How many bromeliads are there? History and future perspectives of species scientific discovery in the pineapple family

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
It remains unclear how many plant species are not yet recorded by science. We illustrated the process by which species of the pineapple family in tropical America have been newly described to science to date, and we estimated how many species may still await scientific discovery in this group.

Taxogenomic Characterization and Comparative Genomic Analysis of Hermanozyma buritii sp. nov., f.a., a Yeast Species Isolated From Plants and Soil

Yeast, EarlyView.
Isolation of the novel yeast species Hernanozyma buritii sp. nov. from soil and plant in Brazil, followed by phylogenetic characterization and genome analysis, highlighting its relationship with closely related taxa and genomic features associated with mating, pulcherriminic acid biosynthesis, and iron‐dependent pigmentation.

Freshwater Biodiversity Research in Brazil: Trends from a Systematic Review and Topic Modeling

International Review of Hydrobiology, Volume 111, Issue 2, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Brazil is a megadiverse country that hosts six major biomes and a vast freshwater network. Despite this richness, research on freshwater biodiversity has been heterogeneous across regions, communities, and time, leaving significant knowledge gaps.

Scale‐dependent assembly shapes taxon‐dependent responses of soil microbes to island isolation and area

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 11, November 2026.
The theory of island biogeography (TIB) remains contentious for microbes, as their immense dispersal potential and microscopic size may decouple diversity from classic isolation/area effects. We explicitly tested TIB scaling rules for soil bacteria and fungi across 20 oceanic islands using a rigorous multi‐scale framework that integrated high ...

Can omnivores be considered keystone species? Bears as a study case

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract The functional roles of herbivores and carnivores in ecosystems have been relatively well studied: both can shape ecosystems through strong direct and indirect top‐down controls on other guilds. By contrast, the role omnivores play has been rarely explored, even though their diet spans several trophic levels and potentially has numerous ...

Lizard Endoparasites in Semi‐Arid Areas Under Post‐Disturbance Regimes: Are Monoxenous Species Pioneers?

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding how species respond to environmental stressors is essential to environmental monitoring. We investigated whether time since vegetation suppression and season influenced lizard endoparasite abundance and richness in six sites representing initial (5 years), intermediate (15–20 years) and late (> 35 years) recovery stages in the ...

Flashy Neighbours: Psilocladus mantilleri Zeballos, Nunes, Silveira & Rosa, sp. nov., the First Termitariophile Firefly Larva (Coleoptera: Lampyridae)

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 4, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Fireflies are semelparous beetles whose immature stages are largely unknown. The comparatively few larvae known span diverse ecological niches, such as ground‐dwellers, aquatic (freshwater or marine), semi‐aquatic and arboreal. Psilocladus costae Vaz, Silveira & Rosa, 2020—a bromeliad dweller—is the only species of its genus and subfamily in ...

Species with U‐shaped geographic ranges as an opportunity to study early stages of divergence: The case of Ipomoea microsepala

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Premise The study of the early stages of divergence between populations is crucial to understanding how species and biodiversity originate. Geographic distributions that capture some aspects of the process of divergence, such as those that are markedly U‐shaped, could offer a window to identify systems undergoing incipient speciation, which ...

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2081-2102, October 2026.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...
