Early evolutionary history of the seed
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1511-1553, June 2026.ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

Cytoskeleton, Volume 83, Issue 6, Page 354-375, June 2026.ABSTRACT Of the three types of cytoskeleton known in animals—actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments—only actin and microtubules exist in plants. Both play important roles in cellular shaping, organelle movement, organization of the endomembrane system, and cell signaling.

Methods to estimate marine functional connectivity: A primer
Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 4, June 2026.Abstract Organism movement is a key process in the transfer of individuals, genes, functional traits, matter, and energy among habitat patches, at sea and across the land–sea interface. The resulting fluxes, collectively termed marine functional connectivity (MFC), underpin planetary health and an array of ecosystem services.

Competent Non‐Native Alternative Host Reduces Infection Success in a Generalist Parasite
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.In this study, we experimentally assessed how the addition of a non‐native alternative host affects the infection success of the larval generalist trematode, Diplostomum pseudospathaceum, in fish intermediate hosts. Our results demonstrate that the presence of alternative hosts, especially the non‐native ones, can reduce parasite transmission through ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.Arctic warming is predicted to have a positive effect on boreal species. To test this hypothesis, we gathered and analyzed two datasets on blue mussels Mytilus from the Murman Coast of the Barents Sea. The first dataset contained data on the age structure of a mussel population monitored from 2001 to 2020, while the second dataset contained data on ...

Life History Consequences of the Prevalence of Aggressive Males Carrying Costly Weapons
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.Using a soil mite system with dimorphic males, that is, aggressive, weaponized fighters and benign scramblers, we experimentally selected populations for higher proportion of fighter males for 25 generations. Populations with higher proportion of fighter males evolved faster juvenile development and higher early‐life fecundity.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.Horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus) populations along the eastern Moroccan Mediterranean coast were studied over 12 months using 390 specimens to assess reproductive ecology. The species showed two spawning periods—late winter to early spring and summer—and exhibited fractional spawning, with males being more predominant.
