The roads most traveled: genetic convergence in plant repeated evolution
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Observation of a genotype–phenotype association in a focal lineage (magnifying lens) provides a starting point for predicting homolog reuse during repeated trait evolution. This review suggests that the likelihood that mutations in homologous genes contribute to similar phenotypes in other lineages depends on both mutational effect stability (MES) and ...

Aggregate, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2026.Biological function arises from aggregates rather than from molecules. Comparing biomimetic systems on a common basis reveals three transferable design rules governing hierarchical assembly, interfacial gradients, and stimulus‐coupled anisotropy, and identifies self‐healing and single‐step multiscale integration as properties that do not transfer to ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1476-1499, September 2026.Biodiversity is threatened by human activities, with extinction debt accumulating rapidly. Many of these activities change the connectivity of populations, fragmenting existing population systems or bringing previously isolated populations or species into contact.

Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, Volume 40, Issue 8, August 2026.Graphical abstract depicting the protective role of DEX against MTX‐induced nephrotoxicity. MTX exposure activates NF‐κB, leading to upregulation of TNF‐α and downstream apoptotic mediator Cas‐3, which collectively drive inflammation, apoptosis, and renal tissue damage. Simultaneously, MTX suppresses protective regulators SIRT1, PGC‐1α, NRF2, and HO‐1,

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 933-941, August 2026.Lethal (mortality) and sublethal (fecundity, fertility) effects of the biopesticide Prev‐Am Plus (containing ~6% sweet orange essential oil) were assessed on the tachinid fly Exorista larvarum. Mated females were exposed via contact and oral routes across five concentrations (0.25%–20%) using protocols adapted from Apis mellifera.
