Micro/Nanoscale Acoustic Manipulation: From Particle Control to Autonomous Microswimmers

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 55, 5 October 2026.
This conceptual framework illustrates acoustic technology as a multifunctional platform enabling passive particle manipulation across scales and autonomous propulsion of microswimmers. ABSTRACT Acoustic manipulation and propulsion technologies have emerged as powerful platforms for micro/nanoscale control, enabled by their non‐contact operation, label ...

DNA metabarcoding reveals key floral resources for native pollinators in post‐fire landscapes

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 7, October 2026.
Abstract Wildfires are a natural disturbance in dry ponderosa pine forest ecosystems, and are increasing in frequency and severity across western North America. The effects of wildfire on biotic and abiotic conditions have important implications for higher trophic levels, including native bees. We sought to quantify the responses of flowering plants to

Agricultural Landscapes and Forest Fragments Shape Population Dynamics, Cuticular Lipids and the Conservation of the Masked Bees, Hylaeus communis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Small size solitary bees are often neglected. We successfully sample tiny masked bees with trap nests. We found population living in conventional farm lands are under risk compared to organic farm lands.ABSTRACTOrganic farming has been shown to offer advantages over conventional farming in protecting insect biodiversity, but our overall understanding ...

First Observation of Wild Double‐Flowered Rhododendron nivale With Stamen Petaloidy and Possible Parallel Evolution

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
We report the first discovery of wild double‐flowered populations of the alpine dwarf shrub Rhododendron nivale on the eastern Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau. Two geographically isolated populations (> 800 km apart) show nearly identical stamen petaloidy and floral modifications in similar harsh high‐altitude habitats, suggesting possible parallel evolution ...

Pollinator Visitation Within a Single Crown of the Rare Rainforest Tree Firmiana daweishanensis Is Associated With Floral Colour Change

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Flowers of the threatened canopy tree Firmiana daweishanensis change from yellow to red as they age. Observations of 16 branches within one adult crown showed that yellow flowers received more visits and greater cumulative visitation time per flower‐hour than red flowers.

Double mutualism: Dual rewards or redundancy? Insights from the interactions between mistletoes and their avian partners

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Mistletoes, recognized as keystone species, supply diverse floral and fruit resources for birds, thereby facilitating mutualistic interactions in pollination and seed dispersal. Some avian species are “double mutualists,” engaging in both functions. However, their precise roles and effectiveness as mutualists remain inadequately understood. In

Petrocosmea wentsaii sp. nov. (Gesneriaceae) from Guizhou, China

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Petrocosmea wentsaii M.Q. Han, Miao.M. Wang & Yan Liu, a new species from Guizhou, China, is described and illustrated. Petrocosmea wentsaii was found on damp walls in a huge limestone cave. It is most similar to Petrocosmea hexiensis S.Z. Zhang & Z.Y. Liu in the conformation of the corolla.

Bauhinia naniflora: a new species of section Amaria (Cercidoideae: Leguminosae) from Colombia

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Bauhinia, the most species‐rich genus of Cercidoideae (Leguminosae), is pantropically distributed and includes four sections in the Americas. During an ongoing taxonomic revision of American Cercidoideae, a new species of Bauhinia sect. Amaria ser. Decandrae currently endemic to Colombia was identified and is here described as Bauhinia naniflorasp nov.

Morphological, Phytochemical, and Molecular Characterization of Advanced Tomato Lines Under Heat Stress Conditions

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Heat stress severely limits tomato growth, yield, and biochemical stability, highlighting the need for thermotolerant genotypes. This study evaluated six advanced tomato lines using morphological, biochemical, genetic, and molecular analyses under heat stress conditions.
