Figure 1 in Blanco-Sánchez et al. (2026): "a) Source locations of the 18 clonal lines studied. Clonal lines are represented by different colors that reflect variation in temperature of origin, with slight adjustments to color palette to enhance visualization (i.e., warmer vs cooler colors denote lines from warmer vs cooler locations; see Table 1). This palette is maintained throughout all figures; b) Schematic representation of the experimental design. Eighteen Lemna minor clonal lines were grown under four constant temperature treatments (18 °C, 23 °C, 28 °C, and 33 °C), with two replicates per line and temperature, for five consecutive weeks (N = 720 experimental units). Each week, the relative growth rate (RGR) of each replicate was calculated from the change in total plant area over seven days; c) Spatial arrangement of jars within each growth chamber (see Methods for spatial blocking details). The first replicate of each line was randomly assigned to a 4 × 5 grid (block), and this arrangement was mirrored laterally in a second spatial block, creating an 8 × 5 grid such that each line had one replicate positioned near the chamber walls and one in the inner area, thereby balancing light exposure and any other spatial effects. Different clonal lines are represented with different colors, matching those in panel a)."

Furthermore, all institutes except one conducted a second treatment (Tr. 2) which differed between institutes and resulted in demographic heterogeneity across treatments."

New publication: Environmental stress strengthens #plant–mycorrhizal associations: A novel extension of the stress gradient hypothesis, by @camilledelavaux.bsky.social and others. #trees #forest #abioticstress doi.org/10.1002/ecy....

Figure 1 in Doolittle et al. (2026): "The Stress Gradient Hypothesis (SGH) and expansion. (A) The SGH posits that competitive interactions are more important, more intense, or more frequent in benign, low-stress environments, whereas facilitative interactions are more important, intense, or frequent in harsh, high-stress environments. Here, we expand the SGH to relatively host-specific antagonists and mutualists (B). Relatively host-specific above- and belowground plant–microbe interactions may explain shifts in net conspecific density-dependent feedback and correlated patterns of species diversity across abiotic stress gradients, such as elevation gradients representing nutrient limitation. All else being equal, antagonistic conspecific feedbacks may increase fitness differences under abiotic stress and promote species diversity by preventing competitive dominance of a single species (spatial patterns of species represented by colored circles). Alternatively, relatively host-specific facilitative feedbacks, also generated by root- or leaf-associated microbes, may bolster conspecific performance and erode diversity—particularly under regimes of high abiotic stress.

Figure 1 in Jolma et al. (2026): "Mytilicola spp. life cycle. Sexual reproduction occurs in the intestine of mussel hosts, resulting in eggs that hatch into free-living stages. Newly hatched nauplius stages go through another brief uninfectious metanauplius stage before becoming infectious copepodite 1 stages. After entering new hosts, copepodite 1 stages transition through three more copepodite stages (2–4) before becoming adult parasites. The time for completing a life cycle step (from hatching to copepodite 1 among free-living stages and from copepodite 1 to reaching the smallest size at which reproduction starts among parasitic stages) differs much based on temperature and parasite species (Jolma et al., 2024).
