Rainfall immediately before and after fire promotes long‐term occurrence of a rare, fire‐sensitive passerine

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 5, July 2026.
Abstract Attributes of fire regimes are known to drive habitat suitability for many species in fire‐prone environments. Comparatively little is known about how discrete abiotic conditions (e.g., rainfall events, cumulative rainfall, drought) at the time of fire may affect long‐term (>2 years) post‐fire occurrence. We sought to (a) establish whether the

Benchmarking Metagenomic Pipelines for the Detection of Foodborne Pathogens in Simulated Microbial Communities

Journal of Food Protection
Foodborne pathogens pose a significant public health threat worldwide, despite modern advances in food safety. While molecular detection of pathogens in complex food matrices has gained attention to support tracking and preventing outbreaks, thorough ...

Stoichiometric mismatches between Australian showy mistletoes and their hosts: You are what you assimilate

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Ecological stoichiometry emphasizes that mismatches between the elemental composition of organisms and their resources can shape ecological interactions, evolutionary trajectories, and nutrient cycling. For hemiparasitic plants such as mistletoes, which draw water and nutrients from hosts while maintaining their own photosynthesis, such ...

Haptoglobin concentrations in cows with history of natural bracken fern chronic ingestion [PDF]

Ciência Rural
: Bracken ferns (Pteridium spp.) have been associated with intoxication in cattle and is the cause of bovine enzootic hematuria (BEH) characterized by intermittent hematuria, anemia, and poor body condition.

Strategies for Assessing Post‐Wildfire Geomorphic Resilience in Semiarid Rivers

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 6, Page 1115-1141, July 2026.
ABSTRACT We review and summarize diverse components of a catchment that can be monitored after wildfire to assess the geomorphic resilience of the river corridor in semiarid regions. We distinguish upland portions of river catchments from river corridors.

Environmental improvement and conservation of useful pastures for wild herbivores in a Regional Park on the Apennines mountains

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2010
In order to investigate some effects of the environmental management with faunistic purpose on pastures located on the Apennines mountains, in open areas subjected to bracken fern (Pteridium aqulinum) infestation, samples of vegetation were taken for ...

Unraveling the Drivers of Water Shortage Across Spatial Scales and Sectors in Colorado's West Slope River Basins

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Colorado's West Slope Basins are a critical source of water for the Colorado River, contributing approximately 70% of the inflows to Lake Powell in a typical year. Whether these basins will face intensifying water shortages by mid‐century remains highly debated due to deep uncertainties in future climate conditions, including the possibility ...

Comparing Accuracy and Biases of DNA Metabarcoding, Hybridization Capture, and Metagenomic Sequencing for Quantifying Herbivore Diets

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 5, July 2026.
ABSTRACT DNA metabarcoding using relative read abundance (RRA) is commonly applied to estimate herbivore diet composition, yet its quantitative accuracy remains uncertain. We assessed taxonomic resolution and quantitative performance of RRA from DNA metabarcoding compared to metagenomic sequencing and hybridization capture, using deer scats from ...

The Transcription Factor DPB Confers Antiviral Defence Against Potato Virus X by Modulating MYB‐Dependent Signalling

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study identified that NbDPB confers resistance to potato virus X by directly activating the transcription factor NbMYB, which engages a hormone‐signalling network likely involving jasmonic acid and salicylic acid pathways. ABSTRACT As a transcriptional co‐factor of E2F, DP proteins are typically involved in the regulation of plant cell‐cycle ...
