Colours of urban selection: carotenoid‐based signals reveal divergent urban/rural evolutionary trajectories in two closely related passerines

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.
Urbanisation is a major driver of environmental change, reshaping ecological and evolutionary processes. Urban‐driven phenotypic differences are increasingly documented, but the underlying role of selection is still understudied. One pattern is the consistent reduction of carotenoid‐based plumage pigmentation in city birds.

From Physique to Feelings: Deciphering the Body–Jealousy Connection in Women's Responses to Feminine Vocal Cues

PsyCh Journal, Volume 15, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Jealousy typically emerges when individuals sense that their romantic relationships may be threatened by others who display characteristics indicative of high mate quality. Previous research has found that in contexts of intrasexual competition, feminine female voices indicate high mate value and elicit stronger jealousy responses from other ...

Shifting Syllable Production in an Ex Situ Population of a Critically Endangered Songbird

Zoo Biology, Volume 45, Issue 1, Page 29-36, January/February 2026.
Bali mynas produced songs containing more syllables under increased anthropogenic disturbance. ABSTRACT Singing is an ecologically important behaviour for songbirds. Syllables function as the building blocks of birdsong, so changes to their production will have implications for overall song structure.

Origin of the Bulge Topography Within Caloris Basin, Mercury

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Caloris basin on Mercury has a massive circular bulge topography imprinted with unique fault sets. A variety of deformational processes have been proposed to have influenced their formation, including both global contraction and basin evolution, as well as the deposition and weight of the volcanic infill.

Using artificial neural networks to explain the attraction of jewel beetles (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) to colored traps

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 325-335, February 2026.
Jewel beetles can discriminate leaf feeding sites and bark oviposition sites based upon the opponent comparison of their blue, green, and red photoreceptor signals. Through this mechanism, green traps resemble leaves, and purple traps resemble bark, explaining their different attractiveness to males and females.

Structured Promoter Variability in Epigenetically Regulated Operons Contributes to Surface Adaptation in Salmonella

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.
We discovered that Salmonella uses structured, recurrent variation in epigenetically regulated promoter regions to fine‐tune gene expression, revealing a novel evolutionary strategy for surface adaptation. ABSTRACT Bacterial adaptation to dynamic and hostile environments often relies on the ability to modify surface structures, which are subjected to ...

On Sourcing Stonehenge Sarsen Stone #58: A Response to Nash and Ciborowski's Comments

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 1, Page 48-50, February 2026.
ABSTRACT This is a brief response to Nash and Ciborowski's comments in 2025 on our 2024 paper, which focused on the reinterpretation of geochemical data for Stonehenge stone #58 published by Nash et al. in 2020. We address the problems they perceived in our use of absolute elemental concentrations, our selection of discriminating elements, and single ...

A complex network perspective on brain disease

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 364-399, February 2026.
ABSTRACT If brain anatomy and dynamics have a complex network structure as it has become standard to posit, it is reasonable to assume that such a structure should play a key role not only in brain function but also in brain dysfunction. However, exactly how network structure is implicated in brain damage and whether at least some pathologies can be ...

Evocative effects of children's education‐associated genetics on maternal parenting: results from the Norwegian mother, father and child cohort study

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, Volume 67, Issue 2, Page 158-170, February 2026.
Background It has long been hypothesized that increasing heritability with age of cognitive and educational performance is partly attributable to evocative gene–environment correlation. However, this hypothesis has not been widely tested. Methods We addressed this gap by examining whether children's education polygenic scores (PGSedu) were associated ...
