Effects of Body Size and Environmental Region on the Nutritional Value of Small Pelagic Species in the California Current

Fisheries Oceanography, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 722-736, September 2026.
ABSTRACT We evaluated the effects of regional environment and body size on the nutritional traits of five small pelagic species differing in habitat use, feeding behavior, and importance as prey for top predators in the California Current Large Marine Ecosystem (CCLME).

Global population structures and demographic history of Suillus luteus, a pine co‐introduced ectomycorrhizal fungus associated with exotic forestry and invasion

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 5, Page 2964-2979, September 2026.
Global phylogenomic tree and phylogenetic network of Suillus luteus and its closely related species. Summary Human colonization since the 19th century has resulted in the global spread of pines beyond their original northern boreal distribution. Although the introduction history of pines is documented through historical records, little is known about ...

Species Determination Within the Felidae Family Using mtDNA Minibarcoding

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Wildlife forensic analysis frequently deals with highly degraded DNA samples, including those from tanned hides, processed products of traditional Chinese medicine, and specimens stored in preservation fluids. These samples present significant challenges for traditional DNA barcoding due to the difficulty of amplifying sufficiently long DNA ...

Dietary Adaptation in Paranthropus robustus Postcanine Teeth

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 4, August 2026.
Upper premolar enamel thickness in Paranthropus robustus increased significantly over time, especially in the occlusal region. ABSTRACT Objectives Recent studies of Paranthropus robustus crania identified temporal trends in features associated with increased bite force production, coinciding with environmental shifts toward more arid conditions.
