Cryptobenthic reef fishes may not be safe from invasive lionfish (Pterois spp. Oken, 1817)

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 109, Issue 4, Page 2488-2497, October 2026.
Abstract Lionfish (Pterois spp.) are hypothesized to negatively influence cryptobenthic reef fish assemblages through predation. We evaluated these potential effects on Caribbean reefs in Costa Rica and tropical reefs in Brazil. Brazil provided a reference condition for cryptobenthic assemblages prior to lionfish invasion, while the Costa Rica sites ...

Phytotoxic Effects of Ethanolic Extracts of Magonia pubescens A.St.‐Hil. (Sapindaceae) on the Germination of Emilia sonchifolia (L.) DC. Seeds

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 9, September 2026.
Ethanolic extracts from Magonia pubescens exhibit concentration‐dependent allelopathic activity against Emilia sonchifolia. Leaf extracts strongly inhibit seed germination and seedling growth, surpassing glyphosate under the tested conditions, whereas intermediate concentrations stimulate germination, indicating hormesis.

Gymnosperms from the Lower Cretaceous Crato Formation (Brazil). I. Araucariaceae and Lindleycladus (incertae sedis) [PDF]

Fossil Record, 2004
Fossil conifers from the Early Cretaceous, most likely late Aptian, Crato Formation were studied. The excellent preservation of several of those fossils allowed detailed investigations of the leaf epidermis by light microscope (LM) and by scanning ...

Lantana delicata (Verbenaceae), a New Species From Brazil, and Additional Updates Within the Genus

Feddes Repertorium, Volume 137, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT In this study, we present some novelties in Lantana, a taxonomically complex genus of Verbenaceae. These include (1) the description of L. delicata, a new species from Brazil; (2) the lectotypification of the name L. magnibracteata; and (3) the recognition of L. fucata f. albiflora, previously regarded as a synonym of L.

Fossils as cultural heritage: Scientific, commercial and legislative issues

Geology Today, Volume 42, Issue 5, Page 263-272, September/October 2026.
Fossils are among the principal sources for understanding the history of life through ‘Deep Time’ and can inform projections of biotic responses to environmental change. Despite a widespread recognition of the scientific, historical and communication significance of fossils in our culture, their role as part of our cultural heritage is still far from ...

Evidence for the Induction of Anxiolytic‐Like Behavior and Memory Preservation by (+)‐Dihydrocarvone Through Studies in Adult Zebrafish and In Sílico

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 8, August 2026.
(+)‐Dihydrocarvone exhibited anxiolytic‐like and memory‐preserving effects in adult zebrafish. Behavioral assays showed reduced anxiety and improved cognitive performance, while in silico docking revealed strong interactions with GABAergic and cholinergic targets. These findings suggest (+)‐dihydrocarvone as a promising neuroactive compound for anxiety

Inside a duck‐billed dinosaur: Vertebral bone microstructure of Huallasaurus (Hadrosauridae), Upper Cretaceous of Patagonia

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 7, Page 1702-1712, July 2026.
Abstract Dinosaurs evolved a unique respiratory system with air sacs that contributed to their evolutionary success. Postcranial skeletal pneumaticity (PSP) has been used to infer the presence of air sac systems in some fossil archosaurs. While unambiguous evidence of PSP is well documented in pterosaurs and post‐Carnian saurischians, it remains absent
