Using Nuclear Genomic Data to Address Intractable Relationships and Gene Tree Discordance in an Ancient Group of Gymnosperms (Ephedra, Gnetales)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Low‐copy nuclear genes were used to address the notoriously difficult phylogeny of Ephedra. Additionally, we explored the potential effect of putative paralogy, intra‐locus recombination, and chimeric sequences on phylogenetic estimation. ABSTRACT The evolutionary history of Ephedra L.

Nectar Robbery by Native and Invasive Bumblebees Reduces Floral Rewards but Not Seed Production in Desfontainia fulgens

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
We evaluated nectar robbery by native and invasive bumblebees in the hummingbird‐pollinated shrub Desfontainia fulgens in southern Chile. Nectar robbery strongly reduced nectar standing crop and altered floral visitation patterns, but these proximate effects did not translate into reduced seed production under natural pollination conditions.

Ovulating Female of Nine‐Spined Sticklebacks (Pungitius sinensis) Are Attracted to Substances Derived From Male Kidneys

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 6, Page 545-553, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Male sticklebacks (Gasterosteidae) produce an adhesive protein called “spiggin” in the tubular epithelial cells of their kidneys, which they use to attach plants or plant debris together and build nesting sites. Spiggin is a glycoprotein excreted in urine.

Microtubule Inner Protein CFAP77 Contributes to Sperm Motility and Male Fertility in Mice

open access: yesAndrology, Volume 14, Issue 5, Page 1240-1248, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Sperm motility is essential for male fertility, and its regulation is dependent on the structural integrity of the axoneme. The axoneme consists of a conserved “9+2” microtubule arrangement and is supported by microtubule inner proteins. However, the functional significance of many microtubule inner proteins remains unclear.

Transmission electron microscopy characterisation of Spirulina bioplastics

open access: yesJournal of Microscopy, Volume 303, Issue 1, Page 101-119, July 2026.
Abstract Plastic pollution is impacting global ecosystem health. Bioplastics made from unprocessed biomass, including whole or fragmented tissues, are one potential solution. They are biodegradable and exhibit competitive mechanical performance. Seaweed and microalgae have gained popularity over the last decade as bioplastic feedstocks due to their ...

Enhancing Tolerance to Combined Heat and Drought Stress in Cool‐Season Grain Legumes: Mechanisms, Genetic Insights, and Future Directions

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 3848-3870, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The increasing frequency of concurrent heat and drought stress poses a significant challenge to agricultural productivity, particularly for cool‐season grain legumes, including broad bean (Vicia Faba L.), lupin (Lupinus spp.), lentil (Lens culinaris Medik), chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), grasspea (Lathyrus sativus L.), pea (Pisum sativum L ...
