Contrasting Patterns of Local Adaptation and Adaptive Potential Under Climate Change for Old‐Growth and Planted Stands of Norway Spruce (Picea abies)

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Genetic diversity is a key prerequisite for adaptation to changing environments. Maintaining genetic diversity in forest trees is crucial amid climate change, given their long generation times. Forest management practices can affect the genetic diversity of forest ecosystems through selective felling or reforestation strategies following ...

Genetic Rescue: Latest Advances and Applications

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Genetic rescue is the increase in individual or population fitness caused by new genetic variation. It typically involves the deliberate movement of genetically diverse individuals into small and isolated populations to reduce inbreeding and maladaptation while enhancing evolutionary potential.

Effects of Different Combinations of Sterile and Fertile Thaumatotibia leucotreta on Fruit Infestation and Population Growth Rate

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 2, Page 137-146, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Thaumatotibia leucotreta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is a key phytosanitary pest of citrus in South Africa. The pest damages fruit by burrowing and feeding on the pulp, thus causing yield losses and export rejections. There are several T. leucotreta management strategies, such as orchard sanitation, mating disruption, attract‐and‐kill,

Exploring the genetic diversity of the IPK Medicago germplasm collection using GBS

open access: yesPlant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 345-358, March 2026.
Genotyping‐by‐sequencing of 1234 accessions from the Medicago collection of the Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK) revealed broad genetic diversity across 40 species, providing one of the first genus‐wide insights into relationships between both cultivated and wild species of Medicago.

Scaling up orphan crop research: genebank genetics highlight geographic structure in cultivated cowpea from 10 617 global accessions

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, Volume 125, Issue 6, March 2026.
SUMMARY Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. is a dryland legume crop, providing essential food and nutritional security for millions of people across the semi‐arid tropics, in Africa, Asia and Latin America. However, as a typical ‘orphan crop’, cowpea has long remained underrepresented in global genomic research to support crop improvement. Here, we conducted

Optimal neuromuscular performance requires motor neuron phosphagen kinases

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 5, Page 2027-2059, 1 March 2026.
Abstract figure legend Motor neuron (MN) terminals in fruit flies, mice and humans contain phosphagen kinases, a key enzyme in their energy storage and buffering system. Here we knocked down the primary phosphagen kinase in fruit fly larvae (arginine kinase 1 (ArgK1)) but were surprised to find that MN endurance was unaffected.

AFLP estimation of the outcrossing rate of Spondias tuberosa (Anacardiaceae), an endemic species to the Brazilian semiarid region

open access: yesRevista de Biología Tropical, 2013
The umbu tree (Spondias tuberosa) is one of the most important endemic species to the Brazilian tropical semiarid region. The umbu tree has edible fruits with a peculiar flavor that are consumed in natura or in a semi-industrialized form, such as jams ...
