On the Heterochrony and Evolution of Oral Structures in Phyllopharyngean Ciliates (Protista: Ciliophora)

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 346, Issue 2, Page 91-106, March 2026.
Ontogenetic sequences in phyllopharyngean ciliates. ABSTRACT Heterochronic shifts in developmental sequences of unicellular organisms are rarely considered as mechanisms behind their morphological evolution. Among eukaryotic microbes, ciliates represent a key model group, exhibiting diverse morphologies and developmental trajectories.

Fecal pellet packaging enhances marine carbon sequestration

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Fecal pellets produced by marine zooplankton contribute substantially to transporting biologically fixed carbon from the sunlit sea surface into deeper water layers. Their occurrence and composition are often heterogeneous, and pellets may undergo various changes while sinking, making it difficult to quantitatively assess their mechanisms of ...

Improved COI taxonomic assignment workflow enhances detection of invertebrates in environmental DNA

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is an increasingly popular and powerful tool in ecology, offering a non‐invasive method to assess biodiversity and monitor ecosystem health across diverse environments. While the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene is one of the most widely used markers for studying eukaryotic ...

The DYRK Family: A Key Regulator of Metabolic Homeostasis and Its Therapeutic Potential in Kidney Diseases

open access: yesMedComm – Future Medicine, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
The DYRK family, a pivotal metabolic homeostasis regulator, mediates crosstalk between metabolic disorders and CKD via subtype‐specific mechanisms: DYRK1A drives diabetic (CKD risk), DYRK1B exacerbates metabolic renal injury, DYRK2 contributes to renal osteodystrophy, while DYRK3/4 remain unelucidated.

A Systematic Approach to Field Testing of Biological Products for Horticulture Is Required to Improve Food Security

open access: yesJournal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Food security challenges require immediate action to increase food production. Many biological products derived from plant, animal or microbial sources claim they sustainably increase yield, but there are concerns about biosecurity to be investigated before their introduction to the field.

Stunning Intricacies of RNA Editing Complexes RECC, RESC, and REH2C: Functional Organization, Developmental Regulation, and Evolutionary History in Kinetoplastid Protists

open access: yesWIREs RNA, Volume 17, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
U‐indel RNA editing targets mRNA:gRNA duplexes through three key complexes that collectively govern assembly, specificity, catalysis, and developmental regulation. Modern tools, including artificial intelligence, analyze the organization, dynamics, and evolution of the remarkable holo‐editosome, opening new avenues in RNA biology and therapy.

High‐Resolution Community Profiling of Active Bacteria and Eukaryotes in Replant‐Diseased Blueberry Farm Soils From New Jersey, USA

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 3, March 2026.
Long read bacterial and eukaryotic ribosomal operon sequencing combined with stable isotope probing (SIP) allowed the differentiation of microbiomes in low‐ and high‐yield blueberry farm soils. This report may ultimately be used to improve productivity and potentially detect the responsible pathogenic agent(s) or other deleterious microbes.

Distribution and Feeding of Hexatilemonas jangsaensis, a Novel Cosmopolitan Member of the Uncultured Marine Apusomonad Clade

open access: yesEnvironmental 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.

Biodiversity research requires more motors in air, water and on land

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 668-682, March 2026.
Abstract Human activities have accelerated species extinctions, driving rapid biodiversity decline. Simultaneously, advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and autonomous systems offer transformative potential for biodiversity research. Uncrewed vehicles—drones (aerial systems) and other robots (ground and underwater platforms)—equipped with high ...
