Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.In this study, a new phylogenetic study reclassifies the moth subfamilies Dyopsinae and Thiacidinae. For the first time, Thiacidas postica—the type species of Thiacidinae—was sequenced and shown to belong within Dyopsinae, in the Ceroctena clade. As a result, Thiacidinae is reinstated as the tribe Thiacidini (stat. nov.) within Dyopsinae.

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.

Patterns of Tree Species Abundance and Diversity on Urban Sidewalks in Macapá, Amapá, Brazil
Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 2, March 2026.This study presents the first systematic inventory of street trees in Macapá, Northeastern Brazilian Amazon. Results reveal a dominance of exotic and fruit‐bearing species, low tree density, and a replacement of large canopy trees by smaller ones, indicating potential losses in ecosystem services and the need for more biodiversity‐focused afforestation

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

Distributional patterns of cecropia (Cecropiaceae): a panbiogeographic analysis
Caldasia, 1997 A panbiogeographic analysis of the distributional patterns of 60 species of Cecropia was carried out. Based on the distributional ranges of 36 species, we found eight generalized tracks for Cecropia 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 ...
