First Comprehensive Study of Telomere Length Measured by Southern Blot Hybridization and Oxidative Stress Across 12 Captive Marine Mammal Species

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Telomeres, repetitive nucleotide sequences at chromosome ends, shorten with oxidative damage and cell replication, and are increasingly used as biomarkers of stress and physiological state. Despite this potential, telomere length (TL) in marine mammals has been measured using Southern blot hybridization in only a few cases, often from ...

A Multistrategy Improved Archimedes Optimization Algorithm for Solving Engineering Problems

open access: yesJournal of Mathematics, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Given the shortcomings of the Archimedes optimization algorithm (AOA), the traditional AOA exhibits the following limitations: the initialization phase employs a uniform 0‐1 random number distribution to generate sequences, resulting in limited diversity of initial solutions.
