The Mycorrhizal Fungal Species Funneliformis mosseae Reshapes Rhizosphere Microbial Metabolic Pathways of Soybeans Under Tetracycline Stress

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.
The presence of residual antibiotics (tetracycline) poses a threat to food safety in the black soils of northeastern China and a mycorrhizal fungal species Funneliformis mosseae could mitigate the negative effects. This study tracked the changes in soybeans' rhizospheric microbial profiles and the associated metabolites during the bioremediation ...

Untreated Hair Dye Effluents Enter the Environment: Are They a Threat to Human Health?

Environmental Toxicology, Volume 41, Issue 10, Page 998-1010, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The effluents generated during the process of hair dyeing exhibit a complex composition, comprising chemical compounds with varying toxicity levels. While the adverse impact of hair dyes on human health is acknowledged, there is a notable absence of studies addressing the toxicity associated with effluents produced during these activities. The

Comprehensive Evaluation of Bisphenol A Toxicity Reveals Neurobehavioral, Metabolic, and Reproductive Impairments in Girardia tigrina

Environmental Toxicology, Volume 41, Issue 10, Page 849-861, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Bisphenol A (BPA), a common industrial chemical used in plastics and consumer products, is increasingly detected in aquatic environments, raising serious concerns about its potential ecological impacts. This study evaluated the sublethal and acute toxic effects of BPA on the freshwater planarian Girardia tigrina, a recognized model for ...

Bioindicators in Environmental Monitoring: Bioluminescent Bacteria, Mussels and Honeybees

, 2005
Toxic pollutants are found everywhere in the environment and their early detection is of primary importance to avoid damages. Bioindicators are very useful tools, serving as early warnings that a community or an ecosystem is being degraded.

Diagnosing Anaerobic Digesters' Function and Performance: From Meta‐Omics to Integrated Meta‐Omics Analyses

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 5, October 2026.
The integration of multiple meta‐omics can tremendously improve our understanding of the structure, function and dynamics of the complex biological system in anaerobic digesters. Created in BioRender. https://BioRender.com/u9rj8ko. ABSTRACT Anaerobic digestion (AD) of organic wastes by microorganisms into biomethane contributes significantly towards ...

Eusocial bee species are exposed to different toxic element profiles despite foraging within the same landscape

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 5, Page 912-925, October 2026.
Bombus terrestris and Apis mellifera colonies sharing the same landscape (<50 m from each other) collected pollen with significantly different heavy metal concentrations. B. terrestris‐collected pollen contained 2–7× higher concentrations of arsenic, chromium, cobalt, lead and tin than A. mellifera‐collected pollen.

Closed‐Loop Radiative Cooling Mulch Upcycled From Agricultural Residues for Efficient Soil Heat–Water Stress Mitigation

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 49, 3 September 2026.
Conventional passive radiative cooling films rely on costly feedstocks and energy‐intensive fabrication, with poor end‐of‐life compatibility in agriculture. To address this challenge, a sustainable radiative cooling mulch (SRCM) is developed from waste maize leaves via spontaneous hydrogen‐bond self‐assembly.

Between and Within Bay Differences in Mesozooplankton Assemblages in the Central and Eastern Baltic Sea: An Exploratory Study

Biological Diversity, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 149-157, September 2026.
Mesozooplankton assemblages differed significantly both between and within Baltic Sea bays, driven mainly by local salinity and temperature gradients. Distinct communities occurred over distances of less than 1 km, demonstrating strong fine‐scale spatial variability.

Tracing Human Footprint in Bird Nests: Plastic Occurrence and Drivers in the Long‐Legged Buzzard (Buteo rufinus)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Long‐legged Buzzard (Buteo rufinus) nests function as long‐term reservoirs of macroplastics, with plastic material persisting in nest structures and being transferred to other bird species through interspecific nest reuse. This persistence creates an overlooked pathway for the accumulation and spread of plastic pollution in terrestrial ecosystems, with
