The Coevolution of Colour Patterns and Hindwing Shapes on a Large Phylogenetic Scale Reveals Predation‐Driven Adaptive Syndromes in Swallowtail Butterflies

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 1, January 2026.
By combining computer vision and morphometrics on museum specimens, we show that hindwing tail shape and colour patterns evolved in concert across swallowtails. Long‐tailed species display contrasted stripes and marginal spots, suggesting coevolution of deflective traits promoted by natural selection by predators.

Nutritional Status in Grapevine–Alfalfa Intercropping System on Agricultural and Heavy Metal‐Contaminated Soils

International Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Wild grapevine was cultivated either alone or in association with Medicago sativa–rhizobia symbiosis on two soil types: an agricultural soil and a contaminated one. In the present work, we observed that in the agricultural soil, grapevine intercropped with the alfalfa–rhizobium combination exhibited a significant increase in whole plant biomass ...

Update of the list of QPS‐recommended biological agents intentionally added to food or feeds as notified to EFSA

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) process was developed to provide a harmonised safety assessment approach to support EFSA Scientific Panels and Units. The QPS approach assesses the taxonomic identity, body of relevant knowledge and safety concerns of microorganisms intentionally added to the food and feed chain.
