High β‐diversity in fig wasp communities driven by species turnover in widely distributed Neotropical fig trees

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.
Wasp communities associated with fig trees, Ficus spp., are a model system to investigate how local and regional processes shape biodiversity across large geographical ranges. We investigated the β‐diversity of fig wasp assemblages associated with three widely distributed Neotropical fig species – F. citrifolia, F. obtusifolia and F. pertusa – using 27

The Redox Properties of Polyphenols and Their Role in ROS Generation for Biomedical Applications

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 3, 16 January 2026.
The dual redox nature of polyphenols enables antioxidant activity and controlled reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. This review details the biomedical applications of polyphenols in materials such as nanoparticles, coatings, and hydrogels for antimicrobial, tissue regeneration, and cancer therapies.

From Permits to Samples: Addressing Key Challenges for High‐Quality Reference Genome Generation in Europe

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT High‐quality reference genome assemblies have become essential for deepening our understanding of biodiversity, yet obtaining them for many species remains surprisingly challenging. Drawing on experiences from the European Reference Genome Atlas (ERGA) community, we focus on permit and sample‐handling procedures leading up to nucleic acid ...

Pollination and plant reproduction in the Cerrado, the world's most biodiverse savanna

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 74-105, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The Brazilian Cerrado is a continental‐wide biodiversity hotspot and the most species‐rich savanna ecosystem in the world. The main aspect characterising this biodiversity is that the landscape is arranged as an intricate mosaic of different plant formations, including grasslands, savannas, and forests, each harbouring distinct but ...

The Interplay of Climate Change, Urbanisation, and Species Traits Shapes European Butterfly Population Trends

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To examine how butterfly population trends respond to climate change and urbanisation at a continental scale, and whether responses differ between urban and rural environments. Location 869 sites across 12 European countries, spanning six bioclimatic zones. Time Period 1976–2021. Major Taxa Studied Butterflies (Lepidoptera).

Patterns of Interploidy Admixture in Polyploid Complexes: Insights From Thymus Sect. Mastichina (Lamiaceae)

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 3, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding gene flow between ploidy levels in polyploid complexes is essential for species delimitation and conservation. This study explores evolutionary dynamics in the polyploid complex Thymus sect. Mastichina (Lamiaceae), comprising three taxa: T. mastichina subsp. mastichina, T. mastichina subsp.

The frequency and importance of polyploidy in tropical rainforest tree radiations

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 2103-2114, February 2026.
Summary The presence of more than two copies of the genome in an organism, termed ‘polyploidy’, is a crucial force in plant evolution, generating genetic, phenotypic and ecological diversity. [Correction added on 22 January 2026, after first online publication: the preceding sentence has been corrected.] The Amazonian tree flora is the most species ...
