Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.The circadian clock and melatonin coordinate homeostasis in many animals, yet their influence on reproduction and neoblast proliferation has only been shown in triclads. This study demonstrates that the early‐branching catenulid Stenostomum virginianum contains photoreceptive refractile bodies, synthesizes endogenous melatonin, and that exogenous ...

Plastid Phylogenomics of Elatostemateae (Urticaceae): Insights Into Structural Variation and Phylogenetic Relationships [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study leverages complete plastid and nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences from 40 species to resolve the complex phylogeny and organellar genome evolution of the diverse plant tribe Elatostemateae. The analysis uncovered significant plastome structural variations, including novel inversions and a rare mitochondrial DNA integration event, and identified

Plant Biology, EarlyView.We demonstrate that Spiculaea ciliata attracts male Thynnoturneria abspiculus through a single semiochemical, identified as 4‐hydroxy‐3‐(methylthio)benzaldehyde, emitted from its labellum. This compound alone elicited sexual behaviours in male wasps comparable to those elicited by whole floral extracts and attracted wasps when presented on a synthetic ...

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Loricariidae is the most diverse catfish family in the Neotropics. Within this group, the genus Spectracanthicus presents conflicting phylogenetic signals: morphological studies suggest monophyly, whereas previous molecular analyses often yield unresolved relationships and taxonomic uncertainty.

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Astur [gentilis] superspecies comprising five species has a long record of taxonomic debate. Recent evidence based on mitochondrial data, limited genomic data and bioacoustics suggested a Nearctic‐Palearctic split of the former Holarctic species Astur gentilis, leading to a taxonomic revision of classifying Palearctic Astur gentilis and ...

Can Repeated Reductive Genome Evolution Across Archaeplastida Explain Volatility in Traits?
Advanced Genetics, Volume 7, Issue 4, December 2026.Genome evolution in Archaeplastida is often framed around gene gains and increasing complexity. Yet ancestral reconstructions reveal recurrent genome contraction, with ancestors frequently harboring larger gene repertoires than descendants. Across red algae, land‐plant ancestry, and embryophyte diversification, repeated expansion and reduction cycles ...
