Heat tolerance of Mediterranean land snails under induced dormancy in South Australia

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, Volume 190, Issue 1, January 2027.
Dry heat treatment of 60°C, for a minimum of 1 h, was shown to be an effective method to treat Cernuella virgata and Theba pisana land snails following periods of induced dormancy. The results from this project support the development of a scientifically based, environmentally friendly, safe phytosanitary treatment option to effectively control the ...

Towards a new toolbox of statistical primitives: Optimally estimating the mean of a distribution

open access: yesAI Magazine, Volume 47, Issue 4, Winter 2026.
Abstract Mean estimation is perhaps the most fundamental building block of statistics, yet the tools we use are surprisingly brittle. For example, the conventional method of using the sample mean can be made arbitrarily bad with a single extreme data point.

State policy contexts and family and friend caregiving prevalence in the United States

open access: yesAlzheimer's &Dementia: Behavior &Socioeconomics of Aging, Volume 2, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract INTRODUCTION Family and friend caregivers without market compensation provide the majority of long‐term services and supports (LTSS) in the United States, yet caregiving patterns may vary across state policy environments. METHODS We linked the AARP LTSS State Scorecard with individual‐level data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance ...

Climate Extremes and Reproductive Phenology: Regional Variability of Hatch Timing in the Subarctic North Pacific

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 4, December 2026.
The Gulf of Alaska (GOA) has experienced multiple marine heatwaves (MHWs) from 2014 to 2016 and 2019. Pacific cod hatch timing advanced by 2–4 weeks during and adjacent to MHWs (2018, 2020) at Eastern Kodiak Island, and a persistent southwest gradient with cooler waters, later hatching, and smaller changes in hatch timing during warming was present ...

Monitoring Changes in Sperm Concentration and Quality Help Improve Captive Breeding Outcomes of the Endangered Amphibian Rawlinsonia littlejohni

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 10, Page 1078-1090, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Amphibians are among the most threatened taxonomic groups, with many species experiencing rapid declines that have resulted in small, isolated populations vulnerable to inbreeding depression and reduced fertility. One major outcome of inbreeding is lowered fecundity, often linked to morphological changes in gametes.
