Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.This study assesses the effectiveness of environmental DNA (eDNA) for monitoring the critically endangered Anguilla anguilla and the near‐threatened Salmo salar using quantitative PCR. Active in situ water filtration and passive metaprobe deployment were compared, showing that metaprobes provided greater sensitivity for low‐abundance species, while ...

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.Vitex L. is a pantropical genus of Lamiaceae comprising 209 taxa. Brazil harbors 35 species, representing nearly 50% of the genus richness in the Neotropics, with the Amazon showing the highest richness, followed by the Atlantic Forest and Cerrado domains. Nevertheless, most taxonomic studies of the genus have been conducted in Africa and Asia.

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.Abstract The name Carludovica microcephala, basionym of the type species of Dicranopygium (Cyclanthaceae), has long been attributed to J.D. Hooker (1892), based on plants cultivated at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. A reassessment of nineteenth‐century horticultural literature shows that the name had already been validly published 35 years earlier, in

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1476-1487, August 2026.We show that ant‐mediated seed dispersal components respond differently to local soil conditions and landscape structure in Caatinga agricultural mosaics. Low‐intensity rainfed croplands maintained or enhanced seed removal compared to natural remnants, highlighting how small‐scale agriculture can sustain key ecological processes in human‐modified dry ...

The genetic architecture of leaf vein density and its importance for photosynthesis in maize
New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 1738-1754, August 2026.Vein types in maize leaves. Summary Leaf venation density has significantly increased during plant evolution. Higher densities are observed in angiosperms compared with early land plants, and among angiosperms, recently diverged C4 species have the highest values.

A Comprehensive Taxonomy of Rules for Nuanced Analysis of Governance Systems
Policy Studies Journal, Volume 54, Issue 3, August 2026.ABSTRACT Understanding how institutions shape collective action requires analytical tools that capture the complexity of governance arrangements. Ostrom's typology of rules provides a foundational framework for examining institutional configurations, yet limited specificity in rule types reduces its effectiveness in comparative analysis.
