Early evolutionary history of the seed

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1511-1553, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1582-1605, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

A Sustainable Approach to Industrial Wastewater Treatment Through Aerated‐Assisted Alternating Current–Electrocoagulation Process

Electrochemical Science Advances, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The limitations of traditional direct current–electrocoagulation (DC–EC) in wastewater treatment encompass electrode passivation, high energy consumption and substantial sludge generation. Alternating current–EC, often known as AC–EC, is a technique that was developed to overcome these concerns. This study sets out to compare the effectiveness

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

International 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 ...

Two Germans, a Swede, and a Giant kōkopu: The Background to the Earliest Documented Description of a New Zealand Freshwater Fish

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 2, June 2026.
Galaxiids are a family of scaleless and mostly small freshwater fish which are distributed across the temperate latitudes of the southern hemisphere. The largest member of this family is the giant kōkopu (Galaxias argenteus), which has the added distinction of being the first New Zealand freshwater fish of any kind to be scientifically described.
