First Record of Larval Parasitism in Disonycha glabrata (F.) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) by Myiopharus ancilla (Walker) (Diptera: Tachinidae)

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The amaranth flea beetle, Disonycha glabrata (F.), is a major pest of amaranth crops (Amaranthus spp.) in the United States. Despite its economic impact, its natural enemy complex remains poorly documented. In this study, we report the first record of larval parasitism in D. glabrata by the tachinid fly Myiopharus ancilla (Walker).

Evolution in arid environments: the role of betalains, succulence, and medullary bundles

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Overview of the study system. Summary The flowering plant clade Caryophyllales includes many succulent species that grow in drought conditions. Many Caryophyllales species also have betalain pigmentation and medullary bundles, both of which have been linked to stress tolerance, albeit with less precise functional characterisation.

Phytochemical Composition and Antibacterial Activity of Medicinal Plants Against Bacterial Pathogens Isolated From Livestock Wound Infections

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.
The graphical abstract visually summarizes the study's key findings: it lists the major bacterial pathogens isolated from livestock wounds (such as S. aureus and E. coli) and the medicinal plants tested (Withania somnifera, Achyranthes aspera. It highlights the phytochemicals (alkaloids, flavonoids, etc.) present in the plant extracts and shows that ...

Anthocyanins and betalains in evolution: Why mutual exclusion remains the best‐supported model

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 6, Page 1763-1766, October 2026.
Anthocyanins and betalains are plant pigments produced through different biosynthetic pathways and are generally considered mutually exclusive. We examine claims of their co‐occurrence, arguing that methodological flaws and data misinterpretation have led to unsupported reports, and offer recommendations for more rigorous future research.

Diel net CO2 exchange of carnivorous Pinguicula is consistent with low‐level CAM photosynthesis

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 6, Page 1813-1819, October 2026.
In carnivorous butterworts (Pinguicula), CO2 uptake occurs primarily in the light via C3 photosynthesis, yet low‐level CAM photosynthesis, including net CO2 dark fixation, significantly improves the carbon balance of plants, especially under water‐deficit conditions.

Incomplete climate‐driven peripatric speciation in Moehringia sect. Moehringia (Caryophyllaceae) in the European Alps

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Premise The origin of endemic species in the European Alps is commonly attributed to the climatic oscillations of the Quaternary. Moehringia sect. Moehringia, with 12 of 15 species endemic to the Alps and mostly restricted to well‐known glacial refugia, is a prime system for investigating the diversification of a lineage originating in the ...

Exploring the Multitarget Pharmacological Potential of Halogeton sativus Secondary Metabolites: An Integrated Experimental and Computational Approach

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 9, September 2026.
Halogeton sativus is investigated through phytochemical isolation, biological evaluation, molecular dicking, molecular dynamics simulation, and ADMET prediction. The identified metabolites exhibit promising antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antidiabetic activities, while computational analyses provide mechanistic insights and favorable
