Influence of temperature and light on the development of moth larvae: Different response in the sister species Orthosia gothica and Orthosia cerasi

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.
Experimental rearing of Orthosia gothica and Orthosia cerasi larvae under four controlled climate‐chamber treatments (15°C vs. 20°C; 24h darkness vs.12h light/12h dark) to isolate temperature and light effects on development. Repeated measurements of larval body size, biomass and pupation timing to quantify how growth rates and developmental duration ...

Turgor loss point explains climate‐driven growth reductions in trees in Central Europe

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Leaf turgor loss point of native tree species shows a high predictive power over the observed growth anomalies in Central Europe during the extensive drought period between 2018 and 2020. Abstract As climate change thrives, and the frequency of intense droughts is affecting many forested regions, a mechanistic understanding of the factors conferring ...

Feeding ecology of Australian Christmas beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae): Implications for conservation and habitat management

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract Christmas beetles (subfamily Rutelinae, genera Anoplognathus, Calloodes and Repsimus) are an ecologically important and culturally significant group of Australian scarabs, known for their striking appearance and seasonal mass emergences. Over the last decade, anecdotal reports suggest widespread population declines, raising concerns about ...

The FORGENIUS Genomic Resources: New Genotyping Tools and Genomic Data for 23 Forest Tree Species and Their Genetic Conservation Units

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Genetic diversity is a critical but often overlooked component of biological diversity. The European H2020 FORGENIUS project is aimed at increasing the quality and quantity of genetic data to start monitoring the European network of forest Genetic Conservation Units (GCUs).

Preharvest potassium silicate treatments influence the morphological appearance and enhance nutritional composition of almond kernels

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 5, Page 2800-2807, 30 March 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND The almond industry requires new strategies to improve almond kernel quality. The use of biostimulants such as potassium silicate (KSi) is an eco‐friendly and non‐polluting alternative. The aim of this work was to investigate the preharvest application of KSi solutions at 2 and 20 mmol L−1 to ‘Peraleja’ almond trees during two ...

Brazil Nut Flour as a Functional Ingredient: Effects on Texture, Composition and Sensory Profile of Reduced‐Sugar Gluten‐Free Cookies

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, Volume 103, Issue 3, Page 185-196, March 2026.
Graphical abstract of the characterization of Brazil nut flour (BNF) and the impact of its addition on the nutritional and sensory properties of gluten‐free and low‐sugar cookies. The results show that BNF contributed to an improved nutritional quality of the cookies and enhanced overall product acceptance.

Intra‐ and Inter‐Specific Ecological Impacts Vary Across a Gradient of Abundance of an Invasive Species, Bothriochloa ischaemum, in a Mixed‐Grass Prairie

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
The invasive grass Bothriochloa ischaemum negatively impacts native plant communities along an invasion gradient, reducing native grass abundance, plant species richness, and altering functional traits and overall community structure. Most intra‐ and inter‐specific effects increase with greater invader abundance.

The Downward Floral Orientation in Polygonatum cyrtonema Enhances Pollination Efficiency and Reproductive Fitness

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We reveal that the downward floral orientation in Polygonatum cyrtonema functions as a key floral trait, increasing visitation by effective bumble bees and reducing interference from inefficient insects, while also shielding reproductive tissues from rain and solar radiation.

Peach Kernel Oil Modulates Lipid Metabolism Disorder in ApoEa CRISPR/Cas9 Gene‐Disrupted Zebrafish

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.
In this study, we used CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology to establish a lipid metabolism disorder model of ApoEa mutant zebrafish. We applied peach kernel oil to this model and studied the mechanism of peach kernel oil regulating lipid disorder in combination with transcriptomics.
