Specialized Feeding Behavior of an Endangered Primate Enhances Forest Health in China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
The endangered black‐and‐white snub‐nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus bieti) exhibits a specialized diet on the lichen Usnea longissima. We proved that the U. longissima is harmful to trees and the monkey mitigates overgrowth of the lichen, as well as promotes its regeneration to maintain population, thereby promoting ecosystem health and resilience.

Reevaluation of the phylogenetic relationship between Mobilid and Sessilid peritrichs (Ciliophora, Oligohymenophorea) based on small subunit rRNA genes sequences [PDF]

, 2006
Based on morphological characters, peritrich ciliates (Class Olygohymenophorea, Subclass Peritrichia) have been subdivided into the Orders Sessilida and Mobilida.

Revealing the Physiological Patterns of Dinoflagellates in North‐Eastern Adriatic Phytoplankton

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Using metatranscriptomics, we have described the annual taxonomic and functional succession of the phytoplankton community in the north‐eastern Adriatic Sea, taking into account the effects of environmental factors on succession. The results obtained in this way represent the first comprehensive physiological characterisation of the phytoplankton ...

Intestinal Parasites of Zoonotic Significance in Human and Domestic Animals in a Rural Setting in Nepal

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
Intestinal parasites are shared among humans and domestic animals. Rural setting is critical to enhance parasite zoonosis in Nepal. ABSTRACT Intestinal parasitic (IP) species with zoonotic significance are major public health issues, mostly prevalent in developing countries, leading to high morbidity and mortality. The present study aimed to assess the

Characterising Soil Eukaryotic Diversity From NEON Metagenomics Datasets

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Belowground eukaryotic diversity serves a vital role in soil ecosystem functioning, yet the composition, structure, and macroecology of these communities are significantly under‐characterized. The National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) provides publicly available datasets from long‐term surveillance of numerous taxa and ecosystem ...

Evaluating Probe Design for Phylogenomics Across Taxonomic Scales: First Steps for Applying Ultraconserved Elements in an Understudied Class (Mollusca: Polyplacophora)

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Ultraconserved elements (UCEs) have become a powerful tool for phylogenomics, but probe sets optimized for one lineage often perform inconsistently when applied in others. Here, we designed and tested new UCE probe sets derived from both genome and transcriptome data of an understudied molluscan class, Polyplacophora (chitons).

Morphology and divisional morphogenesis of brackish water ciliate Novistrombidium rufinoi sp. nov. (Ciliophora: Oligotrichia) from Brazil [PDF]

, 2016
The strombidiid ciliate Novistrombidium rufinoi sp. nov. is described from observations on live and protargol-impregnated specimens. The organisms were isolated from samples of slightly brackish water from Cabiúnas Lagoon, located in Parque Nacional da ...
