The family Euphorbiaceae, source of vegetable oils for the technochemical industry

Grasas y Aceites, 1992
The family Euphorbiaceae includes a huge number of species some of which provide important raw materials such as rubber, cassava, waxes and oils. In this study, the general botanical and chemical characteristics of this family are described firstly ...

Management of invasive alien plants in forests: A global perspective

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
This review exposes urgent and critical knowledge gaps in forest IAP management, which need addressing to meet global targets for biodiversity and forest health. These gaps include highly uneven global research effort, narrow species focus, limited method replication, overlooked seasonal effects, and inconsistent cost reporting.

Common ground: Efficient, consistent, observer‐independent bioacoustic call density estimation with adjudicated ground truth and capture–recapture detection functions

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 7, Page 2161-2174, July 2026.
Abstract Passive acoustic recording is a cost‐effective method for monitoring vocal animals. Within this field, there is an increasing focus on automated detection algorithms for counting calls and estimating call density (in space and time). For accurate interpretation of such results, it is important to understand and correct biases introduced by ...

Ageing in Honeybees: Telomere Length Is Driven by Climate and Resource Availability Rather Than Urbanisation or Pollution

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
We analysed telomere length in 981 honeybee foragers sampled across 57 sites spanning a ~1000 km gradient of urbanisation, environmental pollution, climate and floral resources in central Argentina. Telomere length declined with increasing mean annual temperature and floral abundance, while showing no association with urbanisation or chemical ...

Strategic Roadmap for Addressing Microplastic Pollution in the Global South: Bridging Monitoring Gaps, Harmonizing Methods, and Building Analytical Capacity

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 35, Issue 4, Summer 2026.
ABSTRACT Microplastic (MP) pollution represents a growing environmental challenge, especially in tropical and subtropical coastal regions of the Global South, where methodological fragmentation, funding discontinuity, and dependence on external analytical infrastructure limit the production of comparable data and the formulation of evidence‐based ...

Microbial effects and home‐field advantage in holm oak (Quercus ilex) germination

Ecosphere
Germination is a critical process influenced by multiple abiotic and biotic factors and depends on the interaction between microorganisms and the environment. As plants select specific sets of microbes that evolve together in response to local conditions,

Combined Effects of Land‐Use‐ and Climate‐Driven Stressors on Stream Fungi and Organic Matter Decomposition

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Freshwater microbial communities sustain ecosystem functions and services, with aquatic fungi playing a key role in organic matter decomposition and nutrient transfer. However, the combined effects of multiple stressors on stream fungal biodiversity and functioning remain poorly understood.

Future constraints and trends of the air-sea CO2 flux in the South-East Pacific region: a CMIP6 evaluation

Frontiers in Marine Science
The South-East Pacific (SEP) plays a key role in the global carbon cycle. However, despite its importance, its ability to absorb anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) remains poorly constrained due to strong variability and spatial heterogeneity in the air ...
