A phylogenomic analysis and revised infrageneric classification of Thesium (Santalaceae)

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 75, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract A phylogenomic analysis and revised infrageneric classification of Thesium (Santalaceae) is presented based on targeted enrichment using the Angiosperms353 probe set. This first targeted sequencing study includes 137 samples representing 106 species (approximately 32% of the genus).

Genome‐wide analysis of the AP2/ERF gene family in Rheum officinale Baill.: Evolution and expression profiling during plant development, abiotic stresses, and exogenous hormone responses

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract The APETALA2/ethylene‐responsive factor (AP2/ERF) superfamily plays a central role in plant metabolism, stress responses, and hormone signaling. Rheum officinale Baill. is an important traditional medicinal plant whose roots and rhizomes are rich in anthraquinones and other secondary metabolites.

A public mid‐density genotyping platform for pecan [Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch]

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Pecan [Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch] is the fifth‐largest tree nut in global cultivation, with 80% of production occurring in the southern states of the United States. Despite the economic and health benefits of pecans, there is a lack of genomic tools available to breeders for crop improvement. The pecan breeding community is small,

Spider mite genotypes with higher growth rate suffer more from competition but exert stronger reproductive interference

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 6, Page 1002-1014, June 2026.
Genetic correlations have strong implications for species coexistence and their evolution. Studies addressing this issue generally tackle traits associated with competition for food and those underlying reproductive interference separately, whereas it is clear that the interaction among these is key to understand the ecology and evolution of closely ...

Limnofasciculus delicatus (Coleofasciculaceae, Coleofasciculales), a Novel Mat‐Forming Cyanobacterium From Shenandoah River, Virginia, USA

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
A novel mat‐forming benthic freshwater cyanobacterium, Limnofasciculus delicatus, is described based on morphological, phylogenetic and genomic evidence from the North and South Forks of the Shenandoah River. Although Limnofasciculus delicatus lacks biosynthetic gene clusters associated with the production of known cyanotoxins, it occurs in association

charisma: An R package to perform reproducible colour characterization of digital images for biological studies

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 1703-1718, June 2026.
Abstract Advances in digital imaging and software tools have provided increasingly accessible datasets and methods for analysing colour evolution. Despite the variety of computational packages available, most rely on colour classification before running analyses.

Relationships Between European Wildcats and Domestic Cats in an Area of Sympatry: Exploring Key Conservation Questions on Hybridization and Disease Transmission

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, Volume 29, Issue 3, Page 321-333, June 2026.
We have found evidence of behavioural barriers for both hybridization and disease transmission between European wildcats and domestic cats. This includes hierarchical interspecies exclusion enforced by wildcats, as well as sexual selection exerted by wildcat females.

Speciation History Shapes Patterns of Assemblage Species Richness in Birds

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 6, June 2026.
Speciation is the ultimate source of biodiversity. However, because most species arise in spatial isolation, how speciation shapes patterns of co‐occurring species richness remains unclear. Here we examine how the legacy of speciation affects contemporary biodiversity patterns via a phylogenetic model and show that this build‐up is remarkably slow and ...
