A step into the shadows: Evolutionary shifts in fruit structure and dispersal strategies in Asian mycoheterotrophic Ericaceae

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1419-1433, September 2026.
This study examines how the fruits of non‐photosynthetic forest plants in the Monotropoideae (Ericaceae) have evolved into the diversity observed today. By analyzing four Asian species, we identified a shift from dry, dehiscent fruits that release seeds into the air to fleshy, berry‐like fruits adapted for animal dispersal.

Edible Insect Allergens: An Emerging Food Safety Challenge

open access: yesSustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 3, September 2026.
Allergic responses to edible insects arise via two main pathways: cross‐reactivity with homologous arthropod allergens and primary sensitization to edible insect proteins, both leading to IgE‐mediated immune activation. ABSTRACT Edible insects are increasingly promoted as sustainable protein sources; however, their allergenic potential remains a ...

The Case for Quantitative Frameworks in Assessing Racial and Ethnic Representation in ELT Materials

open access: yesTESOL Journal, Volume 17, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This position paper addresses a critical methodological gap in research on racial and ethnic representation in English Language Teaching (ELT) materials. Despite decades of criticism regarding diversity in textbooks, researchers have largely relied on qualitative assessments without establishing quantitative frameworks for measuring ...

Transfer of Potentially Toxic Metal(loid)s From Ultramafic Soils in a Tri‐Trophic Food Chain Experiment

open access: yesEcological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.
Potentially toxic metal(loid)s (PTMs) bioaccumulated across a plant‐herbivore‐predator food chain. Irrespective of soil concentrations, female crickets actively selected PTM‐enriched leaves, while predatory mantids showed no developmental impairment. Trophic transfer of PTMs was rather influenced more by a function of intrinsic species traits than by ...

Terminal Filament Bundling Underlies the Development of Ovariole Number Dimorphism Between Queen and Worker Ants

open access: yesEvolution &Development, Volume 28, Issue 3, September 2026.
We trace the formation of the cell structures known to determine ovariole number in the model insect Drosophila melanogaster, called terminal filaments. By investigating the formation of terminal filaments and ovarioles during queen and worker development in ants, we confirm the existence of terminal filament bundling (white arrows) and show that it ...
