Comparative Valorization of Diverse Food Waste Streams Into Functional ZnO Nanoparticles for Postharvest Pathogen Control

open access: yesChemistrySelect, Volume 11, Issue 31, 17 August 2026.
Due to varying amounts of phytochemical constituents, diverse food waste have shown to differentially mediate the synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles with unique physicochemical properties and antimicrobial performance. In this study, raspberry pomace (RP) amongst other waste produces well‐dispersed nanoparticles with superior overall activity against food ...

Ectomycorrhizal community composition and extramatrical hyphal proportion predict soil carbon stocks at the landscape scale

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2490-2505, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract While fungal composition has been linked to soil carbon at global scales, these patterns are often difficult to disentangle from broad climatic gradients and species range limits. To address this constraint, we tested which aspects of ectomycorrhizal community structure

The role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the competition between invasive and native plants depends on the soil nitrogen form

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2642-2656, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant invasion and nitrogen (N) deposition are escalating global change threats. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are increasingly recognized as critical mediators of plant invasion success, largely through their role in enhancing host nutrient acquisition.

Pinus armandii ectomycorrhizas mobilize aluminium‐bound phosphorus via carboxylates along a subtropical altitudinal gradient

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 8, August 2026.
Ectomycorrhizal roots of Pinus armandii release more carboxylates than non‐mycorrhizal root segments, mobilizing Al‐bound inorganic P. Under the lowest available P conditions, they also secrete more phosphatase, promoting the mineralization of Al‐bound organic P.

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations

open access: yesInsect Science, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1256-1284, August 2026.
This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...
