Occurrence and evolution of cannibal behaviour in extant snakes
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 644-664, April 2026.ABSTRACT Extant snakes (Serpentes) are a highly diverse group of squamate reptiles, which have independently evolved key morphological adaptations to consume a large variety of vertebrate and invertebrate prey. While these predator–prey interactions have been widely addressed by several studies, little is known regarding the occurrence of cannibal ...

Stable genetic diversity despite parasite and pathogen spread in honey bee colonies [PDF]
, 2015 In the last decades, the rapid spread of diseases, such as varroosis and nosemosis, associated with massive honey bee colonies mortality around the world has significantly decreased the number and size of honey bee populations and possibly their genetic ...

Genetic Basis of Cuticular Hydrocarbon Variation in the Desert Ant Cataglyphis niger
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) are a ubiquitous component of ant cuticles that are used for a wide range of chemical signaling functions, especially recognition. Here we tested for a genetic basis of CHC variation in the desert ant Cataglyphis niger. We applied a genomic mapping approach to discover associations between CHCs and 20 quantitative trait ...

The atlantic side of the iberian peninsula: a hot-spot of novel maternal honey bee diversity [PDF]
, 2011 The Iberian Peninsula harbors one the highest mitocondrial DNA (mtDNA) diversity ever reported for honey bee subspecies. This finding is explained not only by the co-occurrence of two divergent evolutionary lineages, western European (lineage M) and ...

Odorant binding proteins of the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta: an example of the problems facing the analysis of widely divergent proteins. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 We describe the odorant binding proteins (OBPs) of the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta, obtained from analyses of an EST library and separate 454 sequencing runs of two normalized cDNA libraries.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.This paper presents how common definitional criteria for Indigenous Peoples – such as self‐identification and cultural distinctiveness – are often used selectively and fall short of recognising their collective land rights. Drawing on case studies, our paper argues that legal recognition of Indigenous land rights is essential for effective biodiversity

The Fettered and the Flea: A New Poem by Edmund Waller☆
Renaissance Studies, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 41-54, February 2026.Abstract This contribution explores for the first time a 22‐line poem in a British Library manuscript, ‘To a young lady that kept a flea chay’nd in a box’, which can be convincingly ascribed to Edmund Waller. Its most famous relative is Donne’s ‘The Flea’, but its ancestry differs.
