Molecular Genetic Characterization of the Diet of Limestone and Rainforest Langurs

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Using DNA metabarcoding of 419 fecal samples collected over 1 year, we characterized and compared the diets of four Trachypithecus species from rainforest and limestone habitats in Vietnam. Langurs consumed a remarkably high diversity of plants (122–129 genera across 59–73 families), with clear interspecific differences in dietary composition and ...

Alpine flora of Kashmir Himalaya: floristic assessment, life history traits and threat status

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.
Alpine ecosystems in the Himalaya are considered to be at a higher risk to anthropogenic global change drivers. The Kashmir Himalaya, located in the north‐western side of the Himalayan biodiversity hotspot, harbors a diverse alpine flora, which remains systematically little investigated.

Traditional Respiratory Remedies From Anatolia: Ethnobotanical Insights and Bioactive Properties

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Respiratory disorders, ranging from acute viral infections such as influenza and bronchitis to chronic inflammatory conditions including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, emphysema, and pneumonia, represent a major global health burden, affecting millions annually. Traditional Anatolian folk medicine has long relied on plant‐based

Sustainable Flame Retardant System with Thermomechanically Modified Stinging Nettle Tailored for Polyamide 12

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 6, June 2026.
A sustainable flame retardant system for polyamide 12 is developed by combining melamine polyphosphate with thermomechanically modified stinging nettle. The plant‐derived component alters degradation pathways, enhances char formation, and reduces heat release.

Stratified sampling enhances the understanding of bat–fruit networks in the southern Atlantic Forest

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Few studies have sought to understand the vertical patterns of bat–fruit systems, and therefore, it is not possible to evaluate whether interpretations based on data collected from a single stratum adequately represent the interaction patterns of this system. In this context, we evaluated the dissimilarity in the assemblage of frugivorous bats, plants,

One questionnaire—Two points in time: Has plant species knowledge of laypeople changed over a period of 20 years?

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1916-1928, June 2026.
Abstract Concern has been raised that in recent decades knowledge of plant species has severely declined in western countries. However, in the absence of regularly repeated and standardized surveys, no reliable statement can be made as to whether plant species knowledge has actually declined in recent decades.

Multi‐Target Mechanisms of Moroccan Aphrodisiac Plants: An Integrative Computational and Phytochemical Investigation

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Moroccan medicinal plants with in silico‐approved aphrodisiac effects provide 94 phytochemicals. Docking against PDE5, AR, ERα, and aromatase gives top scores for lutein (−10.6), baicalein (−9.5), liquiritigenin (−9.2), and procyanidins (−9.7). ADMET filtering passes baicalein and liquiritigenin but excludes lutein and procyanidins. MD simulations (200
