Loss, persistence and reversal of phenotypic traits

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2119-2133, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The irreversibility of complex trait loss has long been a tenet of evolutionary biology. However, this idea is increasingly at odds with the numerous documented exceptions across the Tree of Life. We synthesise this growing body of evidence across a diverse array of taxa and traits, exploring the evolutionary conditions that enable ...

Bioactive peptides in cancer and inflammation: Mechanisms, model systems and clinical translation

Clinical and Translational Discovery, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2026.
Bioactive peptides (BAPs) derived from host, marine, insect, plant and synthetic sources share cationic, amphipathic structures adopting α‐helical, β‐sheet or cyclic conformations. These features underlie anti‐cancer effects, including membrane disruption, apoptosis and cell‐cycle arrest, anti‐metastatic activity, reduced invasion and migration, and ...

A novel approach to estimate non‐algal particle absorption for improved retrieval of pigment concentrations in coastal waters

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Phytoplankton play a central role in ocean biogeochemistry and understanding their composition and variability is critical for monitoring marine ecosystem dynamics. Continuous spectrophotometric measurements (using a Seabird Sci. AC‐S) along ship tracks enable high‐resolution measurements of particle spectral absorption (apλ), and beam ...

Sensor manufacturer, temperature, and cyanobacteria morphology affect phycocyanin fluorescence measurements [PDF]

, 2017
Sensors to measure phycocyanin fluorescence in situ are becoming widely used as they may provide useful proxies for cyanobacterial biomass. In this study, we assessed five phycocyanin sensors from three different manufacturers.

Sustainable Overproduction of the Bacterial Pigment Indigoidine as a Natural Colorant: Stability Evaluation, Inhibition of Obesity‐Diabetes‐Related Digestive Enzymes, and Activation of AMPK–AKT

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.
Production of indigoidine (IND) increased from 1.04 to 2.76 g/L using an optimized LB medium composed of glucose, l‐glutamine, tryptone, yeast extract, MgSO4·7H2O, and KH2PO4. The IND has significant inhibition properties against amylase and lipase enzymes, stimulates AMPK and AKT pathways, and improves glucose uptake.

Effects of Reduced Precipitation and Water Level Variability on Phytoplankton Dynamics and Thermal Structure in a Large Tropical Reservoir

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Drought is one of the most severe and complex natural hazards causing changes in water balance and impeding crucial water‐dependent ecosystem services. Over the last 25 years, multiple severe droughts linked to El Niño events have affected the Zambian and Zimbabwean regions.
