Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.A bicycle dragon (Ctenophorus cristatus) consumes a Jan's banded snake (Simoselaps bertholdi) near the Gawler Ranges National Park in South Australia. This observation is unusual because vertebrate prey make up a vanishingly small portion of the Ctenophorus dragon diet.

Spider Mites: Genetic Models to Inform Herbivore and Chelicerate Biology
BioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 5, May 2026.Chelicerates include spiders, scorpions and ticks, and also spider mites that damage crops. Many of the features that make spider mites crop pests have facilitated their adoption as genetically tractable chelicerates. The expanding genetic toolkit developed using spider mites has potential to inform genetic studies in other chelicerates as well ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.This study addresses the ecological role of coarse woody debris (CWD) as a thermally buffered microhabitat for saproxylic organisms in temperate eastern US forests. We measured internal and external log temperatures across four seasons in Southern Appalachian forests to test how log diameter, decay stage, and moisture influence thermal buffering.

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.Biodiversity dynamics in heterogeneous landscapes is the result of a complex interplay between movement processes of organisms within and between habitat patches, and niche filtering processes due to spatially varying environmental conditions. Disentangling the relative influences of these different processes on community assembly and dynamics is a ...

BACKWARD INDUCTION: MERITS AND FLAWS
Studies in Logic, Grammar and Rhetoric, 2017 Backward induction (BI) was one of the earliest methods developed for solving finite sequential games with perfect information. It proved to be especially useful in the context of Tom Schelling’s ideas of credible versus incredible threats.

A revision of Praearcturus gigas: a giant scorpion from the Lower Devonian (Lochkovian) of Britain
Palaeontology, Volume 69, Issue 3, 2026.Abstract Praearcturus gigas Woodward is a large arthropod of disputed affinity from the fluvial St Maughans Formation (Lower Devonian, Lochkovian) of the Old Red Sandstone of England and Wales. Originally described as an isopod in the nineteenth century, and subsequently compared to various arthropod groups, it was re‐described with limited ...
