Synthetic Raphanobrassica Genome Reveals Functional and Evolutionary Insights Into Clubroot Resistance Genes on Chromosome R5

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 3534-3549, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Clubroot, a severe soil‐borne disease caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, poses a severe threat to global production of Brassicaceae oilseed crops and vegetables. To date, there has been a serious lack of clubroot‐resistant germplasms in Brassica napus (AACC), necessitating the urgent development of novel disease‐resistant germplasm.

Into the Wild: Farm‐Derived Energy and Nutrients Enter Marine Food Webs With Carrying Capacity Implications for Aquaculture Management

open access: yesReviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Marine aquaculture is expanding globally, yet its interactions with surrounding ecosystems remain complex and insufficiently understood. This study reviews the fluxes of energy and nutrients from three major aquaculture systems: finfish cages, suspended bivalves, and seaweed farms and considers their implications for ecosystem functioning and ...

Microbial Controls on Dissolved Organic Nitrogen Cycling During Long‐Term Degradation Experiments

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract Dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) is critical for marine microbial growth by providing carbon and nitrogen. Although DON is rapidly cycled, some compounds within this pool can persist for long‐periods of time. To better understand how DON is cycled by marine microorganisms, we conducted 548‐day incubations using surface‐derived dissolved ...

Direction and Progression of Thermal Acclimation Effects on Ciliated Protist Populations Both Depend on Direction of Thermal Change

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Previous research has demonstrated that acclimation can have positive or negative effects on population growth rates in variable thermal environments, depending on the amount of time acclimation takes. A clear picture of the timescale of acclimation may help identify the consequences of various frequencies of thermal fluctuations for population ...

Genetic Reference Gaps Limit eDNA Metabarcoding and Biodiversity Monitoring of Tropical Mangrove Ecosystems

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
This review reveals major genetic data gaps for Philippine mangrove fauna, especially invertebrates, limiting species‐level eDNA detection. By compiling 48 years of biodiversity records and assessing reference library coverage, it highlights the need for targeted sequencing and shows how integrating eDNA with conventional surveys strengthens monitoring

Assessment of Preservation and Extraction Methods for Environmental DNA in Sediments

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
We assessed how different preservation methods (freezing, room temperature, silica gel, Longmire buffer) affect eDNA metabarcoding results for bacterial, fungal, microeukaryotic, and metazoan communities in marine and freshwater sediments. Results demonstrate taxonomic‐ and habitat‐specific responses to preservation methods, providing evidence‐based ...

From Nest Box to Neighborhood: Patterns of Island Biodiversity Characterized Through eDNA From Little Blue Penguin (Eudyptula minor) Nest Boxes

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
There are many environmental DNA (eDNA) sources within and around a seabird nest. These DNA traces from soil, plant material, feathers, feces, and other nest components enable detection of a wide range of taxa, including plants, fungi, insects, arachnids, mollusks, reptiles, and other vertebrates. Here, we used DNA from nest box feces to obtain signals

Unraveling Long‐Term Microsporidia Diversity and Dynamics in Lake Aydat (France) Through Paleogenomics

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Sedimentary ancient DNA study revealed 138 years of hidden microsporidian (unicellular eukaryotic parasite) diversity and host–parasite dynamics in a freshwater lake. A major community shift in the 2000s, linked to anthropogenic pressures, shows how paleogenomics reveals the diversity and long‐term ecological trajectories of these previously overlooked

Linking hydromorphological diversity to biodiversity and functioning in running waters

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Environmental heterogeneity is a key driver of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, yet linking physical habitat variability to ecological attributes remains challenging in aquatic ecosystems. Here, we present a unified framework that applies variance partitioning to hydromorphological characteristics—specifically flow velocity and depth—to

Biological characterization of a mid‐water salinity maximum intrusion over the Northeast US Shelf

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Salinity maximum intrusions, subsurface layers of anomalously salty and warm continental slope water moving onto the continental shelf along the thermocline, are recurring features over the Northeast US Shelf and represent an important cross‐shelf exchange mechanism.
