Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Marine animal forests (MAFs) are benthic ecosystems dominated by vertically structuring filter‐ and suspension‐feeders. As terrestrial forests, they are considered biodiversity hotspots, forming canopies, serving as a refuge, nursery, reproduction and feeding shelters for many species.

Linking Superoxide Production and Scavenging in Plant Development
Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 2048-2068, April 2026.ABSTRACT Due to their strong oxidizing potential, rapid membrane permeability, and high reactivity, reactive oxygen species (ROS) play essential roles in plant development and stress responses. Superoxide (O2•‐) is a primary product of molecular oxygen reduction and a crucial source of hydrogen peroxide, representing a ROS species of substantial ...

OsAux1 is required for nutritropism in rice roots
The Plant Journal, Volume 125, Issue 5, March 2026.SUMMARY Nutritropism is a directional root growth response to nutrient gradients, and rice (Oryza sativa L.) roots show nutritropism toward sources containing ammonium. Here, we report characterization of an EMS‐mutagenized rice plant that shows a complete defect in nutritropism.

Gradients of Aliveness and Engineering: A Taxonomy of Fungal Engineered Living Materials
Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 5, 22 January 2026.This paper explores the potential of fungal engineered living materials (ELMs), examining fungal biology and growth mechanisms, which underpin their development. It presents a classification framework based on aliveness, scaffold composition, and engineering degree. Unique properties such as self‐healing, biosensing, and bioremediation are highlighted,

Plant Cognition—An Empirical Primer: Evidence, Implications, and Ethics
Philosophy Compass, Volume 21, Issue 1, January/February 2026.ABSTRACT Recent advances in plant biology suggest that plants engage in complex behaviours once thought to require nervous systems. This article surveys the empirical foundations of plant cognition, covering research on goal‐directed movement, decision‐making, anticipatory behaviour, communication, phytoacoustics, and plant neurobiology.

Range Expansion of the Giant Water Bug Lethocerus patruelis (Stål, 1854) in Europe
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.We modeled the expansion of the giant water bug, with a focus on niche dynamics and habitat suitability. Our results show evidence for an ongoing expansion, with strong potential for further spread under future climatic conditions. ABSTRACT Climate change is altering freshwater ecosystems, causing extinctions, range expansions, and facilitating ...

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, Volume 62, Issue 9, Page 2060-2079, November 2025.ABSTRACT Promoting argumentation based on evidence allows students to give meaning to the phenomena observed, enabling the construction of knowledge. Children's argumentative discourse can be activated by appropriate instruction, but there is little information on argumentation at early ages and there is a need for the teacher to understand how to ...

Microbial drivers of root plasticity
New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 1, Page 52-67, October 2025.Summary Soils are highly heterogeneous and dynamic systems, experiencing a constant flow of plant root exudates and moisture fluctuations that affect nutrient distribution, soil physicochemical properties, and microbial metabolisms. Plant roots adjust their development within the soil matrix (growth, branching, root angle, and anatomical features) by ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 9, Page 4158-4174, September 2025.Summary Schizonepeta tenuifolia Briq. (S. tenuifolia) is a traditional Chinese medicinal plant widely used to treat colds, fever and respiratory diseases. Volatile oils including the monoterpenoids limonene, pulegone and menthone are major constituents of S. tenuifolia that determine its medicinal value and consumer popularity.
