Further fragmentation of Timonius (Rubiaceae): reinstatement of Abbottia based on morphology and molecular sequence data

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 11, November 2026.
The circumscription of the Paleotropical dioecious and species‐rich genus Timonius Rumph. ex DC. nom. cons.has long been based on a restricted combination of morphological features, namely valvate corolla aestivation and drupes bearing multiple, free, single‐seeded pyrenes. Previous studies, focused on different taxonomic problems in tribe Guettardeae,

Extensive Use of Ageing Fence Poles in a Protected Area in South Africa by Reptiles and Birds

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 7, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Formal protected area management often requires fences and roads, and these can have negative impacts on animals. During many visits to Ndumo Game Reserve, in northwestern KwaZulu‐Natal, South Africa, the authors noticed substantial numbers of several species of reptiles and birds using the older fence posts along the southern boundary road ...

Identification and functional analysis of class 3 lipases associated with triacylglycerol metabolism in Nannochloropsis oceanica (Eustigmatophyceae)

Journal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 5, Page 1478-1493, October 2026.
Abstract Microalgae accumulate triacylglycerols (TAGs) as storage lipids in response to nutrient limitation, yet the mechanisms governing TAG turnover remain incompletely understood. In the oleaginous microalga Nannochloropsis oceanica, functional studies of TAG degradation have focused on lipases containing patatin domains, whereas the roles of other ...

Two eDNA Assays to Detect the Sympatric Seahorses Hippocampus hippocampus and Hippocampus guttulatus During Their Northward Range Shifts

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.
Small and well camouflaged fish are difficult to monitor, but they do release DNA into the water (1). These assays allow for targeted monitoring of two European seahorses of conservation concern, using two primers and probe pairs with high specificity (2) and proven detections from the field (3).

Fruit use and fruit processing by euphonias, specialized avian frugivores

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.
Euphonias (Neotropical passerines in the genera Euphonia and Chlorophonia) form the quintessential example of a specialized avian frugivore, combining a high reliance on fruit as food and the restriction of fruit taxa exploited. To understand their specialization, we explored the integration of fruit morphological and nutritional traits with their ...

Short‐term soil responses and site conditions to inverted mounding on peatland linear features in Alberta, Canada

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 7, September 2026.
Abstract Introduction Seismic lines represent one of the most extensive and persistent anthropogenic disturbances in boreal peatlands, limiting forest regeneration and altering key ecosystem functions. Inverted mounding is increasingly applied to elevate planting microsites above shallow water tables, yet evidence on short‐ to medium‐term biophysical ...
