Host–Parasite Interaction Networks of Helminths of Sigmodontine Rodents in Two Different Areas of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

open access: yesEcological Research, Volume 41, Issue 3, May 2026.
Two helminth‐rodent networks were analyzed for two distinct areas. Network modularity, nestedness, and degree of specialization were calculated for each network. Higher network modularity than nestedness and high network specialization were observed in both networks, suggesting functional and/or taxonomic specialization between helminth species and ...

Drivers and Consequences of Size Declines in Unicells

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.
Previous syntheses concluded that metabolic allometric scaling is unusually steep (> 1) in unicells but here we show that this steepness is an artefact of laboratory studies that confound cell size with cell population density. Once this density effect is accounted for, metabolic scaling is ~0.86 in unicells.

The Role of Chemistry Across Disciplines From Humanities to Life Sciences in Understanding Complexity and Emergence

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 17, 20 April 2026.
This study explores the origins of life by linking prebiotic chemistry, the emergence of information‐carrying molecules such as RNA and proteins, and philosophical questions about consciousness. The study emphasizes the role of molecular evolution in the Central Dogma and provides insights into the chemical origins of biology and the basis of life's ...

Stochastic Forces in Microbial Community Assembly: Founding Community Size Governs Divergent Ecological Trajectories

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.
The processes driving community assembly are broadly categorised into deterministic and stochastic ones. With a multi‐replicated experimental design, we quantified the extent to which stochasticity at initial stages of community assembly could drive divergence into alternative ecological trajectories.

Recombination suppression in plant adaptation and speciation

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 4, Page 2061-2077, May 2026.
Summary Recombination suppression is increasingly recognized as an important facilitator of genomic divergence and speciation, especially under ongoing gene flow. In plants, however, the broader evolutionary consequences and the mechanisms by which recombination suppression arises and spreads are still incompletely understood, reflecting the inherent ...
