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 ...

The essential schistosome tegumental ectoenzyme SmNPP5 can block NAD-induced T cell apoptosis
Virulence, 2020 Infection with intravascular platyhelminths of the genus Schistosoma can result in the debilitating disease schistosomiasis. Schistosomes (blood flukes) can survive in the host for many years.

Real‐Time Neurochemical Sensing in Zebrafish: Electrochemical and Fluorescent Approaches
Analysis &Sensing, Volume 6, Issue 6, November 2026.The use of zebrafish has emerged as a powerful approach for real‐time neurochemical measurements. This review highlights recent advances in electrochemical and fluorescent sensing strategies that enable dynamic measurements in live preparations of this complex vertebrate. These complementary approaches provide new insights into neurochemical signaling,

Cave‐Dwelling Planariidae in Dinaric Karst Exhibit Differing Levels of Cave Trait Evolution
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.The Dinaric karst of Croatia is a global hotspot of subterranean biodiversity, yet its cave planarians remain poorly studied. By combining field sampling, phylogenetic analyses of mitochondrial COI and nuclear 18S markers, and analyses of pigmentation and eye reduction, we provide the first integrative assessment of cave planariids in Croatia and ...

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 6, November 2026.This research shows high gastrointestinal parasitic infections in the endangered Himalayan musk deer, indicating a significant risk of cross‐transmission from sympatric livestock (chauri and horses). Moreover, distinct host‐specific parasite dominance and habitat‐dependent infection patterns accentuate the need for minimising livestock‐wildlife contact

Diversity of Ascetosporeans Associated With Feather Hydroids in New Caledonia
Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 6, November/December 2026.ABSTRACT Ascetosporea is a group of parasitic protists within Endomyxa that primarily infect marine invertebrates and can cause serious damage to fishery resources such as oysters and prawns. Although approximately 50 species have been formally described, environmental DNA (eDNA) studies suggest that their diversity remains largely underestimated, with

Phylogeny and Morphology of Novel Labyrinthulomycetes in Nova Scotia, Canada
Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 6, November/December 2026.ABSTRACT Labyrinthulomycetes are ubiquitous marine decomposers and include the thraustochytrids, a lineage known for their extensive production of polyunsaturated fatty acids and biotechnology applications. Despite historical taxonomic confusion, environmental surveys have begun to expand the known diversity within labyrinthulomycetes.

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 55, 5 October 2026.A disulfide‐sticker strategy, coupled with Ca2+ coordination, drives the hierarchical self‐assembly of a recombinant scallop adhesive protein into fishnet‐like nanostructures, affording a coating with versatile wet adhesion and intrinsic antioxidant activity. This biocompatible coating markedly promotes hair regeneration by activating follicular niches,
