Differences in mycelial turnover and persistence of wood‐decay fungi at the microscale

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary How long do fungal hyphae persist in the environment? And how does this differ between groups and species of fungi? Despite growing knowledge of fungal contributions to decomposition and soil carbon cycles, surprisingly little is known about the turnover of mycelia: What happens to fungal hyphae over time? And how this impacts different fungi's

Advancing Plant Microbiome Research Through Host DNA Depletion Techniques

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
The plant microbiome plays an essential role in promoting plant growth, enhancing stress tolerance and maintaining overall plant health. Metagenomic technologies have significantly expanded our ability to investigate plant–microbe interactions at high taxonomic and functional resolutions.

Plant Lipid Droplets and Derived Lipidic Nano‐Assemblies: Structure, Biogenesis and Pharmaceutical Applications

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lipid droplets (LDs) serve as the primary storage site for neutral lipids in plant cells, with growing evidence supporting many additional biological roles, such as in lipid homeostasis, signalling, trafficking, inflammatory responses and inter‐organelle communication.

Mixotrophic protists and ecological stoichiometry: connecting homeostasis and nutrient limitation from organisms to communities

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
In recent decades, there has been a growing recognition that mixotrophy, the ability to utilize both phototrophy and phagotrophy, is more common among plankton than previously assumed.

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

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
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.

Team Cognition Research Is Transforming Cognitive Science

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract About 30 years ago, the Dynamical Hypothesis instigated a variety of insights and transformations in cognitive science. One of them was the simple observation that, quite unlike trial‐based tasks in a laboratory, natural ecologically valid behaviors almost never have context‐free starting points.

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

Journal 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.

A Practical Approach to Study Uncultivated Protists Using Single‐Cell Techniques for Electron Microscopy

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Protists represent a significant portion of eukaryotic diversity with a wide range of ecological roles, lifestyles, and diverse morphological traits. Despite their widespread importance in ecological systems and their potential as model organisms, most protist lineages remain poorly characterized, in part due to their small size and the fact ...

A novel open-source cultivation system helps establish the first full cycle chemosynthetic symbiosis model system involving the giant ciliate Zoothamnium niveum

Frontiers in Microbiology
Symbiotic interactions drive species evolution, with nutritional symbioses playing vital roles across ecosystems. Chemosynthetic symbioses are globally distributed and ecologically significant, yet the lack of model systems has hindered research progress.

Trouble in the Tank: A Case Report of Fatal Scuticociliate Encephalitis in a Whitetip Reef Shark (Triaenodon obesus)

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 49, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract This case report presents a recent case of scuticociliatosis in a whitetip reef shark (Triaenodon obesus), housed at a zoo (Haus des Meeres Aqua Terra Zoo, Vienna, Austria). Clinical signs such as uncoordinated swimming and body tilt were observed prior to death.
