Traditional Respiratory Remedies From Anatolia: Ethnobotanical Insights and Bioactive Properties

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Respiratory disorders, ranging from acute viral infections such as influenza and bronchitis to chronic inflammatory conditions including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, emphysema, and pneumonia, represent a major global health burden, affecting millions annually. Traditional Anatolian folk medicine has long relied on plant‐based

Delivering Proteins and Enzymes to Solid Tumors Through the Development of Stimuli‐Responsive Nanocarriers

open access: yesChemNanoMat, Volume 12, Issue 6, June 2026.
Stimuli‐responsive strategies to achieve controlled release of protein‐based therapeutic agents into solid tumors. Proteins, enzymes, and peptides have long been recognized as valuable therapeutic agents, particularly in oncology. However, their complex chemical structures render them more sensitive than smaller chemotherapeutic drugs.

Wilting wildflowers and bummed‐out bees: Climate change threatens US state symbols

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1832-1851, June 2026.
Abstract Species designated as state symbols in the United States carry cultural importance, embody historical heritage and maintain long‐standing linkages to Indigenous traditions. However, they are threatened by climate change and even face the risk of local or global extinction.

Australian Mistletoe‐Host Leaf Resemblance: Support for Eco‐Physiological Convergence Rather Than Disperser‐ or Herbivore‐Driven Mimicry

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Presently, there are three main hypotheses to explain why the leaves of many Australian mistletoes resemble their hosts. The eco‐physiological convergence hypothesis suggests that mistletoes must manage their physiology, especially their water relations, to match those of the host, to avoid killing themselves or the host branch they have ...

Disproportionate Declines in Ground-Foraging Insectivorous Birds after Mistletoe Removal. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Insectivorous birds have been recognized as disproportionately sensitive to land-use intensification and habitat loss, with those species feeding primarily on the ground exhibiting some of the most dramatic declines.

Contribution of privately protected areas to the conservation of a threatened woodland bird community

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Legally protecting areas of habitat is a common action for the conservation of threatened species and communities. However, protection on public land alone is inadequate to conserve many species and ecosystems. The inclusion of privately protected areas within the protected area network provides one mechanism to address this shortfall.

Ecological drivers and phylogenetic patterns of leaf minimum conductance variability in vascular plants

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 6, Page 3716-3731, June 2026.
Summary Stomatal closure prevents significant water losses during drought events. Yet, leaves are not perfectly hermetic and dehydration ensues through residual water losses, known as minimum conductance (gmin), which is highly relevant since it informs on the water depletion dynamics under stress.

Immunopotentiation by Natural Extracts: Mechanisms and Applications in Influenza Vaccine Adjuvant Development

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Natural Extracts as Candidate Influenza Vaccine Adjuvants. Seasonal influenza vaccines face limitations due to viral mutations and low efficacy in vulnerable populations. Traditional adjuvants often have safety or immune‐activation constraints, leading to increased interest in natural extracts from plants, marine organisms, and fungi.

Multispectral vs. RGB UAV Imagery for Detecting Mistletoe (Viscum album) in Scots Pine Forests: Identifying the Most Informative Vegetation Indices

open access: yesRemote Sensing
The aim of this study was to examine the potential of multispectral imaging derived from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for detecting the spread of mistletoe (Viscum album ssp.
