Does water vole diet meet the prerequisites of the “plant hypothesis” for explaining population cycles?

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Rodent population cycles are observed in highly seasonal environments. As most rodents are herbivorous, the availability and the quality of their food resources vary greatly across seasons. Furthermore, it is well documented that herbivore densities have a measurable effect on vegetation and, conversely, that vegetation dynamics can influence ...

Seed dispersal by brown bears promotes trophic facilitation in a human‐dominated landscape

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Seed dispersal is a key ecological process with wide‐ranging implications for plant population dynamics, forest regeneration, and biodiversity maintenance. The role of carnivores and omnivores as endozoochorous dispersers is increasingly acknowledged.

Indirect effects of herbicide use on the Bombus community mediated through changes to shrub and forb communities

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Pesticides are used around the world to control and suppress undesirable species. In many cases the direct effects of pesticides are well understood and characterized, describing how environments are likely to be altered. However, these direct effects are likely to cause other species to respond to ecosystem alteration. For example, herbicides

Major Components of Epicuticular Wax From Fruit of the Canadian Prairies: Saskatoon Berry (Amelanchier alnifolia), Canadian Dwarf Sour Cherry (Prunus × kerrasis), Haskap (Lonicera caerulea), and Red Twinberry (Lonicera utahensis)

European Journal of Lipid Science and Technology, Volume 128, Issue 5, May 2026.
Composition of chloroform extractable surface wax from fruit was determined by GC and GC/MS. The major components of Saskatoon berry wax were nonacosan‐10‐ol and nonacosane. Canadian sour cherry wax was enriched in the pentacyclic triterpenoids and haskap in nonacosan‐10‐ol and nonacosan‐5,10,‐diol. Red twinberry wax contained triterpenoids.

Co‐Encapsulation of Probiotics With Multiple Bioactives: Stability and Viability of Probiotics

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The global demand for functional food containing probiotics is rapidly increasing due to their well‐documented health benefits. However, maintaining the stability and viability of probiotics during processing, storage, and gastrointestinal transit (GIT) remains a persistent challenge.

Natural Products as the Modulators of Gut Microbiota: A Pool for the Development of New Treatment Against Obesity?

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
Natural compounds regulate gut microbiota by improving microbial balance and increasing probiotics, which boost short‐chain fatty acid production to alleviate insulin resistance and inflammation. Additionally, they stimulate appetite‐suppressing hormones through bile acid signaling, while inhibiting pathogenic bacteria to repair intestinal barrier ...
