Ecophysiological study of green microalgae isolated from the grit crust of the Atacama Desert

Journal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 3, Page 1031-1043, June 2026.
Abstract Terrestrial algae play a critical, yet often overlooked, role in the functioning of biological soil crusts (biocrusts), which are considered microecosystems, particularly in extreme environments. This study investigated the ecophysiological traits of green algae isolated from the grit crust—a unique biocrust type reported a few years ago in ...

Resolving the phylogeny of Diorygma aeolum, along with its photobiont Trentepohlia species from the Western Ghats, India

Studies in Fungi
This study unravels the symbionts of the lichenized fungus Diorygma aeolum with its Trentepohlia photobiont from the Western Ghats (India). Phylogenetic positioning of the mycobiont and photobiont was assessed by integrating morphology, thallus chemistry,

Transcriptomic analysis reveals the hepatic response mechanisms of the Chinese spiny frog (Quasipaa spinosa) to Citrobacter freundii infection

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract To elucidate the pathogen and host response mechanisms underlying mass mortality in Quasipaa spinosa, dominant bacteria were isolated from diseased individuals and identified as Citrobacter freundii by morphological, physiological, and biochemical characterization, 16S rRNA sequencing, and phylogenetic analysis.

Behavioral Patterns of Zoo‐housed Lowland (Tapirus terrestris) and Malayan tapirs (Tapirus indicus), With a Focus on Sleeping Behavior

Zoo Biology, Volume 45, Issue 3, Page 356-367, May/June 2026.
A behavioral study of the nocturnal activity budget and rhythmicity reveals the relationship between lying cycle (LC) duration and time spent in the REM‐sleep posture (“lying – head down”, LHD) in zoo‐housed Lowland tapirs (Tapirus terrestris) and Malayan tapirs (Tapirus indicus). ABSTRACT To ensure and optimize husbandry conditions, zoo management and

Four Novel Colletotrichum Species Associated With Anthracnose of Ornamental Araceae in Brazil With Insights Into Their Host Range

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Five ornamental Araceae with anthracnose symptoms, collected in Brazil, yielded four new species of Colletotrichum. These were described and named. Cross‐inoculations of those species on six aroids showed them to be non‐specific. ABSTRACT Araceae includes numerous flowering plant species that are cultivated as ornamentals in gardens, pots or by the cut‐

Population and herbarium genomics provide a comprehensive framework for a revision of Microcoleus (Cyanobacteria)

Journal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 2, Page 454-476, April 2026.
Abstract Microcoleus is a cosmopolitan, filamentous cyanobacterium and a key component of biological soil crusts—complex microbial communities essential for primary production in diverse terrestrial environments. Here, we performed a taxonomic revision of several species of Microcoleus based on a large population genomic dataset.
