A Mass Spectrometric Approach: VOC Emissions, Fatty Acid Profile, and Bacteriota Identification of Spider Communities

open access: yesChemistrySelect, Volume 11, Issue 17, 5 May 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents the first integrated analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), fatty acids, and cultivable bacteriota in whole‐body spider specimens, combining HS‐SPME‐GC/MS, GC/MS, and MALDI‐TOF‐MS. A total of 100 spiders from five synanthropic species, Steatoda opiliones, S. bipunctata, S.

Are human‐altered landscapes reshaping carnivore niche spaces in the Trans‐Himalaya?

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 3, May 2026.
Understanding carnivore interactions under growing human pressures is crucial for conservation. We examined spatial and temporal niche structuring among snow leopards Panthera uncia, Himalayan wolves Canis lupus chanco, and red foxes Vulpes vulpes; while also incorporating free‐ranging dogs Canis lupus familiaris as a human‐subsidized mesopredator ...

Experimental lure design reveals the best attractants for increasing detection of multiple mesocarnivores

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 3, May 2026.
Many mesocarnivores have low detection rates that hinder practitioners' abilities to implement effective monitoring strategies. Using olfactory attractants (i.e. lures) may increase detection rates, but variation in effects among species is not well understood.

Gap Analysis of Metabolic Conversions of Off‐Flavors and Antinutrients in Plant‐Based Substrates

open access: yesComprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT To drastically reduce the carbon footprint of the food production chain, a major shift towards alternatives to conventional meat and dairy products is required. The use of plant‐based proteins is a promising route, but it also comes with challenges: Plant‐based proteins often contain antinutritional factors and off‐flavors, which can ...

Dietary RNA: Integration of RNA Data Offers a Potential Paradigm Shift for Molecular Dietary Analyses

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 4, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Just over two decades ago, DNA‐based dietary analysis promised to advance the resolution, sensitivity, and speed with which we could detect and identify trophic interactions. Since then, these approaches have generated a paradigm shift in our understanding across a wide range of natural systems.

Passive environmental DNA sampling: A review of current practices, limitations and future directions for biodiversity monitoring

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1535-1555, May 2026.
Abstract Passive environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling is rapidly emerging as a powerful alternative to active sampling methods (e.g. direct water sampling), with a rapidly growing diversity of tested approaches but little methodological convergence.

Effects of soil physical properties on dung beetle assemblages in pasture landscapes of the Brazilian Cerrado

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 169-181, May 2026.
We assessed the effect of the type of soil texture (loamy sand and sandy loam) and its physical properties on dung beetle species assemblages in a pastureland region of the Brazilian Cerrado. We found a reduction in the total and paracoprid beetle abundances in loamy sand soil. Furthermore, the increase of soil compaction negatively affected the entire

Species Assembly Is Lineage Specific: Phylogenetic Divergent Species Aggregate in Some Lineages but Segregate in Others

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.
Phylogenetic relatedness of co‐occurring species is often used as a proxy for inferring prior assembly processes. However, this approach ignores the possibility that different phylogenetic lineages may have evolved distinct assembly processes. Here, we directly observed assembly processes through changes in the co‐occurrence patterns of 1770 pairs of ...
