Connecting tradition and technology: The digitization of the ethnobotanical collection at the Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1104-1115, July 2026.
The digitization of RBetno (JBRJ) represents a step forward for biodiversity conservation in Brazil. Aligned with the Kunming‐Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (Target 2, 2020–2030), this project documents the use of plants, including traditional knowledge and vernacular names, with a focus on the Atlantic Forest and Amazon.

New Chronological Evidence of Early Human Activities 8000 Years Ago in the Coastal Region of Fujian, Southern China

Quaternary
Coastal regions played a key role in the emergence of Early Neolithic cultures. Fluctuating sea levels shaped prehistoric human migration, settlement patterns, and adaptation strategies. The lower reaches of the Min River in Fujian were a major centre of

Plant populations in ancient grasslands harbour higher levels of genetic diversity

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Since ancient grasslands harbour genetically more diverse plant populations, land use history should be given more attention in conservation management. Abstract Land‐use change and intensification can be a threat to biodiversity of grassland habitats, including genetic diversity.

A Roadmap for Using Hybridisation Capture–Based Target Enrichment of Ancient Environmental DNA in Palaeoecology

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 5, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Recovering ancient DNA from environmental samples is transforming the way we understand historical ecosystems. While high‐throughput sequencing of the total DNA in environmental samples (shotgun metagenomic sequencing) reveals the taxonomic contents of these samples, the genetic signals of some taxa (e.g., eukaryotes) can be weak compared to ...

Constructing National Identity Through Museums in Early Republican Turkey: Historical Narrative, Spatial Transformation, Exhibiting Modernity, and Monumentality

Curator: The Museum Journal, Volume 69, Issue 3, Page 373-389, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines the role of museums in the construction of national identity during the Early Republican Period in Turkey (1923–1950). Drawing on theoretical approaches that interpret museums as spaces in which collective memory and national identity are materially organized and publicly communicated, the study analyzes museums as key ...

Southern Iberia as a Hotspot of Wild Grapevine Genetic Diversity

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The commercial interest of grapevines (Vitis vinifera L.) has prompted numerous studies on their origin and genetic resources in the context of global change. However, genomic‐scale information on diversity patterns and genetic structure in southwestern Europe remains scarce.

Genomic Diversity of Aurochs From a Mediterranean Ice‐Age Refugium

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 13, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The aurochs, the wild ancestor of domestic cattle, was a keystone herbivore in Late Pleistocene Eurasian ecosystems and a major prey species for Palaeolithic hunter‐gatherers. Despite its significance, the genetic structure of aurochs populations that survived the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) remains poorly understood, especially in southeastern

Neolithic Fishing Stations at Šventoji, Southeastern Baltic

Heritage
Several examples of de-Neolithisation have been identified in the Eastern Baltic region, where communities of Neolithic cultures—particularly in areas rich in aquatic resources—shifted from animal husbandry to fishing, or at least significantly ...
