Tandem Duplication‐Driven Neofunctionalization of UDP‐Glycosyltransferases Shapes the Diversification of Triterpenoid Saponins in the Cucurbitaceae

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 51, 14 September 2026.
We present a chromosome‐level genome assembly of Siraitia grosvenorii and, through comparative genomics, uncover a conserved UGT73 tandem array driving triterpenoid saponin diversification in Cucurbitaceae. Crystalized SgUGT73AM30 further reveals the regioselectivity mechanism underlying its catalytic activity.

Incomplete climate‐driven peripatric speciation in Moehringia sect. Moehringia (Caryophyllaceae) in the European Alps

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Premise The origin of endemic species in the European Alps is commonly attributed to the climatic oscillations of the Quaternary. Moehringia sect. Moehringia, with 12 of 15 species endemic to the Alps and mostly restricted to well‐known glacial refugia, is a prime system for investigating the diversification of a lineage originating in the ...

Austrocedrus from the Late Cretaceous of Antarctica and its implications for the early evolution of southern cypresses (Callitroideae, Cupressaceae)

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Premise The modern distribution of the southern cypresses, Callitroideae (Cupressaceae), reflects a classic Gondwanan distribution. The initial diversification of Callitroideae is estimated to have occurred during the Cretaceous, yet fossils from this period are rare, hampering our understanding of its early evolutionary history.

The relationship between form and function of the carnivore mandible

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2487-2506, September 2026.
Abstract Dietary morphology diversified extensively in Carnivoraformes (living Carnivora and their stem relatives) during the Cenozoic (the last 66 million years) as they evolved to capture, handle, and process new animal and plant diets. We used 3D geometric morphometrics, mechanical advantage, and finite element analysis to test the evolutionary ...

Sedimentology and geochemistry of the recent sediments of the river system on Hurd Peninsula, Livingston Island, Antarctica

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 4, September 2026.
This study investigates the sedimentology and geochemistry of recent sediments from ephemeral river systems on Hurd Peninsula, Livingston Island, Antarctica. These systems are important for understanding sedimentary and geochemical processes in unique polar environments.

Flexural bulges and foredeep basins: Dynamic tectonic control on shifting depocentres and condensed facies, Upper Cretaceous (Santonian), Western Canada Foreland Basin

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 4, September 2026.
Allostratigraphically defined mudstone packages show marked along‐strike thickness variation, interpreted to be related to shifting thrust activity in the orogen; loading cycles lasted about 750 kyr. Close to the orogen, the forebulge is mantled by shelly sandstone whereas far from the orogen, the forebulge is typified by organic‐rich mudstone ...

Detrital zircon ages, Lu‐Hf isotopes of zircon grains, Sr‐Nd isotopes on whole rock and geochemistry of Campanian turbidites in the Eastern Pontides (NE Türkiye): A provenance assessment and Gondwana records

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 4, September 2026.
These findings confirm that the Campanian‐aged Bozbent Member turbiditic sequence in the Eastern Pontides was deposited in an extensional fore‐arc basin and therefore exhibits the petrographic and geochemical characteristics of passive margin sandstones.
