Ectomycorrhizal Fungal Communities Associated With Hopea odorata (Dipterocarpaceae) Planted in Tropical Urban Parks in Singapore

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Members of the family Dipterocarpaceae are ecologically and economically important timber trees, many of which are threatened with extinction. Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi form critical symbiotic associations with this family; however, their diversity and composition in tropical urban environments remain inadequately documented.

Native forest recovery following low‐impact Eucalyptus globulus removal in Galicia: Evidence from a 17‐year chronosequence

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 4, October–December 2026.
This study assessed the recovery of native‐broadleaf woodland after the removal of non‐native eucalypts in Galicia over a 17‐year period. Analysis of plant community composition and soil health indicators demonstrated positive recovery trends. Soil eDNA metabarcoding provided complementary species identification to traditional forest survey techniques.

Mapping and conservation analysis of upper montane evergreen broad‐leaved forest using machine learning and geodata

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 7, October 2026.
Abstract The upper montane evergreen broad‐leaved forest (UMEBLF) provides unique ecological functions but exhibits a highly fragmented spatial distribution. Mapping the suitable habitat of UMEBLF and assessing its conservation status are therefore crucial for regional protection and management of this vegetation. In this study, Yunnan Province, China,

Evolutionary Imprints on the Foliar Elementome: Biogeochemical Niche Differentiation Among Fagus Species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study compared the biogeochemical niches of three Fagus species (F. grandifolia, F. sylvatica, and F. crenata) using foliar nutrient data from 328 sites, revealing distinct elemental compositions and unique nutrient acquisition strategies. Phosphorus and calcium primarily distinguished F. sylvatica, whereas F.

Honey‐Derived Environmental DNA Can Be Used to Retrieve Population Genetic Information Through Microsatellite Analysis: A Case Study Focused on the European Chestnut Tree (Castanea sativa Miller)

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.
Honey‐derived eDNA can be used to assess within‐species genetic variability using microsatellite markers. In this study, honey eDNA provided insights into the population genetic structure of Castanea sativa and yielded geographically informative genetic signatures that may contribute to determining the geographical origin of chestnut honey, thereby ...

A comprehensive checklist of Mediterranean wild edible plants: Diversity, traditional uses, and knowledge gaps

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1616-1633, September 2026.
The use of wild edible plants and the traditional knowledge associated with them are rapidly disappearing across the Mediterranean, with serious consequences for biodiversity, cultural heritage, and regional food security. This study compiles and organizes fragmented information to create the first comprehensive catalogue of these plants across the ...

Dietary and Ranging Behavior of Semi‐Free Ranging Lemur catta and Varecia rubra at Myakka City Lemur Reserve, Florida, USA

Zoo Biology, Volume 45, Issue 5, Page 559-571, September/October 2026.
Betsiboka, a female red ruffed lemur (Varecia rubra) eating Carolina redroot in the Tower forest. ABSTRACT Lemurs are severely threatened due to anthropogenic habitat loss and climate change. Therefore, understanding how lemurs adapt their diets to novel habitats is critically important for maintaining healthy wild populations and effectively managing ...

Urbanization Effects on the Community Structure of Saproxylic Arthropods in Warm‐Temperate Japan

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.
This study examined saproxylic arthropod communities in various landscapes, ranging from large to fragmented urban forests, and compared the structure and composition of these communities. The results showed that communities could be classified into three types based on species composition and that arthropod community types were correlated with forest ...

Sibling species of the Cotesia inducta complex (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) sympatrically parasitising heterogeneous lycaenid larvae associated with ants

Entomological Science, Volume 29, Issue 3, September 2026.
Three sibling parasitoid wasps of the Cotesia inducta (Braconidae) complex attack ant‐associated lycaenid larvae in Japan. Species differ in host range, seasonal host use and feeding habitat. Differences in host‐feeding habitat may contribute to diversification within the Cotesia inducta complex. Abstract Approximately 75% of lycaenid butterfly species

Large‐scale nuclear and plastid phylogenomic analyses inform an updated Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification: APG V

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, Volume 64, Issue 5, Page 845-874, September 2026.
This revision of the APG classification considers the extensive recent analyses of hundreds of nuclear and plastid genes for many angiosperm species. Although previous versions of the APG classification were largely based on uniparentally inherited markers (plastid DNA, largely maternally inherited), there has emerged since APG IV extensive evidence of
