Biomonitoring 2.0 Refined: observing local change through metaphylogeography using a community-based eDNA metabarcoding monitoring network

BMC Biology
Background Biological data at different levels of organization is essential to support actions to mitigate the current biodiversity crisis. DNA metabarcoding is an established method to detect species/genus level taxa from bulk samples leading the way ...

Enhancing the Secretion Systems: Genetic Engineering of Super Bioagents for Effective Plant Disease Control

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
Genetic engineering (GE) overcomes BCA limits, enabling robust, scalable crop protection. “Super Bioagents” (SBs) use optimized SSs to enhance bioactive molecule delivery. Optimizing SSs enhance precise, sustainable effector deployment for stable disease suppression. SBs use microbiome‐informed design for scalable, next‐gen sustainable crop protection.

k-mer approaches for biodiversity genomics

Genome Research
The wide array of currently available genomes displays a wonderful diversity in size, composition, and structure and is quickly expanding thanks to several global biodiversity genomics initiatives. However, sequencing of genomes, even with the latest technologies, can still be challenging for both technical (e.g., small physical size, contaminated ...

Gene silencing in the aedine cell lines C6/36 and U4.4 using long double-stranded RNA

Parasites & Vectors
Background RNA interference (RNAi) is a target-specific gene silencing method that can be used to determine gene functions and investigate host–pathogen interactions, as well as facilitating the development of ecofriendly pesticides.

Adaptive Genomic Divergence Across Altitudes in Capsella bursa‐pastoris

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
Genomic divergence was observed between high‐altitude and low‐altitude populations of Capsella bursa‐pastoris in China, consistent with an important role of ecological factors. Candidate adaptive loci associated with enhanced energy metabolism, photoprotection, and growth plasticity under altitudinal stress were identified.

A taxonomic, geographic, and temporal assessment of local birds in Portuguese ornithological collections [PDF]

Natural History Collections and Museomics
Since the birth of modern science, natural history collections (NHCs) have constituted the world’s largest repositories of long-term biodiversity data, making them essential to modern-day research.

Counting cases, conserving species: addressing highly pathogenic avian influenza in wildlife

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has become a critical threat to wildlife, shifting from a seasonal epizootic to a persistent, year‐round panzootic with global consequences. Here, we summarise the origin, evolutionary mechanisms, and expanding host range of the current H5N1 virus (clade 2.3.4.4b) and assess its impact on wildlife. Over

Review of the fauna associated with wild and farmed mussels and oysters in the Mediterranean

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mussels and oysters are important ecosystem engineers which modify the physical and chemical characteristics of the environment and create habitats that support highly diverse associated communities. In the Mediterranean Sea, the native Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and the European flat oyster Ostrea edulis, together the ...

Heat stress in spermatogenesis: a redox‐dependent decision network linking ROS, autophagy, and regulated cell death

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heat stress (HS) is an increasing threat to male reproductive health, disrupting spermatogenesis through complex and interdependent cellular responses within the seminiferous epithelium. Although excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production is a hallmark of HS, ROS also act as central regulators of cell fate decisions beyond their role ...
