A Single Amino Acid Substitution in CspA Increases Germination Sensitivity and Broadens Bile Salt Germinant Specificity in Clostridioides difficile Spores

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 6, June 2026.
In reservoir‐associated RT033 strains, we observe a natural rewiring of spore germination that lowers the activation threshold and broadens bile‐salt specificity, enabling germination at low germinant levels and in response to typically inhibitory bile‐salts common in animal hosts.

Life‐History and Landscape Context Shaping the Spatial Genetic Structure of the Migratory Amazonian Fish Prochilodus nigricans

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Neotropical migratory fish Prochilodus nigricans plays a critical ecological and socioeconomic role in the Amazon basin. Nevertheless, little is known about its populations and the genetic diversity pattern of the species. In light of this, the current study investigates the spatial genetic structure and diversity of P.

Nonapeptide molecular evolution during the adaptive radiation of Tanganyika cichlids

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 38, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Oxytocin (OT) and vasotocin (VT) are evolutionarily conserved nonapeptides that regulate a wide range of physiological and behavioral processes in vertebrates. Their receptor families have undergone gene duplications that facilitated functional diversification throughout vertebrate evolution.

Not Just a Matter of Space: Integrating Ecological Niche Modeling With Genotype‐Environment Associations Suggests High Maladaptation Risks Under Climate Change for a Microendemic Malagasy Frog

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
We integrate ecological niche modeling and genotype‐environment association analyses to jointly assess species responses to climate change in terms of dispersal potential and genetic adaptive capacity, and to estimate maladaptation risk under future scenarios in a microendemic Malagasy frog (Mantidactylus bourgati). ABSTRACT Climate change is impacting

Determinants of Cow's Milk and Plant‐Based Milk Substitutes Consumption: Cross‐Cultural Study of Portuguese and Irish Young Adults

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Milk production has declined in Europe, while plant‐based milk substitutes (PBMS) gain popularity, especially among young adults. While previous works assessed PBMS consumption and perceptions, limited evidence compares the motives underlying cow's milk and PBMS consumption, particularly across cultural contexts. This study aimed to assess the

Contrasting Reproductive and Early Life‐History Strategies in Recently Diverged Octocoral Species (Paramuricea spp.)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
The two color morphs of the Iberian–Atlantic Paramuricea complex show little genetic divergence, and their species boundaries have remained unclear. By analyzing gametogenesis, spawning timing, fertilization environment, and early life‐history traits, we reveal strong prezygotic barriers and divergent developmental and dispersal strategies between the ...

ChloroScan: Recovering Plastid Genome Bins From Metagenomic Data

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Genome‐resolved metagenomics has contributed greatly to discovering prokaryotic genomes. When applied to microscopic eukaryotes (protists), challenges such as the high number of introns and repeat regions found in nuclear genomes have hampered the mining and discovery of novel protistan lineages.

Integration of epigenetics into ecotoxicology: insights and fundamental research needs

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 826-847, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Epigenetics refers to heritable changes in genome function that occur without direct alterations to the DNA sequence. A multitude of environmental contaminants can influence the epigenetic marks of a genome. Changes of epigenetic marks including DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non‐coding RNAs can induce alterations at the gene ...
