Unveiling Diet Preferences and Their Nutritional Drivers Through Metabarcoding: The Case of Alpine Marmot (Marmota marmota L.) in High Altitude Grazed Pastures

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
The alpine marmot (Marmota marmota), a crucial component of alpine ecosystems, serves both as a key player in the food chain and as an ‘ecosystem engineer.’ Employing DNA metabarcoding of fecal samples, this study investigated the diet composition and foraging strategies of four alpine marmot colonies across diverse alpine pasture ecosystems throughout

Evaluating Potential Effects of Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.) in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Chamomile contains different bioactive agents such as flavonoids and phytosterols with potential anti‐inflammatory, antioxidant, analgesic, antispasmodic, and antitumor characteristics. According to our findings, animal studies have demonstrated the potential benefits of Chamomile consumption in the treatment of PCOS. In contrast, human studies yielded

Warming‐Mediated Decreases in Nectar Quality Translate Into Lower Energy Reserves of the Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus)

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 1, March 2026.
Warming caused a significant decrease in monarch fat mass, likely due to an observed reduction in sucrose concentration caused by warming of the nectar. Since sucrose fuels fall migration and overwintering, our results suggest climate warming may reduce migration success and overwinter survival.

In Vitro Evaluation of the Inhibitory Effects of Linarin on Histamine‐Induced Expression of Proinflammatory Cytokines, Mucin 5AC, and Aquaporin 5 in Human Nasal and Bronchial Epithelial Cells

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, Volume 42, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Allergic rhinitis and asthma are two prevalent chronic allergic conditions in children. Linarin, a glycosylated flavonoid derived from various plants, exhibits a wide range of biological activities. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic potential of linarin against allergic rhinitis and asthma.

Micromorpho‐anatomical studies on the leaves and woods of Turkish Daphne (Thymelaeaceae) taxa

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
The identification of Daphne taxa is difficult because of the lack of available morphological characteristics. Here, we aimed to describe leaf and wood micromorpho‐anatomical characteristics of native Turkish Daphne taxa (D. glomerata, D. gnidioides, D. mezereum, D. mucronata, D. oleoides subsp. kurdica, D. pontica and D.
