Paving the Way for Plant‐Based Bioproduction of (Z)‐13‐Octadecenoic Moth Pheromone Compounds

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sex pheromones are eco‐friendly agents to control pest insects. Yet, the cost of synthetic pheromone production has restricted their use essentially to high value crops. Plant‐based bioproduction of pheromone compounds offers a promising and sustainable alternative, opening up for the deployment of pheromone‐mediated pest control also in row ...

Responses of soil microeukaryotic communities to short-term fumigation-incubation revealed by MiSeq amplicon sequencing

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
In soil microbiology, there is a ‘paradox’ of soil organic carbon (SOC) mineralization, which is that even though chloroform fumigation destroys majority of the soil microbial biomass, SOC mineralization continues at the same rate as in the non-fumigated

Directed Evolution of Plant‐Associated Bacteria Enhances Plant Holobiont Stress Tolerance

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant stress responses are shaped by both the plant genome and its associated microbial communities, which together form the plant holobiont. Given the rapid adaptive potential of plant‐associated microbes, we hypothesised that directed evolution under selective pressure can accelerate the development of holobiont‐level stress tolerance ...

Giant phytoplankton revealed by in situ imaging

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2026.
Abstract Deployment of an autonomous Zooglider in the western Mediterranean Sea revealed the presence of long phytoplankton chains attaining maximum lengths of 6.4–10.4 mm suspended in situ. Elongate chains included the diatoms Guinardia, Proboscia, two other diatom morphologies, and solitary filaments of the cyanobacterium Trichodesmium. Most elongate

Riding the Storm: Microeukaryote Community Responses to Hurricane Disturbance

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Sandy beaches are dynamic ecosystems where terrestrial and marine organisms coexist, resulting in diverse communities where microeukaryotes (protists, microalgae, and meiofauna) are key drivers. Understanding their diversity patterns and responses to stressors is essential for elucidating ecological processes, yet information on this subject ...

Energy Allocation Explains How Protozoan Phenotypic Traits Change in Response to Temperature and Resource Supply

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
When cultures of the microorganism Tetrahymena pyriformis are transferred to environments with different temperature and resource levels, the phenotypic traits of the microorganisms—including cell size, metabolic rate, and movement speed—change.

Mitochondrial Genome Reduction and Accelerated Evolution in Planktonic Foraminiferans

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
The mitochondrial genomes of the eukaryotic lineage Retaria (Foraminifera and Radiolaria) show reductions in multiple gene categories, including complex I, transfer RNAs (tRNAs), ribosomal proteins, and ribosomal RNAs. In planktonic foraminifera, this reduction is even more pronounced, with the potential loss of atp and other genes.

Multitrophic alpha and beta diversity of lake plankton across Canada

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Anthropogenic environmental changes impact freshwater biodiversity globally. While biodiversity assessments in freshwater environments have traditionally focused on individual groups of organisms or trophic levels, considering patterns of ‘multitrophic biodiversity' across the food web provides a more comprehensive view of anthropogenic impacts and ...

Geographic Variability of Fish Carcass–Associated Microbial Communities

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 4, August 2026.
When sardine carcasses (A) were deployed across seven Japanese tidal flats (B), both bacterial (D) and ciliophoran assemblages (C) varied substantially among sites. Yet, carcass‐associated shifts (blue) were overshadowed by regional variation (red), indicating that local species pools and environmental conditions—rather than carcass inputs alone ...

The entanglement between the IUCN Red List and international biodiversity law

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species (red list) is of fundamental importance for nature conservation and biodiversity protection. I considered the interaction between the red list and international biodiversity law (IBL), the legal regime that aims to protect biodiversity at a global level ...
