Enemy release: loss of parasites in invasive freshwater bivalves Sinanodonta woodiana and Corbicula fluminea

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Invasive freshwater bivalves harm native species, ecosystems and biodiversity, and incur economic costs. The enemy release hypothesis posits that invasive species are released from enemies during the invasion process, giving them a competitive advantage in the new environment.

Corticosterone Under Experimental Manipulation of Nutrition and Parasite Burden in a Wild Rodent System

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 7, Page 749-758, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Environmental pressures shape survival and life‐history dynamics partly by triggering the release of glucocorticoids, whose short‐term benefits but long‐term costs make it essential to understand what drives their levels. Here, we used an experimental manipulation of two environmental stressors—food availability and parasite burden—to directly

From Oral Candidiasis to Candidemia: A Review of Superficial to Invasive Progression

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
Recent and limited evidence indicates that oral candidiasis can disseminate Candida albicans throughout the body, leading to invasive candidiasis, such as candidemia, a life‐threatening infection. Considering antifungal resistance and global outbreaks of emergent non‐albicans Candida and related yeasts, murine models help understand dissemination ...

Impact of Soilless Growing Media on Growth, Yield, Fruit Quality, and Root‐Knot Nematode Incidence of Cucumber Under Protected Cultivation

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Soilless cultivation has emerged as an effective approach for improving cucumber productivity under protected cultivation by enhancing root‐zone conditions and minimizing soil‐borne constraints. However, the performance of different growing media combinations remains insufficiently understood.

Patterns of Landscape‐Level Spread by Beech Leaf Disease in North America

Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Beech leaf disease (BLD) was first detected in North America in Lake County, Ohio in 2012. The disease is detrimental to beech (Fagus spp.) trees and is caused by Litylenchus crenatae ssp. mccannii, a species of nematode that is likely native to Japan.

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 7, Page 990-1015, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

Towards an integrated molecular understanding of plant hormones

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 2787-2826, August 2026.
This review offers a comprehensive overview of the nine plant hormones, delving into their biosynthesis, transport, signaling and crosstalk mechanisms. Because the complexity of plant hormonal control goes beyond these core elements, additional specific features are discussed. Lastly, this review highlights how fundamental insights drive hormonal‐based

Decoding stress resilience in soybean: Regulatory networks and precision breeding under climate change

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 2838-2868, August 2026.
This review covers recent progress in the understanding of stress‐responsive regulatory networks in soybean and highlights emerging genomic and breeding strategies. Integrating molecular insights and precision breeding will help to accelerate the development of climate‐resilient soybean cultivars.
