Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.We validated ant‐specific COI metabarcoding primers using in silico, in vitro and in situ analyses, identifying assays that improve ant detection from mock communities, spike‐in tests and soil eDNA. The recommended assays reduce reliance on taxonomic expertise and enable scalable, high‐throughput ant biomonitoring for land‐management applications ...

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.Dragon fruit (pitaya; Hylocereus undatus) is a promising, new high‐value crop in New Zealand. The large nocturnal flowers open for one night and close early in the morning the following day over a 3‐ to 6‐month long flowering period. In dragon fruit's native range, hawkmoths and bats are key nocturnal pollinators, and honey bees visit flowers during ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 385-400, March 2026.Holoendoparasites are extremely rare plants that live entirely hidden inside their hosts, with only flowers and fruits visible. We studied Apodanthes caseariae, found in central and South America, parasitizing Casearia sylvestris. Little is known about its life cycle.

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 3, Page 676-688, March 2026.ABSTRACT Temporary streams are impacted by climate change and other anthropogenic pressures, but fluctuating water levels complicate ecological assessments. Terrestrial invertebrate communities may enable dry‐phase assessments, but their sampling can be resource intensive.

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 2, March 2026.Long‐term (1976–2015) field sign monitoring of brown bears in northern Hokkaido, Japan, yielded 2421 records (feeding signs, tracks, scats) along 9890 km of survey routes. The digitized spatiotemporal dataset provides insights into population dynamics, habitat use, and feeding behavior across a major wildlife management policy shift.

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 790-804, March 2026.Abstract Natural history museums curate billions of insect specimens, representing an unparalleled record of biodiversity. Although large‐scale digitization has expanded access to specimen images, extracting label metadata remains a major bottleneck, typically requiring time‐intensive manual transcription.
