Phylogenetic Analyses of True Ladybirds (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae: Coccinellini) Reveal Directionality in Diet Evolution and Support a Boreotropical Origin of the Tribe

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
A newly generated large‐scale molecular phylogeny of true ladybirds (Coccinellini) clarifies their evolutionary relationships and supports a boreotropical origin in the Paleocene, with multiple independent southward dispersals. Ancestral diet reconstructions suggest an initial specialization on aphids, followed by expansions in host range and ...

Multi‐Omic Insights Into Mediterranean Diet‐Associated Microbiota

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, Volume 70, Issue 7, 15 April 2026.
Mediterranean diet (MD) influences the composition of the gut mycobiome. Key foods of MD are related to bacterial and fungal composition. Combining metagenomics and metatranscriptomics tracks the gene expression profiles of gut microbiota. Metatranscriptomics identifies the transcriptionally active members of the microbiota that overexpressed genes ...

Objective measurement of AI literacy: Development and validation of the AI competency objective scale (AICOS)

Computers and Education: Artificial Intelligence
As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes more pervasive in various aspects of life, AI literacy is becoming a fundamental competency that enables individuals to move safely and competently in an AI-pervaded world. There is a growing need to measure this competency, e.g., to develop targeted educational interventions.

The Ammann–Kramer–Neri tiling model of a P‐ZnMgEr Bergman‐type quasicrystal based on in‐house X‐ray diffraction

Acta Crystallographica Section B, Volume 82, Issue 2, Page 175-185, April 2026.
A structural solution is presented of a primitive icosahedral ZnMgEr quasicrystal representing the Bergman‐type family. The structure model is based on atomic decoration of the Ammann–Kramer–Neri tiling.This study presents the atomic structure solution of a primitive icosahedral Zn70.83Mg20.31Er8.86 quasicrystal using in‐house X‐ray diffraction and the

Spatial capture–recapture reveals resource use and declining skipper numbers in Baltic Sea salmon trolling fisheries

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Many populations of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) native to the Baltic Sea are endangered. A significant group targeting salmon in this region is the recreational trolling fishery. Due to frequent changes in fisheries regulations and conditions, both salmon conservation and fishers are affected.

Primitive icosahedral quasicrystals in ZnMgLi(Dy, Ho, Er, Tm) systems

Acta Crystallographica Section A, Volume 82, Issue 2, Page 108-117, March 2026.
The study introduces new primitive icosahedral quasicrystals in Zn–Mg–Li–(Dy, Ho, Er, Tm) systems. Quasicrystals are studied with an X‐ray diffraction technique resolving the local atomic structure.New quasicrystals with rare‐earth elements and Li are synthesized with the self‐flux method. The starting composition involves 62.8 at.% Zn, 28.6 at.% Mg, 3.

Cryptic Ontogenetic Changes in the Ventral Coloration of a Color Polymorphic Wall Lizard (Podarcis muralis)

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 1, Page 39-57, January 2026.
Wall lizards' ventral coloration undergoes cryptic ontogenetic color changes invisible without UV vision. We tracked wall lizards from hatching to one year of age. Spectrophotometry and visual modeling reveal that juveniles show a distinct UV‐enhanced white coloration that changes differently across sexes and body regions.

Market Access, the Skill Premium and Human Capital in Spain (1860–1930)

Journal of Regional Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, Page 201-228, January 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper explores the relationship between market access and human capital in the context of an industrializing economy, in this case Spain between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Specifically, we examine whether differences in regional accumulations of human capital could be related to market access.

Revisiting the Association Between Diabetes Mellitus and Hearing Loss: Methodological Heterogeneity, Shared Risk Factors, and Collider Bias

International Journal of Endocrinology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Hearing loss and diabetes mellitus impose substantial health and socioeconomic burdens, and their relationship has been investigated since Jordao’s case report in 1857. However, considerable heterogeneity persists across studies, raising questions regarding whether diabetes exerts a direct causal effect on hearing function.
