Coronavirus Detection in Bats Captured on the Deforestation Arc of Mato Grosso, Brazil
Zoonoses and Public Health, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Coronaviruses (CoV) are RNA viruses associated with enteric and respiratory diseases and known for their emergence potential in humans and other mammals. CoVs originate from zoonotic transmission, in which bats are natural reservoirs. Previous studies suggest that CoV diversity is positively correlated with bat diversity, whereas anthropogenic

Insights Into the Ecological Role of Pseudomonas spp. in an Ant-plant Symbiosis
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 In the myrmecophytic mutualistic relationship between Azteca ants and Cecropia plants both species receive protection and exchange nutrients. The presence of microorganisms in this symbiotic system has been reported, and the symbiotic role of some fungi ...

Insect‐Derived Bioactives for Glycemic Control and Gut Health: A Review
Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.Insect‐derived bioactive compounds (e.g., peptides, polysaccharides) effectively regulate blood glucose through dual mechanisms: directly inhibiting carbohydrate‐digesting enzymes and glucose transporters, and indirectly modulating gut microbiota to enhance intestinal barrier integrity.

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.We found that plant species identity and soil properties, especially soil phosphorus availability, independently structured arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) community composition in tropical forests across central Panama. We also found that soil nutrient availability may mediate the interaction networks between plants and AMF. ABSTRACT Plant species

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 433-450, February 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Leaf phenology plays an important role in plant life‐history strategies and in determining ecosystem‐level fluxes of carbon and water. In seasonal tropical forests, leaf phenology is highly variable among tree species, but limited quantitative data have hindered our ...
