Native biocrust microbes modulate salinity‐driven recruitment filters in coastal wetlands
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Mediterranean coastal wetlands are biodiversity hotspots increasingly threatened by climate change, particularly by salinization, which strongly constrains plant recruitment during early life stages. Native soil microbiota may provide nature‐based solutions (NbS) to enhance plant establishment under saline conditions.

Cognitive Symbionts. Expanding the Scope of Cognitive Science With Fungi
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract It has been argued that fungi have cognitive capacities, and even conscious experiences. While these arguments risk ushering in unproductive disputes about how words like “mind,” “cognitive,” “sentient,” and “conscious” should be used, paying close attention to key properties of fungal life can also be uncontroversially productive for ...

Seeing Through an Ant's Eyes: Do Entomopathogenic Fungi Extend Their Cognition to Their Hosts?
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Post‐cognitivist approaches recognize cognition as a phenomenon that involves not just brains but all the sensorimotor apparatus of organisms. This means that brains are not always required for the emergence of cognition and that every organism can, in principle, be cognitive, unlocking a theoretical framework to explain the complex adaptive ...

A Conceptual Framework for Understanding Intelligent Behavior in Fungal Mycelia
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Fungi exhibit remarkably complex behavior through their mycelial networks, which consist of thread‐like structures known as hyphae. Recent research on saprotrophic fungi has demonstrated that their mycelium behaves in ways that indicate memory, learning, decision‐making, and problem‐solving based on spatial pattern recognition—all of which are

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 4, December 2026.Abstract Soil acidity is the major constraint to barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) production in Ethiopia. This study assessed the effectiveness of lime application in mitigating the adverse effects of soil acidity on 20 barley genotypes: 10 tolerant and 10 susceptible.

Soil microbial diversity: The hidden wealth of sustainable farming
Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 4, December 2026.Abstract Soil harbors diverse microbial communities that are fundamental to soil health and agricultural sustainability. Despite their ecological and agronomic importance, these communities remain underutilized as biological resources for improving crop production.

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 6, Page 2839-2873, December 2026.ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Mapping Microbial Interaction Networks of Alcoholic Fermentation
eFood, Volume 7, Issue 6, December 2026.We propose a generalized statistical mechanics framework that integrates ecological niche theory, evolutionary game theory, and the allometric scaling law. This approach enables the reconstruction of dynamic, multilayer, and modular networks from static microbial data during the fermentation process.

Innovative Processing Technologies for Legumes and Legume Products—A Review
Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 4, December 2026.ABSTRACT The demand for plant‐based foods to improve food security, reduce malnutrition and promote better health worldwide has increased significantly in recent years. Legumes are a nutrient‐rich, sustainable, less expensive source of plant‐based foods, making them a healthy option for developing new food products.
