Ecology and EvolutionSeagrasses provide critical ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration, sediment stabilisation and nursery habitat for juvenile fish. Zostera muelleri is ubiquitous within Australian and New Zealand estuaries, however, as a species is relatively ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.Polystyrene nanoplastics (50 nm) severely reduced the fitness of Daphnia magna infected with the fungal parasite Australozyma monospora, halving parental survival and suppressing reproduction, and they lowered parasite maturation indirectly by killing hosts before transmission rather than by limiting within‐host infection.

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 3, November 2026.Cultivating soybean in a controlled environment enables precise control of growth conditions to accelerate breeding and enhance desirable traits. This study tested four LED spectra on two soybean varieties (CZ 75 70LL and S16‐14801C). The 40B:40R:20FR spectrum increased seed number by over 10% and seed weight by 20%, while both 50B:50R and 40B:40R:20FR

Environmental maternal effects mediate the resistance of maritime pine to biotic stress.
PLoS ONE, 2013 The resistance to abiotic stress is increasingly recognised as being impacted by maternal effects, given that environmental conditions experienced by parent (mother) trees affect stress tolerance in offspring.

Chromatin Remodelling Complexes in Plant Adaptation to Abiotic Stress: Mechanisms and Perspectives
Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 9117-9132, November 2026.ABSTRACT As sessile organisms, plants have evolved elaborate epigenetic regulatory networks to adapt to a wide range of abiotic stress. Chromatin remodelling is a core epigenetic regulatory mechanism that refers to the process by which chromatin remodelling complexes mediate dynamic changes in chromatin spatial conformation and DNA accessibility ...

Frontiers in Ecology and EvolutionAugust Weismann from Freiburg, Germany played an essential role in the general acceptance of Charles Darwin´s theory of evolution. He argued against the inheritance of acquired characters and formulated the idea of the continuity of the germ plasm within

Speciation, Phenotypic Variation and Plasticity: What Can Endocrine Disruptors Tell Us?
International Journal of Endocrinology, 2013 Phenotype variability, phenotypic plasticity, and the inheritance of phenotypic traits constitute the fundamental ground of processes such as individuation, individual and species adaptation and ultimately speciation. Even though traditional evolutionary

Data from: Individual variation in plasticity dulls transgenerational responses to stress
, 2019 1. Much research has shown that environmental stress can induce adaptive and maladaptive phenotypic changes in organisms that persist for multiple generations.
