Comparing Drone and Vessel‐Based Imaging to Quantify Epibiont Coverage on Humpback Whales

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Cetacean epibionts offer noninvasive insights into host health, physiology, and spatial ecology, yet quantitative assessments in wild populations remain scarce. Although vessel‐based observations may be limited by field of view and analyst input, unoccupied aerial vehicles (UAVs; drones) are increasingly used to monitor cetacean health indices,

Scientific collaboration in data‐intensive research networks: PhD fellows' expectations and early experiences

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, Volume 77, Issue 9, Page 1153-1168, September 2026.
Abstract Collaboration has become important at all stages of research careers. In data‐intensive research fields such as wind energy, many PhD fellows are socialized to such collaboration in networks that train a cohort of PhD fellows. Based on interviews with 23 PhD fellows in four wind‐energy training networks, we investigate their expectations and ...

An ancient whole-genome duplication in barnacles contributes to their diversification and intertidal sessile life adaptation

Journal of Advanced Research
Introduction: Whole-genome duplication (WGD) is one of the most sudden and dramatic events rarely reported in invertebrates, but its occurrence can lead to physiological, morphological, and behavioral diversification.

Barnacle‐Inspired Water‐Displacing Injectable Adhesive for Rapid Hemostasis and Antibacterial Sealing in Wet Environments

MedComm – Biomaterials and Applications, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
The study developed a barnacle‐inspired, water‐displacing injectable adhesive that enables effective penetration through blood and achieves strong adhesion under wet conditions. The material demonstrates rapid hemostasis, enhanced blood cell interaction, and reliable in vivo performance, highlighting its potential for clinical applications in bleeding ...

Perturbation analysis of nonlinear matrix population models

Demographic Research, 2008
Perturbation analysis examines the response of a model to changes in its parameters. It is commonly applied to population growth rates calculated from linear models, but there has been no general approach to the analysis of nonlinear models ...

Molecular and Serological Screening of West Nile and Usutu Virus in Birds and Humans: A Sentinel Study in Finland

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
We developed sensitive real‐time PCR assays for West Nile virus and Usutu virus to screen bird and human samples in Finland. Although no positive samples were detected, active migratory flyways and recent cases in neighbouring countries highlight the risk of future introduction and the need for continued surveillance.

Non-selective feeding on microplastics in the acorn barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite: the implications in assessing barnacles as global microplastics bioindicators

Frontiers in Marine Science
To combat the plastic problem in the marine environment, bioindicators are essential because they can provide insights into the extent and ecological impacts of plastic pollution.

Pseudonyms, Propaganda, and Prints: The Life and Political Caricatures of William Dent, 1782–931

Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 343-373, September 2026.
Abstract ‘Dent was probably an amateur and nothing is known of his life’, state Bryant and Heneage. Despite contributing to caricature's ‘golden age’, William Dent remains overlooked compared to contemporaries like James Gillray. Dent's extensive portfolio (1782–93) and rumoured role as a Pittite propagandist have not secured his place in the canon of ...

Biochemistry of Barnacle Adhesion: An Updated Review

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Barnacles are notorious marine fouling organisms, whose life cycle initiates with the planktonic larva, followed by the free-swimming cyprid that voluntarily explores, and searches for an appropriate site to settle and metamorphoses into a sessile adult.
