A Comparative Study of iDNA and airDNA for Biodiversity Assessments in Tropical Forest Fragments

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Comparing invertebrate‐derived DNA and airborne eDNA across fragmented tropical forests, we show that iDNA recovers higher vertebrate richness from fewer samples, while airDNA offers greater field reliability. Together, both methods capture functional diversity gradients, supporting a combined approach for agroforestry biodiversity monitoring ...

Fungal Polysaccharides as Next‐Generation Bioactive: Advances in Structure–Activity Mapping, Mode of Action, and Biotechnological Horizons

open access: yesFood Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Fungal polysaccharides (FPs) represent a diverse class of bioactive macromolecules widely studied for their nutritional, therapeutic, and biotechnological value. This review synthesizes recent advances (2020–2025) in the structural characterization, biological functions, and translational potential of FPs.

Narrating Entanglement Without Dehumanisation in Contemporary Eco‐Fiction

open access: yesFuture Humanities, Volume 4, Issue 1, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This essay presents a comparative analysis of two contemporary works of eco‐fiction, Richard Powers's The Overstory (2018) and Eleanor Catton's Birnam Wood (2023). Both novels use multiperspective narration in the service of entanglement narratives, forms of storytelling that emphasise the interconnection of human and nonhuman life.

Extraction, Structural Characterization and Anti‐Inflammatory Activity of Polysaccharides From Conioselinum vaginatum

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study employed an ultrasonic‐assisted extraction (UAE) method combined with column chromatography purification to obtain two homogeneous polysaccharides (CVP‐I and CVP‐II) from Conioselinum vaginatum, which exhibited distinct physicochemical properties and structural characteristics, and exerted anti‐inflammatory effects by inhibiting the ...

Lecanicillium aphanocladii: a biocontrol agent against insect pests and phytopathogens

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 4089-4103, May 2026.
Recent research findings on the biocontrol potential of Lecanicillium aphanocladii fungus against insect‐pests and plant diseases were highlighted. This review indicates that several L. aphanocladii strains show great potential to be developed as multipurpose biocontrol agents active against several insect‐pests, plant diseases and plant parasitic ...
