Nanoplastic Exposure Impairs Host Fitness and Parasite Transmission With Transgenerational Maternal Reproductive Costs in the Daphnia‐Fungal Parasite System

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.
Polystyrene nanoplastics (50 nm) severely reduced the fitness of Daphnia magna infected with the fungal parasite Australozyma monospora, halving parental survival and suppressing reproduction, and they lowered parasite maturation indirectly by killing hosts before transmission rather than by limiting within‐host infection.

Lost and Found: Western Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) Matrix Metalloproteinase 1

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.
Despite considerable overall improvements in the Western honey bee (Apis mellifera) reference genome over the past two decades, some genes are missing in the current reference assembly (Amel_HAv3.1), potentially interfering with the meaningfulness of downstream analyses.

Spotted Patterns of Glass Frogs Can Disguise Imperfections in Transparency to Improve Camouflage

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.
Transparency could be considered the idealized version of camouflage, capable of producing remarkable background matching across heterogeneous microhabitats. However, although examples of highly transparent species indeed exist, transparency is often imperfect in execution, especially in terrestrial animal species.

Can omnivores be considered keystone species? Bears as a study case

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract The functional roles of herbivores and carnivores in ecosystems have been relatively well studied: both can shape ecosystems through strong direct and indirect top‐down controls on other guilds. By contrast, the role omnivores play has been rarely explored, even though their diet spans several trophic levels and potentially has numerous ...

eDNA On the Go: A Direct Comparison of Fixed and Vehicle Mounted Airborne eDNA Sampling Methods for Terrestrial Vertebrate Species Detection

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 6, November‐December 2026.
This study demonstrates that optimizing sampling design is more important than selecting a specific sampling method, and that different airborne eDNA collection approaches should be viewed as complementary tools suited to different field contexts. We propose that car mounted air DNA sampling could be an effective method for large spatial scale, rapid ...

Capsicum chinense as an African traditional vegetable: Culture, resilience, and opportunity

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1978-1988, November 2026.
Capsicum chinense is central to everyday diets, cultural identity, and smallholder livelihoods across Sub‐Saharan Africa, yet remains overlooked in agricultural research and policy. This paper reframes C. chinense as a traditional, climate‐resilient vegetable shaped by centuries of farmer stewardship and cultural selection.

Recent Advances in Microalgae‐Based Functional Coatings and Films for Food Packaging Applications: Opportunities and Challenges

open access: yesPackaging Technology and Science, Volume 39, Issue 11, Page 1377-1396, November 2026.
Microalgae‐derived bioactive compounds exhibit strong antioxidant and antimicrobial properties and can be incorporated into edible coatings to enhance food quality and shelf life. These materials offer sustainable, biodegradable alternatives to conventional packaging, with promising potential for future scalable food applications.
