We present the largest tropical tri‐trophic plant–gall–parasitoid network documented to date, assembled from lowland rainforest in Papua New Guinea. The network reveals strikingly high specialisation, in addition to gall traits such as apparency shaping parasitoid richness.

New metabolites with antibacterial activity from the marine angiosperm Cymodocea nodosa
Four new metabolites (1–4) have been isolated from the organic extract of the seagrass Cymodocea nodosa, collected at the coastal area of Porto Germeno, in Attica Greece. Compounds 1 and 2 belong to the structural class of diarylheptanoids, which have been found only once before in marine organisms [Kontiza, I.; Vagias, C.; Jakupovic, J.; Moreau, D ...

This study leverages complete plastid and nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences from 40 species to resolve the complex phylogeny and organellar genome evolution of the diverse plant tribe Elatostemateae. The analysis uncovered significant plastome structural variations, including novel inversions and a rare mitochondrial DNA integration event, and identified

Stable isotopic evidence for increased terrestrial productivity through geological time
Marine life on Earth is known back to the Archean Eon, when life on land is assumed to have been less pervasive than now. Precambrian life on land can now be tested with stable isotopes because living soil CO2 is isotopically distinct for both carbon and

We assembled and characterized the complete chloroplast genome of Dioscorea hypoglauca, a medicinally important yam species from southern China. The 153,219 bp genome exhibits a typical quadripartite structure, containing 129 genes (84 protein‐coding, 37 tRNA, and 8 rRNA genes), and comparative analyses with 22 other Dioscorea species revealed dynamic ...

Late Cretaceous-Paleocene foraminiferans and palynomorphs were recovered from the upper section of the Djega outcrop in the Rio del Rey Basin. Only a few planktonic foraminiferan species of the genera Heterohelix and Hedbergella were recovered among an ...

This study notes that genomic‐level investigations of Rhodobryum laxelimbatum remain extremely limited. The mitochondrial genome assembled in this experiment, together with its comparative analysis against the chloroplast genome, offers key evidence to clarify organelle‐genome evolutionary patterns in Rhodobryum and to unravel the genetic traits and ...

We report the first discovery of wild double‐flowered populations of the alpine dwarf shrub Rhododendron nivale on the eastern Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau. Two geographically isolated populations (> 800 km apart) show nearly identical stamen petaloidy and floral modifications in similar harsh high‐altitude habitats, suggesting possible parallel evolution ...

Study of Brominated Flame Retardants in Irish Farmed Salmon [PDF]
The Marine Institute (MI) undertakes monitoring and research relating to contaminants and chemical residues in Irish fisheries products, and works with key agencies such as the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) to ensure a high level of consumer ...
