Evolutionary and environmental drivers of dry‐season deciduousness in a legume genus

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 6, Page 3631-3645, June 2026.
Summary Leaf deciduousness is a key drought‐avoidance strategy in tropical flora, reducing water loss during seasonal dry periods. While winter‐deciduousness in temperate regions is well‐understood, the evolutionary and environmental drivers of dry‐season deciduousness remain poorly explored.

Physiological synergies in tolerance to freezing and drought stress reveal greater exaptation of Quercus to seasonally cold environments compared with Lithocarpus

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1532-1545, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Diversification in the genus Quercus, which includes tropical‐temperate transitions, is hypothesized to have been enabled by rapid colonization of new niches. To evaluate the role of ecophysiological adaptation to climate, we draw on close relatives in Lithocarpus and ...

Trophic rewilding restructure the insect communities according to their functional traits: Insights from a multitaxa study

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Presence of large ungulates increased richness and abundance of some insect taxa. Across taxa, it supported life history traits declining in modern industrialised landscapes. Trophic rewilding thus represents a way to remedy undesirable effects of land use intensification, and to mimic conditions in which a substantial proportion of temperate insect ...

Where We're Going, We Won't Need Eyes to See: Distributional Range Size Drivers of European Subterranean Spiders

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Understanding why closely related species can have drastically different distributional range sizes is a fundamental question in biology. However, answering this question is challenging due to the multiple inter‐related factors that shape species distributions, particularly in continental regions, where unclear ecological and geographic ...

A deep dive into the fossil record of diving beetles (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae): Bayesian inferences elucidate their origin and pulsed diversification at the genus level

Palaeontology, Volume 69, Issue 3, 2026.
Abstract Predaceous diving beetles (Dytiscidae) are among the best‐known and most extensively studied beetle clades. Their fossil record, however, remains surprisingly sparse and uneven, failing to reflect their broad extant diversity. Consequently, the study of their evolutionary history, leveraging the fossil record, particularly their ...

Functional Bread Development With Cocoa Shell Powder: Nutritional, Phytochemical, Antioxidant, and Microbiological Properties

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
Cocoa shell is an agrifood by‐product with significant potential for functional food development due to its high nutritional and bioactive profile. Incorporation of cocoa shell powder (CSP) in wheat‐based bread improved its nutritional value, prebiotic potential, phytochemicals, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties.

A stoichiometric insight into the seasonal imbalance of phosphorus and nitrogen in central European fishponds

Environmental Sciences Europe
Background This study examines seasonal and regional trends in chlorophyll- a concentrations and the dynamics of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in 32 fishponds (resulting in 150 pond-year cases) employed for fish production.

Rozhovor Britských listů 431. Proč protestuje Rebelie proti vyhynutí? [Britské listy Interview 431. Why is Extinction Rebellion organising protests?]

, 2021
The viewers of the final pre-election "superdebate" on Czech TV, broadcast on Wednesday 6th October, 2021, would have despaired. Czech politicians are planning absolutely to ignore the climate crisis and are not organising any measures against it ...

Macroevolutionary processes in turtles (Testudines): a view from biomic specialization and historical climatic changes

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
The resource-use hypothesis proposed by Elisabeth S. Vrba suggests that lineages display varying tendencies toward generalism or specialization in biome occupancy, with a tendency towards the accumulation of specialists due to their higher rate of ...
