Ebenacobius Haran, a new southern African genus of flower weevils (Coleoptera: Curculioninae: Derelomini) associated with dicotyledonous plants

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Taxonomy, 2022
A new genus of derelomine flower weevil (Curculionidae: Derelomini sensu Franz 2006), Ebenacobius Haran gen. nov., is described to accommodate a clade of species morphologically and phylogenetically distinct from other genera in this tribe.

Molecular Genetic Characterization of the Diet of Limestone and Rainforest Langurs

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Using DNA metabarcoding of 419 fecal samples collected over 1 year, we characterized and compared the diets of four Trachypithecus species from rainforest and limestone habitats in Vietnam. Langurs consumed a remarkably high diversity of plants (122–129 genera across 59–73 families), with clear interspecific differences in dietary composition and ...

Dietary Polyphenols as Natural Modulators of NF‐κB Signaling in Inflammation‐Driven Non‐Communicable Diseases: Focus on Cancer

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Dietary polyphenols and phytochemicals suppress NF‐κB signaling. Mechanistically, by inhibiting IκBα degradation and preventing nuclear translocation of p65/p50 complexes, the polyphenols reduce the expression of pro‐inflammatory and pro‐survival genes, thereby decreasing overall cancer cell survival.

Early eco‐physiological responses in a direct seeding experiment: a non‐destructive approach reveals contrasted strategies in tropical tree species

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 5, July 2026.
Abstract Introduction Conservation physiology is a valuable tool for addressing the major challenges of tropical restoration programs. One key issue is the need for non‐destructive methods to study the functional responses of highly threatened species in order to minimize impacts on natural populations.

Role of Local Medium to Large Mammalian Species in Seed Dispersal of Fleshy‐Fruited Invasive Alien Plants in the Montane Grassland Biome of South Africa

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 4, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Fleshy‐fruited invasive alien shrubs are an increasing problem in the grasslands of South Africa, where they alter vegetation and threaten biodiversity. They are predominantly bird‐dispersed in forest systems, but their spread in grassland ecosystems remains understudied, including their dispersal by mammals.

Macrogenetic Alignment in Ecological Strategies Better Interprets Assembly Processes Than Pre‐Determined Functional Groupings

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 6, June 2026.
A comparative macrogenetic framework reveals that standardised landscape‐genomics can identify shared patterns reflecting common histories and assembly processes. We detected convergence in distributional dynamics and delineate three broad patterns and five species groups defined by gene flow and isolation‐by‐distance, highlighting the limitations of ...
