Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1406-1462, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Spatiotemporal Dynamics of the Relative Abundance of Soil Nutrient‐Degrading Enzyme‐Encoding Genes Across Continental US Ecoregions

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study integrates large‐scale soil metagenomic data with environmental variables to map and model the relative abundance of nutrient‐degrading enzyme‐encoding genes across US ecoregions. Machine‐learning predictions reveal strong environmental controls and spatial heterogeneity in microbial functional potential, with notable shifts projected under ...

Genomic and Transcriptomic Insights Into Salinity Tolerance in Dry Pea

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Salinity is a major crop production constraint in dry pea (Pisum sativum L.), making the development of salt‐tolerant varieties essential to improve crop productivity and land‐use efficiency. The genetic mechanisms of salt tolerance in dry pea are largely unknown, and research on salt‐tolerant genes is limited.
