Food Web Properties and the Type of Invasive Species Make the Ecosystem Vulnerable to Invasion

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Invasive species have long been acknowledged as potentially severe dangers to native ecosystems. Although some work has also been done with empirical food webs, more information is still needed to shed light on the cascading effects of invasive species in aquatic ecosystems.

The end stage of barrier estuary infill: Insights from Jack Smith Lake, Southeastern Australia

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 5, May 2026.
Infill model for the saline coastal lake estuary, Jack Smith Lake. Abstract Jack Smith Lake in southeastern Australia is an infilled saline coastal lake, disconnected from the ocean by a foredune barrier. This study explores the Holocene infill history of this estuary in order to understand the end‐stage evolution of barrier estuarine systems with ...

Fungal Polysaccharides as Next‐Generation Bioactive: Advances in Structure–Activity Mapping, Mode of Action, and Biotechnological Horizons

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Fungal polysaccharides (FPs) represent a diverse class of bioactive macromolecules widely studied for their nutritional, therapeutic, and biotechnological value. This review synthesizes recent advances (2020–2025) in the structural characterization, biological functions, and translational potential of FPs.

Targeting of Gut Microbiota by Bioactive Peptides for the Improvement of Metabolic Diseases: A Review

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
Bioactive peptides (BPs) derived from dietary proteins modulate the gut microbiotametabolism axis by reshaping microbial composition and regulating key metabolites, including short‐chain fatty acids. BPs also enhance intestinal barrier integrity and immune homeostasis, thereby reducing inflammation.

Bone Targeting Peptide–Calcium Coordination Complexes for the Treatment of Osteoporosis

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Current calcium supplement strategies focus on bone‐targeted delivery to reduce bone loss or enhance bone formation. However, peptide–calcium complexes generally lack clear cell selectivity. This study demonstrated that pea peptides (PP), which were rich in aspartic acid (Asp) and glutamic acid (Glu) residues, had the potential to regulate ...

An autonomous and economical benthic incubation chamber for measuring dissolved oxygen fluxes in shallow, low‐flow environments

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Benthic incubation chambers enclose a known volume of water overlying a known area to measure water chemistry changes and are typically used to quantify the metabolic activity of benthic organisms or communities. Here we present an economical benthic incubation chamber for shallow, low‐flow environments, built using off‐the‐shelf components ...

Of Titans and Terraria: Exploring and Conceptualising Philanthropic Foundations Through the Lens of Metaphors

Journal of Philanthropy, Volume 31, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Addressing ongoing calls for a more robust understanding of philanthropic foundations, this paper uses metaphor analysis to map and analyse analogical metaphors on foundations—metaphors that make a direct comparison between philanthropic foundations and another domain—put forward in academic and non‐academic discourse.

Rapidly declining seagrass meadows in Brazil: Findings from satellite imagery and local knowledge

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1155-1171, May 2026.
Abstract Due to the limitations of individual monitoring approaches, integrating social perceptions with multiple advanced technologies provides a new opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of ecosystem degradation. We combined historical aerial mapping, satellite imagery, semi‐structured interviews with local stakeholders, and a bilingual ...
