The myth of the metabolic baseline: sleep–wake cycles undermine a foundational assumption in organismal biology

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1491-1510, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Basal and standard metabolic rate (BMR and SMR) are cornerstones of physiological ecology and are assumed to be relatively fixed intrinsic properties of organisms that represent the minimum energy required to sustain life. However, this assumption is conceptually flawed. Many core maintenance processes underlying SMR are temporally partitioned

Nuclear Entanglement: New Insights Into the Role of Cytoskeleton and Nucleoskeleton in Plant Nuclear Function

open access: yesCytoskeleton, Volume 83, Issue 6, Page 354-375, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Of the three types of cytoskeleton known in animals—actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments—only actin and microtubules exist in plants. Both play important roles in cellular shaping, organelle movement, organization of the endomembrane system, and cell signaling.

Making Two out of One: Kinesin Motors Driving Plant Cell Division

open access: yesCytoskeleton, Volume 83, Issue 6, Page 384-393, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Kinesin superfamily of microtubule dependent motors is present in all eukaryotes. Not all of the subfamilies are represented in all kingdoms, and the ones that are do not always show conserved functions. Tight control of the cytoskeleton is essential for proper progression and completion of mitosis and cytokinesis, and key functions are ...

Camera Trap Design Determines Taxa Detected at Carrion Sites

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
In this study, we demonstrated that camera trap orientation (i.e., horizontal and vertical) at carrion sites differed in their animal community composition and taxa associations. The vertical camera trap orientation was more likely to detect necrophagous invertebrates, while the horizontal orientation was more likely to detect white‐tailed deer.

Bacteriophages in the Rhizosphere: Roles in Nutrient Cycling, Bacterial Community Structure, and Animal‐Mediated Dispersal

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
This review discusses bacteriophages' roles in soil ecosystems, highlighting their impact on nutrient cycling, plant health, and soil remediation, as well as animal‐mediated phage dispersal mechanisms. Overall, while bacteriophages have potential biotechnological applications, their negative effects on microbial functions and nutrient cycling highlight

Burrow characteristics and habitat associations of armadillos in Brazil and the United States of America

open access: yesRevista de Biología Tropical, 2000
We censused and measured armadillo burrows in ten 10 m x 40 m plots in each of four habitat types at a study site in northern Florida and one in the Atlantic coastal rainforest of Brazil.

Advancing Heliophysics and Space Weather Modeling Through Open Science

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract We present a community‐wide effort to develop a strategy and action plan to advance heliophysics and space weather modeling through open science. While open science has the potential to enhance the quality and pace of scientific discovery, its application to scientific modeling requires more careful consideration regarding open data and open ...

Generalist With a Narrow Niche Breadth: Feeding Ecology and Seed Germination Effectiveness of a Large Canid Within a Silvicultural Matrix

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
Diet: The generalist canid exhibits a narrow niche breadth (0.12), consuming native plants (100% frequency) and animals (85%). Birds dominate animal prey (74%), peaking in the dry season, while Solanaceae plants dominate plant food (100%), peaking in the rainy season.
