Unique Population or Unique Species? Genetic Insights Into the Pygmy Freshwater Crocodiles of Northern Australia

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
There is debate over whether isolated populations of “pygmy” Australian freshwater crocodiles are a unique species. This is a conservation concern as these populations face unique challenges. We found some population differences which support these populations as being ecologically unique and valuable for targeted conservation.

The Complete Chloroplast Genome Sequences of Salvia reflexa and Genome Comparison: Implications for Phylogeny and Plant Invasion

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study reports the complete chloroplast genome of Salvia reflexa and compares it with those of other invasive and non‐invasive Salvia species to explore genomic features associated with invasiveness. The chloroplast genome exhibits a typical quadripartite structure and shows high conservation within the genus, while several hypervariable regions ...

Simulated Range Expansion Suggests Rapid Change in Biotic Resistance to a Range‐Shifting Competitor

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We constructed populations of Lemna minor genotypes sourced from localities near and beyond the range edge of a potential range‐shifting competitor, Spirodela polyrhiza. Following 14 weeks of exposure to low densities of S. polyrhiza, we observed subtle but significant rapid evolution and phenotypic plasticity of functional traits in L.

Reexamining Sexual and Species Recognition in Butterflies: The Partner‐Hazard Space Framework

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Our review found no evidence that butterflies recognize the same sex or their own species. Behaviors previously interpreted as sexual or species recognition are indistinguishable from those interpreted as mate choice. Butterfly interactions can therefore be explained by assuming a sexual‐partner template that elicits mating behavior and a hazard ...

Spatial‐Scale Evolutionary Bias Sheds Light on the Latitudinal Diversity Gradient

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Using Escherichia coli as a model species, our experimental findings reveal that populations in high‐fitness‐gain geographic regions undergo rapid expansion, competitively excluding populations from low‐fitness‐gain regions. This results in adaptive evolution that is biased toward areas with higher fitness potential.

Shared foraging behaviors between hyenas and hominins in the Middle Paleolithic Levant: New evidence from Geula Cave, Israel

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 896-914, August 2026.
ABSTRACT While competition with large carnivores is likely to have shaped Middle Paleolithic hominins' subsistence behavior, palimpsested human and carnivore accumulations render the signal challenging to isolate. This study presents a detailed zooarchaeological and taphonomic analysis of a non‐anthropogenic faunal assemblage from a MIS 5 (~130–80 ka ...

From Oral Candidiasis to Candidemia: A Review of Superficial to Invasive Progression

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
Recent and limited evidence indicates that oral candidiasis can disseminate Candida albicans throughout the body, leading to invasive candidiasis, such as candidemia, a life‐threatening infection. Considering antifungal resistance and global outbreaks of emergent non‐albicans Candida and related yeasts, murine models help understand dissemination ...

INTROGRESSION IN INTERSPECIFIC HYBRIDS OF LILY

Acta Horticulturae, 2002
In order to introduce new desirable characters into the cultivar assortment of lily a range of interspecific crossing barriers has to be overcome. By using various pollination and embryo rescue techniques pre- and postfertilization barriers were overcome and a range of wide interspecific lily hybrids between species and cultivars from the different ...

DEVELOPMENT OF CARICA INTERSPECIFIC HYBRIDS

Acta Horticulturae, 1998
Papaw production in Australia is limited by five major diseases: papaw dieback and yellow crinkle (caused by mycoplasmas); Phytophthora fruit, stem and root rots; black spot (Asperisporium caricae); and papaya ringspot virus-type P (PRSV-P). PRSV-P is the greatest problem for papaya production worldwide and potentially poses the greatest disease threat
