Simulated Range Expansion Suggests Rapid Change in Biotic Resistance to a Range‐Shifting Competitor

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We constructed populations of Lemna minor genotypes sourced from localities near and beyond the range edge of a potential range‐shifting competitor, Spirodela polyrhiza. Following 14 weeks of exposure to low densities of S. polyrhiza, we observed subtle but significant rapid evolution and phenotypic plasticity of functional traits in L.

A Mechanistic Review of Environmental Stressor to Decode Their Effect on Congenital Malformations: A Developmental Toxicity

open access: yesJournal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, Volume 40, Issue 8, August 2026.
Environmental toxicants may disrupt developmental pathways via strong molecular docking interactions with hub FGF proteins (FGF9 and FGF4) like dibenzo‐p‐dioxin (−7.2 kcal/mol) at the ASN146 residue of FGF9, driving congenital malformations as revealed by PPI networks and toxicity profiling.

Artificial Light at Night Does Not Elicit Transgenerational Effects in the Pacific Field Cricket, Teleogryllus oceanicus

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a pervasive anthropogenetic pollutant and a powerful chronodisruptor, as it can mask environmental light cues and negatively influence circadian and seasonal biological processes. Within‐generation negative effects of ALAN have been recorded across a broad range of species. However, few studies have explored

Impacts of a Sweet Orange Essential Oil–Based Biopesticide on Exorista larvarum, a Parasitoid Tachinid Fly With a Dual Role

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 933-941, August 2026.
Lethal (mortality) and sublethal (fecundity, fertility) effects of the biopesticide Prev‐Am Plus (containing ~6% sweet orange essential oil) were assessed on the tachinid fly Exorista larvarum. Mated females were exposed via contact and oral routes across five concentrations (0.25%–20%) using protocols adapted from Apis mellifera.

Copper-induced transgenerational plasticity in plant defence boosts aphid fitness

open access: yesPlant, Cell & Environment
Transgenerational plasticity in plants is an increasingly recognized phenomenon, yet it is mostly unclear whether transgenerational plasticity is relevant to both the fitness of the plant and its interacting species. Using monoclonal strains of the giant duckweed ( Spirodela polyrhiza) and its ...

A review on true dung beetles' evolutionary and ecological responses to temperature and impacts on ecosystem functions

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 621-638, August 2026.
True dung beetles are a speciose group of ecosystem engineers that play key roles as detritivores in natural and agricultural landscapes. Scarabaeine beetles show strong thermal plasticity and there is increasing evidence of rapid evolutionary divergence in response to temperature across ecological and evolutionary timescales, with likely consequences ...

Melatonin seed priming: A climate‐smart, green strategy to enhance abiotic stress tolerance in plants

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 2942-2975, August 2026.
This review synthesizes how melatonin seed priming preconditions seeds to enhance tolerance against diverse abiotic stresses. It highlights the underlying mechanisms and proposes an integrative roadmap of advanced molecular and breeding tools to design next‐generation, stress‐smart plants.
