Self‐Giving and Reflections on Life Extension: How Love Might Shape the Choice of Whether to Live Past a Natural Human Lifespan

Bioethics, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 445-452, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Drawing upon a deprivationist account of the badness of death, Ingemar Patrick Linden advocates for a hypothetical state called “contingent immortality.” The future Linden champions is one in which every person would be able to live for as long as they would like, save for events like accidents or murder.

How to Imagine Educational AI: The Filling of a Pail or the Lighting of a Fire?

Educational Theory, Volume 76, Issue 3, Page 316-338, June 2026.
Abstract Recent advances in artificial intelligence (e.g., machine learning, generative AI) have led to increased interest in its application in educational settings. AI companies hope to revolutionize teaching and learning by tailoring material to the individual needs of students, automating parts of teachers' jobs, or analyzing educational data to ...

Genome‐wide and gene‐specific DNA methylation across developmental stages in Pogonomyrmex californicus: A socially polymorphic ant

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 232-245, June 2026.
Comparison between developmental stages (larvae, pupae, worker) in Pogonomyrmex californicus revealed significant stage‐specific differences in Gene Body Methylated frequencies. Methylation sites were highly correlated between WGBS and ONT in P. californicus Genome‐wide methylation was low (~3%) and highly clustered within gene bodies (GBM), especially

Epistemic authenticity

Noûs, Volume 60, Issue 2, Page 413-432, June 2026.
Abstract There are better and worse ways to acquire epistemic virtues and more generally to be disposed to change or maintain one's epistemic dispositions over time. This is a dimension along which one might be better or worse as an epistemic agent that, we argue, cannot be explained with reference to current normative categories in epistemology but ...

Assessing the limits of delay of gratification in bumble bees

Scientific Reports
The ability to resist immediate temptation for a better, delayed outcome is thought to underpin advanced cognition. Traditionally, this ability has been studied in large-brained animals. However, to understand its evolutionary origins, it is necessary to

Silene, a versatile model system: from sex and genome evolution to ecology and speciation

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 6, Page 3613-3630, June 2026.
Summary Fundamental and applied research in evolutionary biology benefits from the use of model systems in which approaches from disparate disciplines can be integrated. Here, we review recent progress in evolutionary research on the long‐standing model system Silene, a large genus with a well‐resolved phylogeny and newly available, expanded genomic ...

Macronutrient composition in pollen affects development and survival in wild bees

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 350-362, June 2026.
Small carpenter bees (Ceratina calcarata) were reared on diets formulated with black poplar and dandelion pollen, while closely monitoring developmental metrics, lipid content and survival. Macronutrient analyses on both pollen types revealed dandelion pollen contained lower levels of protein, essential amino acids and several fatty acids, which ...

Pollinator conservation paradox: Exotic wildflowers provision native pollinators under anthropogenic changes

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Invasive wildflowers pose a conservation paradox: While they often reduce the diversity and abundance of native wildflowers, they can provide resources for native pollinators, including imperiled species. Previous work has framed wildflower invasions as outcomes of global change, but less is known about how interacting anthropogenic drivers ...
