Gradual pollen release in a buzz‐pollinated plant: Investigating pollen presentation theory under bee visitation

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 476-485, February 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The rate at which flowers dispense pollen across successive pollinator visits is a key functional trait influencing male reproductive success. Pollen presentation theory (PPT) predicts that when pollinators are abundant and actively groom their bodies to collect pollen,

Developing an understanding of American elderberry (Sambucus nigra subsp. canadensis (L.) Bolli) to support breeding efforts

open access: yesCrop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Elderberries (Sambucus spp.) have been valued as food and medicine around the world for millennia. Elderberry products are experiencing an increase in demand as ongoing research substantiates their putative health benefits. European elderberries (Sambucus nigra subsp. nigra) are an established industry in Europe and are often imported into the

Safety evaluation of the food enzyme papain, a cysteine endopeptidase complex from the latex of Carica papaya L.

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The food enzyme is a cysteine endopeptidase complex, containing papain (EC 3.4.22.2), chymopapain (EC 3.4.22.6), caricain (EC 3.4.22.30) and glycyl endopeptidase (EC 3.4.22.25), obtained from the latex of unripe Carica papaya L. by Enzybel International SA. It is intended to be used in nine food manufacturing processes.

Winter diet of Korean long‐tailed goral Naemorhedus caudatus: natural foraging and post‐wildfire supplementary feeding revealed by DNA metabarcoding

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Understanding the winter diets of endangered ungulates is critical for developing effective conservation strategies in temperate ecosystems, where seasonal fluctuations significantly affect food availability. The long‐tailed goral Naemorhedus caudatus, an herbivorous ungulate listed as a category I ‘Endangered species' (EN) under the Korean Wildlife ...

Measurement of Ungulate Palatability and Browsing Pressure on Japanese Flora

open access: yesEcological Research, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.
Estimation of palatability and browsing pressure are key techniques for ecosystem management. We compared four methods to estimate palatability based on browsing scar survey and proposed the reference palatability values for the Japanese flora as plant ecological trait.

Negative Frequency‐Dependent Selection Promotes Strain Structure in a Plant Pathogen

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 1, January 2026.
Strains of the plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae, defined by the combination of virulence factors known as effectors, exhibit in isolates from the Midwestern US a modular population structure congruent with core genome phylogeny. A stochastic and individual‐based computational model supports a role of negative frequency‐dependent selection in ...

Actinidia spp. Seedling Evaluation [PDF]

open access: yesHortScience, 1995
Kiwifruit (A. chinensis, A. deliciosa) seedlings were propagated from seeds collected from their native habitat in China. They were planted at the Pacific Agri. Res. Center in 1988 for the purpose of selecting superior fruit. Out of 2212 Actinidia seedlings, 1425 flowered by 1994, with 794 being male and 631 female.
