Taxonomic Updates of Thismia pseudomelanomitra (Thismiaceae) Reveal an Old Acquaintance From the Ecuadorian Amazon

Feddes Repertorium, Volume 137, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Amazon Basin is home to the world's greatest terrestrial biodiversity, but many plant groups remain poorly studied. One example is the mycoheterotrophic genus Thismia (Thismiaceae), which is notable for its highly specialized floral morphology and ephemeral life cycles, making it difficult to detect in the field and limiting its ...

Scheffrahnitermes ubuntu (Isoptera: Apicotermitinae), Description of a New Termite Using a Collaborative Approach to Address the Wallacean Shortfall

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.
The study of Neotropical Apicotermitinae remains challenging due to the large number of undescribed taxa (Linnean shortfall) as well as the scarcity of distributional data (Wallacean shortfall). Despite recent efforts to reduce the first one, the second remains an even more significant challenge.

Rickettsiales in South America: A Systematic Review of Their Molecular Detection and Distribution in Arthropods and Vertebrates

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Bacteria of the order Rickettsiales comprise a diverse group of obligate intracellular microorganisms that are globally distributed and highly prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions. In South America, these bacteria have been associated with arthropod vectors, such as ticks, fleas, mites, lice, and certain dipterans, as well as with a ...

Shifting Seas, Changing Diets: Evidence of Temporal Dietary Shifts in Marine Megafauna in Southern Brazil (2017–2023)

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the dietary dynamics of marine megafauna is essential for interpreting ecological interactions and assessing environmental changes in marine ecosystems. We analysed temporal trends in the diets of eight megafaunal species, comprising marine mammals, seabirds, and sea turtles.

A proximodistal gradient in bone structure and mechanics in the wings of Seba's short‐tailed bat, Carollia perspicillata

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 5, Page 1422-1432, May 2026.
Abstract Bats possess the remarkable ability to fly, and with this, distinctive wing bone properties. We investigated the structural, mechanical, and compositional properties of the humerus, radius, metacarpals, and proximal and middle phalanges of Carollia perspicillata, an approximately 15 g fruit‐eating bat native to the Neotropics.
