Comparative genomics of dark septate endophytes: shedding light on the enigmatic lifestyle and biology of DSEs

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Ancestral lifestyle reconstruction across the phylogeny of the 107 analysed fungal genomes. Summary Dark septate endophytes (DSE) are widespread root‐colonising fungi with poorly understood lifestyle and ecological functions. We investigated their genomic traits, sexual reproduction signatures, carbohydrate‐active enzyme (CAZyme) and secondary ...

Genome evolution of Mediterranean olives following DNA repeats diversification

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract The olive tree (Olea europaea L. subsp. europaea) is one of the most representative perennial crops of the Mediterranean Basin, yet the genomic processes underlying its domestication and diversification remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated repeatome variation across 20 accessions, including 11 wild oleasters and nine cultivated ...

Same data, different analysts: variation in effect sizes due to analytical decisions in ecology and evolutionary biology

open access: yesBMC Biology
Although variation in effect sizes and predicted values among studies of similar phenomena is inevitable, such variation far exceeds what might be produced by sampling error alone. One possible explanation for variation among results is differences among

Ten rules for robust taxonomy in ecological datasets

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 5, Page 1741-1749, December 2026.
A workflow for better use and integration of taxonomic‐related information into ecological datasets. Summary Accurate taxonomy, including species identification and naming, underpins ecological inference, yet taxonomic information in ecological datasets is often inconsistently recorded or weakly standardized.

The Single, the Whole, and the Pooled: Implications of Tissue Choice for Stable Isotope Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 9, Page 933-939, November 2026.
ABSTRACT In the exciting era of non‐invasive tissue sampling and data reuse via open access databases, it is increasingly challenging to ensure comparability of sample types for stable isotope analysis in ecology. According to the theoretical predictions about the changes in the stable isotope values between prey and consumers and tissue turnover rates,

Warming and predation drive rapid evolution of ecosystem functioning but not functional traits

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 11, November 2026.
Global environmental change can rapidly reshape phenotypic trait distributions through adaptive and neutral processes. Yet, disentangling their relative contributions remains a major challenge, particularly for traits underpinning ecosystem functioning.

A Conserved Isoleucine Gates the Diffusion of CO and O2 to the Active Site of NiFe CO‐Dehydrogenase

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 44, 26 October 2026.
A combination of protein film electrochemistry and site‐directed mutagenesis shows that isoleucine 563 (numbering of Thermococcus sp. AM4) gates the arrival of both CO and O2 to the active site of the nickel‐iron CO dehydrogenases. Mutations at this position increase the resistance to O2 at the cost of a slower reaction with CO.

Rethinking intensification: Biodiversity‐inclusive management sustains coconut yields

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 2049-2054, November 2026.
Coconut palm expansion in West Africa will shape rural livelihoods and ecosystems. Our findings show that intensive practices reduce beneficial soil fungi and increase pathogens, threatening long‐term productivity. Lower‐intensity management that retains ground vegetation can sustain or boost yields while improving soil health.

Genomic insights into the local adaptation of spontaneous olive trees in the Mediterranean Basin highlight the need for conservation planning in the face of global change

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 2246-2261, November 2026.
The Mediterranean Basin, a major biodiversity hotspot, is highly vulnerable to climate and global changes. Wild olive trees form an essential part of this landscape and hold strong ecological, cultural and socio‐economic significance. By examining how these trees responded to past climatic conditions, this study shows adaptation of olive trees to local

Heightened threats to small woodland caribou populations in Canada and key considerations for their persistence Menaces pesant sur les petites populations de caribou des bois au Canada et considérations essentielles à leur rétablissement

open access: yesWildlife Monographs, Volume 227, Issue 1, November 2026.
Abstract Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus) are one of the most iconic wildlife species in Canada. These large ungulates depend on undisturbed, interconnected assemblages of mature and old‐growth conifer forests for survival, and exhibit life‐history traits typical of K‐selected species (i.e., low reproductive rates, long generation times, and slow ...
