Phytotoxic Effects of Ethanolic Extracts of Magonia pubescens A.St.‐Hil. (Sapindaceae) on the Germination of Emilia sonchifolia (L.) DC. Seeds

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 9, September 2026.
Ethanolic extracts from Magonia pubescens exhibit concentration‐dependent allelopathic activity against Emilia sonchifolia. Leaf extracts strongly inhibit seed germination and seedling growth, surpassing glyphosate under the tested conditions, whereas intermediate concentrations stimulate germination, indicating hormesis.

Two New Polyketides From Streptomyces sp. SA61: Isolation, Structure Elucidation, and Insecticidal Activity Against Bemisia tabaci

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 9, September 2026.
Isolation of six polyketides (including two new compounds, strekingmycins I and J) from earthworm gut‐derived Streptomyces sp. SA61 and their insecticidal activity against third‐instar nymphs of Bemisia tabaci. Strekingmycin A (1) exhibited the most potent activity (LC50 = 5.58 µg/mL), comparable to the commercial insecticide spirotetramat. ABSTRACT To

Metagenomic Profiling of Barn Owl (Tyto javanica javanica) Regurgitated Pellets Reveals Spatially Structured Environmental Microbiota in Paddy Agroecosystems

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Metagenomic analysis of regurgitated pellets reveals that tropical barn owls act as critical environmental biosensors in paddy fields. Findings demonstrate these owls contribute significantly more to the beneficial redistribution of environmental microbes than to spreading zoonotic diseases, providing valuable ecological services to agroecosystems ...
