Coevolution and Functional Effects of Endosymbiotic Rickettsia in Leptocybe invasa Fisher & LaSalle (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) Across China

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Two distinct lineages of L. invasa and the dominant endosymbiont, Rickettsia, was identified, followed by an analysis of its infection density across various developmental stages and tissues of L. invasa. Furthermore, two distinct strains of the Rickettsia endosymbiont were detected, and the phylogenetic relationships between these strains and their L.

Pleistocene Climate Oscillations and Geographic Barriers Shaped the Phylogeographic Structure of Anaplecta omei (Blattodea, Blattoidea, Anaplectidae) in Southern China: Evidence From Mitochondrial Genomes

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We used 97 complete mitochondrial genomes from 24 distinct geographic populations to characterize the genetic diversity, population structure, and evolutionary history of Anaplecta omei. Our results indicate that tectonic uplift, Pleistocene climate oscillations, and complex topography have jointly shaped the phylogeographic diversification and ...

Allometry of Ingestion Among Habitat Mimicking Praying Mantises

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We investigate the allometry of ingestion among habitat mimicking praying mantises. We found strong relations to body size, but not camouflage. We compare our results to handling time in other predatory groups. ABSTRACT Ingestion is the process of consuming a resource and is a component of an organism's handling time, which can limit the acquisition of

Gulf Coast canids: A wetland coyote ecotype shaped by red wolf introgression

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Morphology and behavior are fundamental components of ecology because phenotypic variation influences the distribution and abundance of species, interspecific interactions, and community assemblages. Hybridization and introgression can increase phenotypic variation when novel traits accompany new genetic variants.

Uncovering the Key Factors Influencing Phytochemical and Phytopharmacological Properties During Medicinal Plant Processing

open access: yeseFood, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
From farm to pharma, this review details the engineering of quality in medicinal plants through a science‐driven approach: it first elucidates how genetic and environmental factors inscribe the plant's phytochemical and phytopharmacological profile before harvest, and then dissects the postharvest techniques and technologies—chemical and thermal pre ...
