Fossils of an endangered, endemic, giant dipterocarp species open a historical portal into Borneo's vanishing rainforests. [PDF]

Am J Bot
Abstract Premise Asia's wet tropical forests face a severe biodiversity crisis, but few fossils record their evolutionary history. We recently discovered in situ cuticles on fossil leaves, attributed to the giant rainforest tree Dryobalanops of the iconic Dipterocarpaceae family, from the Plio‐Pleistocene of Brunei Darussalam (northern Borneo ...

The Optimization of Stand Structure Can Significantly Alleviate the Flammability of Forest Ecosystems. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Flammability of various plant families in surface living fuels varies significantly, and fuels of Rutaceae, Cucurbitaceae exhibited high flammability, while Arecaceae were low. Leaves, litters were high flammability fuels, humus was low flammability fuel.

Metabarcoding of Pollen Carried by Syrphids Reveals Novel Plant–Pollinator Interactions in a Protected Natural Area and Agricultural Sites

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Using DNA metabarcoding, this study investigates pollen transported by syrphids (Syrphidae) in the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park and agricultural sites in Northern Italy. The analysis reveals a high diversity of visited plant taxa, including previously undocumented plant–pollinator interactions.

Distribution and Seasonal Dynamics of Manganese and Associated Elements in Leaves of Manganese‐Hyperaccumulating Ilex Species

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 4, July 2026.
We investigated seasonal variations and tissue‐level distributions of Mn and associated elements in two Japanese Ilex species using time‐series leaf analyses and benchtop micro–X‐ray fluorescence imaging. Our results revealed strong temporal synchrony between Mn and Ca accumulation, species‐specific Mn–Zn relationships, and clear spatial partitioning ...

Screening the Chemical Composition, Antioxidant Activity, and Toxicity of Ten Species of Non‐Conventional Food Plants From Southern Brazil

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study found that the ten unconventional food plants from southern Brazil studied exhibited high antioxidant activity, a diversity of phenolic compounds, and no toxicity in vivo. These data demonstrate that these plants have promising benefits for human health and may be a potential protective agent against oxidative damage.

Seasonal variation in wild pig (Sus scrofa) diet revealed by DNA metabarcoding

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.
Using DNA metabarcoding of fecal samples, we investigated the diet of wild pigs at an extensive bottomland hardwood forest ecosystem within Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge in Southern Arkansas. We found that wild pig diet was highly diverse and included at least 74 plant families and 106 genera and 23 species of vertebrates.
