Fire regime change in western Tasmania between 1830 and 2025

open access: yesGeographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 1, February 2026.
Sketches by N.J.B. Plomley of George Augustus Robinson western Tasmanian expeditions in 1830 and 1833, undertaken to persuade Aboriginal nations of western Van Diemen’s Land to leave their ancestral lands. Geographic analysis of Robinson journal of this remote area provides unique insights in the changes in fire regimes that followed this tragic ...

Identification of key gut microbiota and microbial QTL in contributing to the significant differences in body weight between two Chinese local chicken breeds

open access: yesAnimal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Previous studies have identified genetic loci that are associated with both feed conversion efficiency and gut microbiota in chickens, suggesting that interactions between the host genome and gut microbiota may influence chicken growth. However, the number of microbial QTL and gut microbiota associated with chicken body weight remains largely ...

Production of antibacterial compounds by a Steely hybrid polyketide synthase in Dictyostelium

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 1, Page 68-78, January 2026.
By selecting appropriate production species under optimised culture conditions, new chlorinated dibenzofuran compounds, which previously could not be analysed in sufficient quantities, were identified from cellular slime mould fruiting bodies. The strong antibacterial activity exhibited by these compounds suggests a link to the ecological function of ...

Recombinant Proteins: A Molecular Tool to Understand Marine Adhesion and to Advance Biomaterials

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 3, 19 January 2026.
The production of recombinant proteins represents a fundamental step in the characterisation of marine invertebrate adhesives and in the development of bio‐inspired glues. The association of these proteins with other components such as ions, proteins, polysaccharides, or polymers enables the fabrication of biomaterials for various healthcare ...

A New Classification Framework to Understand Evolutionary Transitions in Individuality

open access: yesBioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 1, January 2026.
Classifying biological entities based on whether and how the two fundamental aspects physiological and evolutionary components are represented yields six types of structural organization. The resulting framework allows to compare different forms of organization, and, in this way, provides insight into the evolutionary processes giving rise to these ...

Ecology and Diversity of Urban Drosophila Species Communities as Potential Indicators of Biodiversity Decline

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
We investigated urban Drosophila communities in Vienna using ~18,000 specimens collected with citizen scientists, identifying 13 species including two new records for Austria (D. mercatorum and D. virilis). Compared to surveys 30 years ago, species richness has declined by more than 50%, with formerly common species replaced by neobiotic taxa.
