High phylogenetic turnover magnifies evolutionary relatedness along bacterial primary succession

open access: yesEcology, Volume 107, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Current models of microbial primary succession postulate that stochasticity dominates the early stages of soil community assembly, generating phylogenetically random patterns that are lost as abiotic and biotic filters gain relevance. We hypothesized that, under severe environmental stress, abiotic filters may override stochasticity from early

Aiouea affinis (Lauraceae): A New Tree Species From the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest

open access: yesFeddes Repertorium, Volume 137, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aiouea is a Neotropical genus of Lauraceae currently comprising ca. 85 species. Descriptions of new taxa have been frequent in recent years, particularly in Brazil, which currently hosts 35 species, 24 of them being endemic. Based on a review of herbarium material and recent collections, we propose a new species, Aiouea affinis, named for its ...

Research Trends on Trace Element Contamination in Brazilian Urban Lentic Ecosystems: Environmental and Policy Drivers

open access: yesInternational Review of Hydrobiology, Volume 111, Issue 1, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Lentic ecosystems are vulnerable to contamination by trace elements, which can accumulate and pose risks to aquatic life and human health. In a large, developing country such as Brazil, marked by vast geographic, environmental, and socioeconomic diversity, it is crucial to understand how these factors shape research on this group of ...

Scheffrahnitermes ubuntu (Isoptera: Apicotermitinae), Description of a New Termite Using a Collaborative Approach to Address the Wallacean Shortfall

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.
The study of Neotropical Apicotermitinae remains challenging due to the large number of undescribed taxa (Linnean shortfall) as well as the scarcity of distributional data (Wallacean shortfall). Despite recent efforts to reduce the first one, the second remains an even more significant challenge.

Regulatory Framework and Public Policies for Sustainability in the Construction Sector

open access: yesSustainable Development, Volume 34, Issue 3, Page 3229-3248, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This study analyzes the role of public policies in promoting socially responsible practices in the construction sector, with a particular focus on their contribution to climate neutrality and the decarbonization of the building stock. European agreements exert increasing pressure to transform the construction sector, reinforcing the transition

Genetic control of wheat flour end‐use quality and rheology by genome‐wide association studies

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Improving end‐use quality in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) requires dissecting the genetic basis of complex processing traits and deploying robust prediction pipelines in breeding. We performed genome‐wide association studies (GWASs) using 1767 high‐quality single‐nucleotide polymorphisms generated by genotyping‐by‐sequencing in a diverse ...

Optimization of Turbidity Removal in Water Using Chemically Modified Tannins From Brazilian Species

open access: yesWater Environment Research, Volume 98, Issue 6, June 2026.
Cationized tannins from Stryphnodendron adstringens and Mimosa tenuiflora efficiently removed water turbidity under optimized conditions. These natural coagulants demonstrated nearly 100% clarification, offering sustainable alternatives for water treatment.

From pollen provision to pollinator: Species‐specific sterol assimilation by wild bees in urban landscapes

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1906-1920, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Human‐driven landscape change, particularly urbanization, is reshaping pollinator communities, yet the functional traits that mediate species persistence remain poorly understood. Dietary specialization is commonly used to predict species vulnerability.

Landscape forest cover, not edge contrast, modulates edge effects on palm diversity

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Our findings demonstrate that landscape forest cover plays a critical role in modulating edge effects in plant communities in our study system, but not all woody crops systems provide buffering benefits, as cacao plantations in our study failed to soften edge effects.
