Beyond Hard Parts: Metabarcoding Advances Dietary Resolution in Threatened Amazonian Elasmobranchs

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Elasmobranchs are highly vulnerable and are considered one of the most threatened vertebrates worldwide. Insights into diet can improve conservation measures. The bias of traditional morphological methods towards taxa with distinctive hard parts makes metabarcoding analysis a complementary tool to assess diet composition. Here, we analysed the

The Power of Narrative: Semiotic Violence in Anti‐Gender Messages Online

Journal of Community &Applied Social Psychology, Volume 36, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Anti‐gender campaigns frequently use the term ‘gender ideology’ to mobilize against progressive gender ideas. What are the dominant narratives about gender displayed by anti‐gender campaigns and to what extent are these messages characterized by semiotic violence?

Phylogenetic and Population Genetic Analyses Reveal Patterns of Divergence Among Isolates of Ceratocystis manginecans

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Isolates considered broadly as Ceratocystis manginecans have long presented taxonomic challenges due to minimal morphological differences, interfertility and varied species concepts. By analysing seven gene regions, 16 SSR loci, and representative morphological traits across isolates from diverse hosts and regions, we identified two genetically ...

Leaf Litter Leachate Limits Fungal Pathogen Growth but Not Amphibian Infection

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Terrestrial leaf litter can have direct effects on aquatic organisms. We found that leaf litter leachates can have direct negative effects on a fungal amphibian pathogen (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis), but these effects did not translate to large changes in infection.

A Continuum of Biodiversity: Revealing Marine Tropical Fish Diversity From Intra‐ to Interspecific Variation Through Environmental DNA

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
This study applies eDNA metabarcoding on conserved and hypervariable mitochondrial markers to assess species diversity in Caribbean marine fishes and population haplotype diversity in grunts. By standardizing biodiversity monitoring across scales, eDNA provides a unified understanding of the processes generating diversity patterns from populations to ...

Practices, barriers, and opportunities for dietitians‐nutrionists in critical care in Latin America: A cross‐sectional study

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 582-592, May 2026.
Abstract Background Dietitians–nutritionists (DNs) play a key role in intensive care units (ICUs), yet their scope of practice varies across settings. This study aimed to describe the professional practices of DNs working in ICUs in Latin America and to identify factors associated with their level of professional activity.
