Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.We used eDNA metabarcoding of faecal samples to quantify the dietary composition of two vervet monkey populations in a semi‐urban environment in South Africa over a 4‐month period, and compared these results with visual observations. We found that both methods yielded similar results, but eDNA metabarcoding revealed a greater diversity of consumed taxa.

Herbariomics and the peculiar case of Alisma wahlenbergii (Alismataceae)
TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 1, Febuary 2026.Abstract Species identification and delimitation in aquatic plants can be challenging due to their often simple, plastic, and convergent morphology. This has led to varying taxonomic opinions in many genera, including Alisma. One debated case is the narrowly endemic A. wahlenbergii, which occurs submerged in the Baltic Sea region.

Nova Biotechnologica et Chimica, 2022 In this study, genetic diversity and phylogenetic analysis of some Vitex agnus-castus L. populations were conducted based on ISSR-PCR and chloroplast DNA trnL intron, and trnL-F sequence analyses. Vitex agnus-castus populations were detected in Aydın province, Turkey.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.The initial comparative plastome analysis of 10 Artocarpus species in China lays the groundwork for regional evolutionary research. Investigated of inverted repeat (lR) boundary variations, particularly the incomplete duplication of the ycf1 gene, elucidating mechanisms underlying genomic divergence.

Characterization of the Omnivorous Lygus lineolaris Diet in a Strawberry Field by Metataxonomy
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.This study employs metataxonomy to reveal the extensive omnivorous diet of Lygus lineolaris in a strawberry field, identifying 475 host taxa and confirming active ingestion across plant and prey sources. We introduce a novel coefficient of omnivory, demonstrating the species' strong herbivorous bias while highlighting its dietary flexibility and ...
