Ancient Microbiomes as Mirrored by DNA Extracted From Century‐Old Herbarium Plants and Associated Soil

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 7, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Numerous specimens stored in natural history collections have been involuntarily preserved together with their associated microbiomes. We propose exploiting century‐old soils occasionally found on the roots of herbarium plants to assess the diversity of ancient soil microbial communities originally associated with these plants.

Multi‐Tool Marine Metabarcoding Bioassessment for Baselining and Monitoring Species and Communities in Kelp Habitats

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 7, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The astonishing biological diversity found in Californian kelp forests requires efficient and robust monitoring tools to better understand ecological trends and mitigate against loss or disruption of ecosystem services due to human pressure and climate changes.

Biodiversity in mountain soils above the treeline

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 1877-1949, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Biological diversity in mountain ecosystems has been increasingly studied over the last decade. This is also the case for mountain soils, but no study to date has provided an overall synthesis of the current state of knowledge. Here we fill this gap with a first global analysis of published research on cryptogams, microorganisms, and fauna in ...

Comparative Genomics of Sex‐Determination‐Related Genes Reveals Shared Evolutionary Patterns Between Bivalves and Mammals, but Not Fruit Flies

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 20, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The molecular basis of sex determination (SD), while being extensively studied in model organisms, remains poorly understood in many animal groups. Bivalves, a diverse class of molluscs with a variety of reproductive modes, represent an ideal yet challenging clade for investigating SD and the evolution of sexual systems.

Harnessing Environmental DNA to Explore Frugivorous Interactions: A Case Study in Papaya (Carica papaya) and Pineapple (Ananas comosus)

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 5, September–October 2025.
Simplified workflow of environmental DNA metabarcoding from fruits of papaya (Carica papaya) and pineapple (Ananas comosus). ABSTRACT Plant–animal interactions (PAIs) are critical in natural and agricultural ecosystems, mediating energy flow with both positive and negative interactions.

DNA barcodes reliably differentiate between nivicolous species of Diderma (Myxomycetes, Amoebozoa) and reveal regional differences within Eurasia.

Protist
The nivicolous species of the genus Diderma are challenging to identify, and there are several competing views on their delimitation. We analyzed 102 accessions of nivicolous Diderma spp.

Thin film structural color is widespread in slime molds (Myxomycetes, Amoebozoa).

Optics Express
Brilliant colors in nature arise from the interference of light with periodic nanostructures resulting in structural color. While such biological photonic structures have long attracted interest in insects and plants, they are little known in other ...

The presence of plasmenyl ether lipids in Capsaspora owczarzaki suggests a premetazoan origin of plasmalogen biosynthesis in animals

Heliyon
Plasmalogens are glycerophospholipids with a vinyl ether bond, rather than an ester bond, at sn-1 position. These lipids were described in anaerobic bacteria, myxobacteria, animals and some protists, but not in plants or fungi.
