Long‐term trends in parasite diversity and infection levels: approaches and patterns

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1120-1142, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Parasites exist in every ecosystem, affecting nearly all organisms and playing a complex role in human societies. On the one hand, they contribute substantially to biodiversity and support ecosystem stability by performing essential ecological functions.

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 ...

A New Species of Myriopus (Heliotropiaceae) From Brazil

Feddes Repertorium, Volume 137, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT A new species of Myriopus (Heliotropiaceae), Myriopus chrysocalyx J.I.M. Melo & L.G. Sá, hitherto recorded for the Brazilian Northeastern is described and illustrated. Myriopus chrysocalyx can be readily recognized by its branches strigose to villous, and, mainly, for presenting leaf blade chartaceous to subfleshy, congested inflorescences, a ...

Riparian Restoration Improves Physical Habitat but Not Ecosystem Functioning to Reference Levels in Urban Neotropical Streams

International Review of Hydrobiology, Volume 111, Issue 1, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Urbanization modifies stream ecosystems through changes in land use and water quality, with particularly understudied effects in tropical regions. This study evaluates how the conservation status (reference, restored, and impacted) influences nutrient enrichment and organic matter decomposition—key indicators of ecosystem function—across five ...
