Fragmented grasslands in different landscape structures provide different opportunities for cavity‐nesting Hymenoptera

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Grassland fragmentation effects on cavity‐nesting Hymenoptera are habitat‐specific. Isolated sand steppe fragments are associated with higher brood‐cell abundance. In loess steppes, higher flower frequency increases bee brood‐cell production and parasitoid activity. Abstract The global decline in insects threatens ecosystem functioning, but the drivers

An Analysis of Single Clutch Paternity in the Burrower Bug Sehirus cinctus Using Microsatellites

Journal of Insect Behavior, 2003
Recent studies of the burrower bug, Sehirus cinctus, have examined the genetic basis of parental care. An understanding of the burrower bug mating system, and the subsequent pattern of offspring relatedness that this system generates, is critical to further interpret genetic data.

Labiolingual thickness and cross‐sectional area in callitrichid incisors

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Many primates gouge to extract gums or saps from trees as part of their diet. Gouging callitrichid monkeys are characterized by lower incisors that are labiolingually thicker than non‐gougers, however, their incisors are not any larger in cross‐section. This difference may provide key insight into the gouging behavior of fossil primates.

From sagittal to sprawled: Clavicular co‐option and the evolution of forelimb mechanics in talpines

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Forelimb posture in Eulipotyphla divides into sagittal and sprawled groups with distinct scapular and clavicular orientations. First true rib strength scales with body mass, reflecting vertical ground reaction forces, whereas clavicular strength reflects differences in medially directed forces on the pectoral girdle, especially pronounced in highly ...

Everyday Stressors and Sense of Purpose: The Role of Stressor‐Related Opportunities for Goal Pursuit

Journal of Personality, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study examined whether everyday stressor occurrence is associated with lower sense of purpose, and whether this association depends on stressor‐related goal opportunities, the Big Five personality traits, or trait purpose. Methods Data came from the Daily Experiences and Health Study (N = 236, ages 25–87).

Intraspecific Variation in Reproductive Aspects of Female Soldier Crabs, Mictyris guinotae, Between the River Mouth and Upper Reach Habitats

Marine Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The soldier crab, Mictyris guinotae, is a dominant intertidal crustacean associated with sand flats in the vicinity of the Urauchi River estuary on Iriomote Island, Japan. We compared various aspects of its reproductive biology at two sites (the river mouth and upper reach) on exposed bare sand flats 300 m and 3000 m upstream from the mouth ...

Play in Cognitive Development: From Rational Constructivism to Predictive Processing

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract It is widely believed that play and curiosity are key ingredients as children develop models of the world. There is also an emerging consensus that children are Bayesian learners who combine their structured prior beliefs with estimations of the likelihood of new evidence to infer the most probable model of the world.

The influence of haemoglobin–O2 affinity on aerobic capacity in hypoxia in high‐altitude deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus)

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The influence of haemoglobin–O2 affinity on aerobic capacity in hypoxia has been contentious. Many high‐altitude natives have greater haemoglobin–O2 affinity (lower P50, the O2 pressure at 50% haemoglobin saturation) than their low‐altitude counterparts, but the advantages of this change for aerobic metabolism have often remained

Observations on the Burrow Structures and Larval Behavior of Ephoron shigae (Takahashi, 1924) (Ephemeroptera: Polymitarcyidae) in River Sediments

International Review of Hydrobiology, Volume 111, Issue 2, December 2026.
ABSTRACT The larvae of the mayfly Ephoron shigae (Takahashi, 1924) (Ephemeroptera: Polymitarcyidae) inhabit distinctive U‐shaped burrows in river and lake sediments, yet their ecology remains poorly documented. Using newly developed mechatronic technology, we obtained continuous observations that revealed new aspects of larval behavior.

Insights into biomass accumulation and challenges in grain yield prediction of elite breeding materials using UAV‐based vegetation indices in soft red winter wheat

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract High‐throughput phenotyping (HTP) techniques have brought new opportunities to understand and evaluate key traits in plant breeding programs. Combining multiple measures through time and random regression models permits a more comprehensive understanding of the genetic and environmental effects on trait expression over time. This study aims to
