Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 4, Page 1629-1648, October 2026.Mountain ecosystems are under strong environmental pressure and are considered highly vulnerable to climate change, which is likely to lead to forest expansion and loss of open alpine grasslands, threatening many specialized species. However, for most alpine birds, even basic ecological knowledge, such as their diet, remains limited, restricting our ...

Programming of Complex Magnetic Profiles Enforced by 4D Printed Magnetic LCE Actuators
Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 51, 11 September 2026.A 4D printing‐enabled magnetic programming strategy is introduced in which thermally actuated liquid crystal elastomers are magnetized in their target shape to encode complex three‐dimensional magnetic profiles. The resulting actuators achieve multistate shape morphing and programmable locomotion under low magnetic fields, without requiring specialized

Aggregate, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2026.Biological function arises from aggregates rather than from molecules. Comparing biomimetic systems on a common basis reveals three transferable design rules governing hierarchical assembly, interfacial gradients, and stimulus‐coupled anisotropy, and identifies self‐healing and single‐step multiscale integration as properties that do not transfer to ...

Mandible composition and properties in two selected praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea)
The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2298-2314, September 2026.Abstract Insects process their food with their cuticle‐based mouthparts. These feeding structures reflect their diversity and can, in some cases, showcase adaptations in material composition, mechanical properties, and shape to suit their specific dietary preferences.

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 534, Issue 9, September 2026.We provide a description of the morphology of selected sensory organs and of the central nervous system in the Zoea 1 of the Asian shore crab Hemigrapsus sanguineus using multiple neuroanatomical methods. Our data reveal well‐developed visual and olfactory organs and complex primary sensory neuropils related to processing this input.

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.Loxomerus antipodes Liebherr and Marris, sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Carabidae), is described from the New Zealand subantarctic Antipodes Islands archipelago. Loxomerus antipodes, sp. nov., was considered conspecific with Loxomerus brevis Blanchard, 1853, from the Auckland Islands, but it is diagnosed from that sister taxon based on numerous anatomical ...

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.Velvet worms and vagrant spiders are two predatory invertebrate taxa that can occupy urban forests, but understanding their habitat associations in these environments has been hampered by a lack of effective monitoring methods. We assessed how forest age and type affected the numbers of velvet worms and vagrant spiders detected within leaf litter ...
