Optimizing seeding ratios of field pea–brown mustard intercrops in Atlantic Canada
Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 2, March/April 2026.Abstract Intercropping is a promising approach for ecological intensification that can enhance productivity and agroecosystem services. This study evaluated the agroecological performance of field pea (Pisum sativum) and brown mustard (Brassica juncea) intercropping across seeding ratios (0.5×, 1.0×, and 1.5× the recommended rates; 100 seeds m−2 ...

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Oxalis oulophora, a diploid species closely related to the octoploid Andean tuber crop oca (Oxalis tuberosa), was selected for whole‐genome sequencing to aid in understanding the origins of polyploidy and domestication in oca and its relatives (crop wild relatives).

Seasonal variation in wild pig (Sus scrofa) diet revealed by DNA metabarcoding
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.Using DNA metabarcoding of fecal samples, we investigated the diet of wild pigs at an extensive bottomland hardwood forest ecosystem within Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge in Southern Arkansas. We found that wild pig diet was highly diverse and included at least 74 plant families and 106 genera and 23 species of vertebrates.

Patterns of Tree Species Abundance and Diversity on Urban Sidewalks in Macapá, Amapá, Brazil
Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 2, March 2026.This study presents the first systematic inventory of street trees in Macapá, Northeastern Brazilian Amazon. Results reveal a dominance of exotic and fruit‐bearing species, low tree density, and a replacement of large canopy trees by smaller ones, indicating potential losses in ecosystem services and the need for more biodiversity‐focused afforestation

Dominant Species Drive Biomass and Diversity Responses to Nutrient Inputs
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.In a mesic grassland co‐limited by nitrogen and phosphorus, responses in plant community diversity and particularly of dominant species do not always correspond to responses in aboveground net primary productivity and functional group biomass production.

Weed Research, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.ABSTRACT High weed infestation remains a major constraint on crop productivity for smallholder farmers practising Conservation Agriculture (CA). Fewer, more diverse weeds are desirable to reduce competition and provide ecosystem services. Crop diversification can help, but it is not yet clear which species combinations and layouts are most effective ...

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Rice productivity varies substantially across rice varieties along with judicious nitrogenous fertilizer and weed management (WM) practices. At AFL, Bangladesh Agricultural University, we tested two cultivars of short‐duration drought‐tolerant T. aman (autumn) rice, Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI) dhan66 and BRRI dhan71, and how different ...

International Journal of Food Science, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.The current research investigated effect of in vitro digestion on bioactive compounds and the antioxidant capacity of five underutilized fruits (Amla, Olive, Hog plum, Elephant Apple, and Bilimbi) grown in Bangladesh. In case of fresh extracts, maximum (523.31 mg/100 g fruit weight [FW]) and minimum (45.62 mg/100 g FW) ascorbic acid content was found ...

Ecological Diversity of Summer Maize Weed Species in the Western Mid‐Hills of Nepal
International Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Maize (Zea mays L.) cultivation in the mid‐hills of Nepal is vital for food security but faces significant yield losses due to weed competition. The two‐year (2023–2024) phytosociological study on summer maize was conducted to assess weed diversity and dynamics in randomly selected 40 farmers’ fields of Puranchaur, Dhikidada, Gharmi, and Lamachaur at ...

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 11, Page 3115-3127, November 2025.In conclusion, our results indicate that in addition to landscape changes associated with urbanisation, variations in local microhabitats also influence the flowering phenology and synchrony of C. communis populations. Urbanised landscapes and differences in microhabitats could contribute to the diversification of phenological patterns between ...
