The Form of Agency

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Philosophers often think agency is essentially connected with rationality, intention, or control. However, Minimalists argue that agency is just the power to cause a change; acids and boulders are agents too. Many philosophers treat Minimalism as a wild outlier, assuming its falsity without argument.

Strong spatial partitioning of mesozooplankton in a dynamic frontal zone shapes trophic transfer efficiency

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Frontal zones are often areas of increased biological productivity and have hydrographic gradients on short spatial scales. The small scale of gradients poses a challenge in identifying differences in zooplankton community structure and trophic transfer efficiency through the pelagic food web.

Application of Population‐Based Meta‐Heuristic Algorithms for Robust Initialization in Mechanistic Pharmacometric Modeling

CPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Mechanistic PK/PD models represent complex biological systems in which model parameters are in nonlinear, multidimensional parameter spaces and often require robust optimization informed by experimental data, making parameter estimation a critical yet challenging aspect of pharmacometric analysis.

Accessory regions and horizontal gene transfer shape the evolution of clonal Colletotrichum nymphaeae infecting strawberry

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 2186-2205, August 2026.
Genetic diversity of strawberry‐infecting Colletotrichum isolates. Summary Rapid adaptation in fungal plant pathogens is often attributed to sexual recombination, yet many important pathogens are largely clonal. We investigated how genetic and phenotypic diversity arises in the predominantly asexual fungus Colletotrichum nymphaeae, the main cause of ...
