Drivers of Population Genetic Diversity Across Ecologically Distinct Species in a Cape Fynbos Grass Clade. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Population genetic diversity (PGD) underpins the adaptive capacity of species, shaping resilience to environmental change and long‐term persistence. Yet the drivers of PGD variation are complex and difficult to disentangle because they act across multiple scales and reflect both ecological context and evolutionary history. Here, we investigate

Mycobiome Simplification in Wheat Is Associated With the Pathogen Parastagonospora nodorum. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Plant mycobiomes are essential to plant health, yet their assembly under biotic stressors such as pathogen infection remains poorly understood. Plant pathogens can influence microbial community composition through direct antagonism and suppression of host immune responses, potentially altering mycobiome composition in ways that could affect ...

Integrating developmental and macroevolutionary approaches reveals a staminodial origin of all alternisepalous organs in Caryophyllaceae. [PDF]
Abstract Premise The identity of sterile floral organs in second‐whorl, alternisepalous positions within Caryophyllaceae remains contentious, having been described as staminodes, “petaloids,” or petals homologous with those of other Pentapetalae. Limited ingroup and outgroup sampling and floral developmental data and inadequate phylogenetic comparative

Pilliga Ghosts: The Novel Fungi of the Rivers, Creeks, Lakes, and Dams of the Narrabri Region, Australia. [PDF]
Freshwater systems of the semi‐arid Narrabri region, Australia, are hotspots of novel fungal and eukaryote diversity, dominated by zoosporic fungi and unclassified lineages. ITS‑based DNA and water chemistry analyses across various water bodies revealed strong seasonal patterns, a scarcity of aquatic hyphomycetes that may reflect environmental ...

Hotspot of Exotic Benthic Marine Invertebrates Discovered in the Tropical East Atlantic: DNA Barcoding Insights From the Bijagós Archipelago, Guinea-Bissau. [PDF]
This study explored exotic marine benthic invertebrate species in the Bijagós Archipelago, Guinea‐Bissau, through the region's first scuba‐diving biodiversity survey and DNA barcoding. Results revealed 28 new species records, including seven first‐time East Atlantic species.

The Complete Mitogenome of the Estuarine Clam <i>Potamocorbula amurensis</i> (Corbulidae, Myida) and Its Implications for Phylogeny and Adaptation. [PDF]
This study reports the first complete mitogenome of the estuarine clam Potamocorbula amurensis, revealing its phylogenetic position as a sister group to the Myidae–Dreissenidae clade. Molecular dating indicates a Middle Jurassic divergence, and positive selection was detected in the nad5 gene, suggesting mitochondrial adaptations to osmotic stress in ...

Cryptic Diversity and Genetic Differentiation of Mesophotic Hydroids in the Southwestern Indian Ocean. [PDF]
To assess whether hydroids (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa) are good candidates to test the Deep Reef Refuge Hypothesis and particularly the vertical connectivity component, we analysed the genetic diversity and structure of seven species sampled across euphotic and mesophotic depths around Mayotte and Reunion in the southwestern Indian Ocean.
