Deforestation Triggers State‐Dependent Cloud Regimes in the Amazon

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The Amazon's arc of deforestation is a hotspot of rapid land‐cover change. Using 20 years of MODIS imagery combined with cloud property retrievals, CERES radiative fluxes, and ERA5 data, we show that deforestation consistently enhances low‐level cloudiness over non‐forest relative to nearby forest during the Amazon dry season.

Hidden Microbiota Inhabiting in Pollen Reserves of Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) From Amazonas Region Revealed by DNA Metabarcoding

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 4, August 2026.
DNA metabarcoding of honey bee pollen reserves from Amazonas region reveals that microbial communities are strongly shaped by their ecosystem. Despite high taxonomic turnover across different habitats, these microbiomes maintain stable, essential functions for pollinator health, though they remain highly vulnerable to habitat homogenization.

Spiralitermes jurupari, a New Genus and Species of Soldierless Termites (Blattodea: Termitidae) From the Amazon Rainforest

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The soldierless termites of Apicotermitinae exhibit highly varied digestive tract morphology, with the first proctodeal segment being one of the most commonly used features in genus diagnosis. In this study, we describe Spiralitermes jurupari Almeida‐Azevedo & Azevedo gen. et sp. nov., from the Amazon Rainforest.

A Survey of Eyeless Pseudosinella Schäffer, 1897 (Collembola: Entomobryidae) From Brazil Reveals a New Cave‐Dwelling Species From Minas Gerais State

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Herein, a new species of Pseudosinella is described from Minas Gerais State, Brazil. This was possible after reanalysing six species similar to the new species: Pseudosinella alfanjeunguiculata Bellini, Cipola & Souza; Pseudosinella aphelabiata Bellini, Cipola & Souza; Pseudosinella diamantinensis Bellini, Cipola & Souza, 2020; Pseudosinella ...

Temperate tree species show cross‐tolerance to heat, drought, and late spring‐frost stress

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 1625-1630, August 2026.
Significant cross‐tolerance of leaf traits to heat, drought and late spring‐frost were found. (a) Turgor loss point vs lethal spring‐frost temperature. (b) Heat thermal threshold temperature vs lethal spring‐frost temperature. (c) Heat thermal threshold temperature vs turgor loss point.

A global review of mistletoe frugivory and seed dispersal: The plant perspective

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1303-1314, August 2026.
We reviewed studies on mistletoe frugivory and seed dispersal worldwide. Although mistletoes are relatively well studied, major taxonomic, geographic, and methodological gaps remain. We conclude that modern technologies offer new opportunities to address long‐standing but still poorly explored questions about these interactions.

Airborne Observations Reveal Underestimated Riverine Methane Emissions Across the Amazon

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Strongly increasing trends in global methane in recent decades highlight the importance of understanding source‐sink attributions and climate feedback mechanisms, especially for large natural sources like wetlands. Here, we present an analysis of airborne methane observations above the Amazon Basin conducted from December 2022 through January ...
