Characteristics and driving mechanisms of mixing and stratification in Suances estuary using the potential energy anomaly budget equation

Frontiers in Marine Science
The environmental variability of rivers and tides create complex mixing patterns, which modulate the estuarine ecosystem services. Therefore, a thorough understanding of these systems is vital, not only for their protection but also for their recovery ...

Tuning Functional Properties of Starch–Pectin Composites by Extrusion

Starch - Stärke, Volume 78, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study demonstrates that extrusion temperature modulates the structural cohesion, water affinity, and rheological properties of composites based on pregelatinized starch and pectin. The findings highlight the potential of thermal processing to tailor the functionality of starch–pectin systems for food and biopolymer applications.

Environmental detection of the amphibian chytrid fungus in water bodies is associated with host infection along a deforestation gradient

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Linking environmental pathogen detection with host infection patterns can improve surveillance of diseases involving environmental transmission, particularly where direct host sampling is logistically challenging. This approach enables the identification of areas of elevated transmission risk and supports targeted monitoring and management under ...

Is There Life After Death? The Role of Standing Dead Phorophytes in Supporting Tropical Epiphyte Diversity

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Global increases in tree mortality from climate change and land‐use are altering forest structures, impacting canopy‐dwelling plants like vascular epiphytes, which depend on host trees (phorophytes). When a phorophyte dies standing, it becomes a snag, the local substrate conditions change and microclimatic exposure may increase, particularly ...

Characterization of Goat Milk Fermented With Streptococcus thermophilus, Limosilactobacillus mucosae CNPC007 and Inulin With Addition of Cereus jamacaru

Applied Research, Volume 5, Issue 3, June 2026.
Limosilactobacillus mucosae maintained viability above 7 log CFU/g during storage of the fermented goat milk with inulin and Cereus jamacaru jam and survived over 4 log CFU/g during the in vitro gastrointestinal simulation. This jam enriched the total phenolic content of the fermented milk that achieved overall acceptability scores close to or above 7.

Taxonomic Updates of Thismia pseudomelanomitra (Thismiaceae) Reveal an Old Acquaintance From the Ecuadorian Amazon

Feddes Repertorium, Volume 137, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Amazon Basin is home to the world's greatest terrestrial biodiversity, but many plant groups remain poorly studied. One example is the mycoheterotrophic genus Thismia (Thismiaceae), which is notable for its highly specialized floral morphology and ephemeral life cycles, making it difficult to detect in the field and limiting its ...

Scheffrahnitermes ubuntu (Isoptera: Apicotermitinae), Description of a New Termite Using a Collaborative Approach to Address the Wallacean Shortfall

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.
The study of Neotropical Apicotermitinae remains challenging due to the large number of undescribed taxa (Linnean shortfall) as well as the scarcity of distributional data (Wallacean shortfall). Despite recent efforts to reduce the first one, the second remains an even more significant challenge.
