Beyond the Paddy Fields: Riparian Reed Beds as Essential Natural Habitat for the Critically Endangered Suweon Treefrog, Dryophytes suweonensis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This figure shows the true habitat type of Dryophytes suweonensis that this paper aims to demonstrate. ABSTRACT The Suweon treefrog (Dryophytes suweonensis (Kuramoto, 1980)), a critically endangered amphibian endemic to the Korean Peninsula, is widely regarded as being closely associated with rice paddies.

Ameliorative Effects of Silymarin on Ovarian Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury via Modulation of Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Pathways

Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, Volume 40, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study investigates the protective effects of SLY against experimental ovarian ischemia/reperfusion (OIR) injury. Findings demonstrate that SLY significantly attenuates oxidative stress and inflammatory response by reducing pro‐inflammatory cytokines and lipid peroxidation while preserving histological tissue integrity and enhancing antioxidant ...

Suppression of soil microbiota rather than neighbours facilitates absinthe Artemisia absinthium invasion in native grasslands

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Many mechanisms can lead to successful plant invasion, but their importance is often context dependent. One such mechanism is allelopathy: chemical inhibition of neighbouring plants. The importance of allelopathy may be mediated by soil microbiota and environmental conditions, and depend upon the species or functional group affected.

Testing optimal defense theory: Root resistance selection in chicory (Cichorium intybus) reduces foliar defense and alters aphid performance and feeding behavior

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 8, Page 7951-7960, August 2026.
Root‐focused resistance in chicory reduces defenses in leaves, impairing root aphids but enhancing foliar aphid performance. Selecting root resistance can create unintended trade‐offs across plant organs. Abstract BACKGROUND Plants are constantly exposed to a wide range of herbivores at both aboveground (AG) and belowground (BG) levels, involving ...
