Using miniaturized laboratory equipment and DNA barcoding to improve conservation genetics training and identify illegally traded species

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Illegal wildlife trade (IWT) is one of the largest global illegal activities, and it negatively affects biodiversity and sustainable development worldwide. DNA barcoding coupled with high‐throughput sequencing (i.e., metabarcoding) is useful in identifying taxa affected by IWT and has been used routinely for decades.

Reduced fecundity associated with Wolbachia infection in a Neotropical drosophilid Redução da fecundidade associada à infecção por Wolbachia em um drosofilídeo Neotropical

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Using multiple infected and uninfected Drosophila sturtevanti lines, we investigated (i) the impact of Wolbachia on fecundity and (ii) its effects relative to antibiotic treatment. Based on over 1680 dissected ovaries, fecundity was similar between infected and uninfected flies.

Allosteric Modulation of Pathological Ataxin‐3 Aggregation: A Path to Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type‐3 Therapies

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 11, 23 February 2026.
This study uncovers a new allosteric site in the Josephin domain of ataxin‐3 targeted by the molecular tweezer CLR01, which modulates protein aggregation, improves synaptic function in neuronal cells, and delays motor dysfunction in animal models.

Advancing Solid‐State Calcium Batteries: Achieving Fast Ionic Conductivity at Near Ambient Conditions in Calcium Hydridoborates

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 137, Issue 36, September 1, 2025.
The addition of methylamine to calcium tetrahydridoborate enhances calcium ion conductivity significantly by increasing structural flexibility and void space as a function of increasing methylamine content. However, this results in decreasing mechanical stability.

Comparison of ultrasound with computed tomography and whole‐body diffusion‐weighted MRI in prediction of surgical outcome using ESMO‐ESGO criteria in patients with tubo‐ovarian carcinoma: prospective ISAAC study

Ultrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, Volume 67, Issue 2, Page 207-219, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective To test the non‐inferiority of extended abdominopelvic ultrasound examination compared with contrast‐enhanced computed tomography (CT) and whole‐body diffusion‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging (WB‐DWI/MRI) in discriminating preoperatively between resectable and non‐resectable disease based on the European Society for Medical ...

Selection maintains floral color polymorphism in scarlet paintbrush, Castilleja coccinea, reflecting combined ecological factors

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Premise Evolutionary theory predicts polymorphism should be rare; however, intraspecific variation in floral color is common and can be attributed to genetic drift, plasticity, or variable selection. Examining floral color polymorphism both within contact zones and across a species' range can reveal the mechanisms maintaining this variation ...

Mapping the density of giant trees in the Amazon

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 1, Page 152-168, January 2026.
Summary Tall trees (height ≥ 60 m) are keystone elements of tropical forests, strongly influencing biodiversity, carbon storage, and ecosystem resilience. Yet, their density and spatial distribution remain poorly quantified, especially in remote Amazonian regions, limiting our understanding of their ecological roles and contribution to forest–climate ...

The Mycovirus Cryphonectria Hypovirus 1 Infects the Heterologous Host Fusarium oxysporum and Induces Hypovirulence

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
The Cryphonectria parasitica hypovirus CHV1 efficiently replicates in the heterologous host Fusarium oxysporum, inducing clear hypovirulence, and has the potential to persist and spread in this pathogen by constant infections and re‐infections through hyphal anastomosis.

Downconversion Master Slave OCT With a Bidirectional Sweeping Laser

Journal of Biophotonics, Volume 18, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT This paper explores the challenges of signal processing when using optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging instruments driven by asymmetric MHz bidirectional sweeping lasers. A downconversion master–slave (DMS) method is proposed as a viable alternative to the traditional OCT protocol.
