, presents several indications of its tectonic origin, yet to some extent scarp height could have been exaggerated by creep of weathered clays. Geophysical GPR and ERT surveys revealed a vertical discontinuity directly beneath the scarp. Moreover, we identified distinct features interpreted as a fault zone in a trench across the scarp. Lacking material suitable for dating, we estimated the age of the fault scarp at 10–50 ka using simple linear diffusion modeling. However, this result requires caution due to assumptions like scarp formation from a single event. Yet, the consistency of the estimated age with the superposition of the scarp relative to the morphology and weathered covers from the last glaciation is noteworthy. Furthermore, morphological and geological mapping suggests dextral oblique kinematics of the studied fault. The prevailing trend of NE (NNE) compression across the Podhale and Orava basins and the Tatra Mountains aligns the dextral Brzegi fault with the broader Alpine-Carpathian geodynamic framework. The Brzegi fault, as part of the broader Białka fault zone, provides evidence of far-field effects, serving as an NNW-striking dextral antithetic fault to major sinistral NE-SW striking faults. The recognized pattern indicates the continued post-Miocene Alpine extrusion towards the Carpathians. © 2025 Elsevier B.V.},

abstract = {Foraminifera are one of the most abundant and diverse groups of biomineralizing marine microorganisms. While they first appeared in the early Cambrian, during the early Paleozoic they were dominated by morphologically simple agglutinated taxa. More complex, multichambered calcitic forms first emerged during the Middle Devonian “Givetian Revolution,” during which Foraminifera formed very important constituents of the Middle Devonian reef communities in Euramerica. Surprisingly, however, Devonian foraminifera have never been recorded from northern Gondwana. Here, we present the first record of Devonian foraminifera from the Mader Basin (eastern Anti-Atlas; Morocco), along the northern margin of the Gondwana shelf. This foraminiferal community has very limited taxonomic diversity and morphologic disparity compared to contemporaneous Euramerican assemblages, and primarily consists of tubular forms. This likely resulted from paleoenvironmental implications of the high southern latitude of the Mader Basin (ca. 40–45˚S), which was near the edge of the Devonian reef zone. © 2025 International Association for Gondwana Research},

abstract = {Environmental pollution due to fine particulate matter (particulate matter ≤ 2.5 μm; PM<inf>2.5</inf>) is a major health concern worldwide, especially in India. In the post-monsoon and winter seasons, meteorological conditions favor the confinement of aerosols, leading to higher concentrations of PM<inf>2.5</inf> in the Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP). Scientific research has associated PM<inf>2.5</inf> exposure with various causes of premature mortality, including ischemic heart disease (IHD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and lung cancer (LC). This study investigates spatial and temporal variability and transport of particulate matter (utilizing the airmass back trajectory analysis) over six states in the IGP to gain insights into their origin and transport, during the most polluted (post-monsoon and winter) seasons. Among all monitored locations, Delhi reported the greatest PM<inf>2.5</inf> loading during the winter and post-monsoon seasons (170.47 ± 84.80 µg m⁻³), followed by Patna, Bihar (130.47 ± 61.97 µg m⁻³). Using the Integrated Exposure–Response (IER) model, our analysis indicates that annual exposure to PM<inf>2.5</inf> could lead to more than 3,000 premature deaths per million people in each city, based on the WHO guideline limits. This study presents a comparative assessment of PM concentrations and the associated mortality risks across six states of the Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP), with two monitoring sites in each state. The findings provide valuable insights to support policymakers in developing effective air quality management and mitigation strategies. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V. 2025.},

abstract = {Landfill leachate (LL), generated primarily by rainwater seepage through waste layers, poses a significant environmental threat owing to its complex composition. LL assessment is typically based on physicochemical analyses, which may not be sufficient for drawing reliable conclusions. Comprehensive LL characterization is crucial for monitoring the environmental impact of leachate and assessing the effectiveness of the treatment. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the relationship between leachate toxicity to three plant species, Sinapis alba, Lepidium sativum, and Sorghum saccharatum, and its physicochemical properties. Furthermore, the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAHs) removal efficiency from leachate was assessed. Systems without vegetation were more effective in removing PAHs than those with vegetation, achieving a concentration reduction exceeding 90 %. The difference in PAH removal between the unvegetated and vegetated systems with biochar was greater than 60 %. The longer retention time yielded the best results in leachate treatment, including a reduction of 3- and 4-ring PAHs by 57.71 % and 26.7 %, respectively, and a stimulating effect was demonstrated regardless of the system variant used. Our results indicated that raw LL inhibited plant growth and caused high phytotoxicity (Germination Index (GI) < 50 %) in all plant species analyzed. However, LL after treatment at 14-day HRT did not cause phytotoxic effects, as the GI in all cases exceeded 100 %. Clear differences in the sensitivity of individual plant species to LL were observed, with L. sativum being the most sensitive species under the majority of experimental conditions. These results provide additional reference data for risk assessment and leachate management. © 2026 The Authors},
