MaxEnt Projections of Climate‐Driven Distribution Shifts for Daphniphyllum calycinum in China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Using an optimized MaxEnt model, this study projects climate‐driven distribution shifts of Daphniphyllum calycinum, an ecologically and medicinally important subtropical tree in China. Results reveal that annual mean temperature and dry season precipitation primarily govern its distribution, with future warming scenarios projecting significant habitat ...

Effects of Long‐Term Thinning on Soil Nematode Communities in Pinus taiwanensis Plantations

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Moderate thinning (20% tree removal) optimizes soil resource distribution and boosts soil nematode community diversity and stability in Pinus taiwanensis plantations. Fungivorous and omnivorous‐predatory nematodes are enriched under moderate thinning, indicating trophic cascading effects in soil food webs. Moderate thinning drives nematode life‐history

eDNA Analysis of Aquatic Microcosms Reveals the Effects of a Copper Pollution Event on Sedimentary Microbial Assemblages in Freshwater Wetlands

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study used eDNA metabarcoding to assess the impacts of copper contamination on freshwater wetlands, finding that microbial community structure varies significantly with metal concentration, over a temporal scale, and between microbial communities from unpolluted and polluted wetlands. We highlight seven bacterial families as possible indicators of

Dog Waste Creates a Preference‐Performance Mismatch for Urban Dung Beetles

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study demonstrates a preference‐performance mismatch associated with an abundant urban resource. The dung beetle Onthophagus orpheus strongly prefers domestic dog dung despite substantially lower offspring survival, suggesting that the accumulation of pet waste in urban environments may have unintended ecological consequences for dung beetle ...

Potent Therapeutic Insights From Eryngium campestre: Phytochemical Profiling and In Vitro Evaluation

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
The phytochemical profiles and biological activity of ethyl acetate, ethanol, ethanol‐water, and water extracts of Eryngium campestre were assessed. E. campestre is a prospective source of multifunctional bioactive chemicals for food and nutraceutical uses, as demonstrated by the extracts' potential antioxidant, enzyme‐inhibitory, anticancer ...

Beyond Tradition: An Integrated Toxicological, Ecological, and Public Health Perspective on Aristolochic Acids

Journal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 46, Issue 8, Page 2599-2622, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aristolochia species have long been used in traditional medicine for their presumed anti‐inflammatory, analgesic and antimicrobial properties. However, extensive toxicological and epidemiological evidence now demonstrates that these plants contain aristolochic acids (AAs) I and II, highly potent nephrotoxic, genotoxic, and carcinogenic ...

On‐site pilot‐scale advanced oxidation pretreatment of hospital wastewater: assessment of pharmaceuticals, pathogens, antibiotic resistance genes and acute ecotoxicity

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, Volume 101, Issue 8, Page 1478-1491, August 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Hospital premises generate wastewater containing a wide spectrum of contaminants, such as pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs), antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and pathogenic microorganisms, whilst plenty of them are classified under the antibiotic resistant bacteria (ΑRΒ) category.
