Genetics of infertility and “assisted fertilization” in the Bible: The case of Abraham and his family

open access: yesAndrology, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 641-650, March 2026.
Abstract Couple infertility is a very ancient medical condition. One of the first descriptions of familial infertility/subfertility is contained in the first book of the Bible, Genesis, written in the 10th century BC and reporting tales from the oral tradition even occurred about 800 years earlier.

Breathing Life Flows Through Chaos: Reconfiguring the Effectiveness of Five‐Finger Breathing in Mental Health First Aid

open access: yesAnthropology of Consciousness, Volume 37, Issue 1, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT This article questions the moral and causal certainties attributed to the clinical assumptions of the breath of chaos. Instead of seeing chaos as an exceptional intruder that causes problems in health, I suggest that chaos underlines the changing conditions of health and it's an intrinsic part of breathing and everyday life. I discuss the five‐

Functional Redundancy Buffers Soil Fungal Turnover Against Vegetation Change in an African Savanna

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Using a natural savanna‐forest gradient in South Africa, we show that vegetation transitions drive high turnover in fungal taxonomy but maintain functional stability. Distinct forest communities replaced savanna taxa yet preserved similar guild structures, highlighting a high degree of functional redundancy despite compositional change.

Functional Traits Mediate Physico‐Chemical Niche Differentiation of Epiphytic Lichens and Bryophytes in Temperate Forests

open access: yesJournal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Host tree identity drives bark physico‐chemical filters (e.g., pH, metals) that shape epiphytic communities. We show that species‐specific functional traits, such as lichen substances and bryophyte growth forms, mediate these responses. Lichen metal homeostasis and bryophyte growth habit create distinct species thresholds and community change points ...

Question the Mark: A Review and Assessment of Bat Marking Practices

open access: yesMammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.
We reviewed a decade of research on bats and conducted a broader systematic review to assess the nature of bat marking practices and the effects and efficacy of marks. Effects of marks on bats, mark details and marking procedures are rarely reported and further research on the effects of marks on bats and more thorough reporting are needed.
