New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.Central Asia harbors a rich yet understudied assemblage of wood‐inhabiting Hymenochaetoid fungi. This review delivers the first comprehensive synthesis of 43 poroid species representing 18 genera documented across montane forests, steppes, and xeric habitats.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 385-400, March 2026.Holoendoparasites are extremely rare plants that live entirely hidden inside their hosts, with only flowers and fruits visible. We studied Apodanthes caseariae, found in central and South America, parasitizing Casearia sylvestris. Little is known about its life cycle.

Carboniferous fossils enlighten the systematics and evolution of Hemiptera
Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 2, March/April 2026.Abstract Fossils are witnesses to the evolutionary processes undergone by living lineages. The earliest occurrence of clades provides rich insights into the timing of diversification of lineages and better delimits the groups that compose them. Hemiptera are a remarkable order within the insects due to their high morphological and ecological diversity.

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 3, March 2026.This study describes a novel species of marine heterotrophic nanoflagellate, Hexatilemonas jangsaensis gen. et sp. n., within the uncultured APU‐30 clade, and highlights the global distribution pattern of this previously uncharacterised genus. This isolate is hypothesised to feed on bacteria attached to substrates in the water column using pseudopodia.

Frog‐biting midges and mosquitoes: Comparative insights from the Oriental and Sino‐Japanese regions
Entomological Science, Volume 29, Issue 1, March 2026.This review synthetizes current knowledge of frog‐biting mosquitoes and midges in the Oriental region and Japan, revealing strong geographic biases in research despite shared amphibian lineages. We highlight key knowledge gaps to guide future studies. Abstract Frog‐biting mosquitoes (Culicidae) and midges (Corethrellidae) are old hematophagous lineages
