Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 3, September 2026.This review synthesises knowledge on killer whales across the Indo‐Pacific through the integration of published studies and collaboration. It shows that variation in killer whale occurrence, diet, and fisheries interactions is shaped by environmental heterogeneity and uneven research effort and highlights knowledge gaps with implications for ...

Material Before Morphology: Substrate‐Dependent Mechanical Tuning of Radular Teeth
Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 16, 18 August 2026.Substrate‐dependent material tuning in Clausilia radular teeth. Closely related taxa retain a conserved gross tooth morphology, but differ in elemental composition and mechanical properties according to feeding substrate. Rock‐associated taxa show increased Ca–Si enrichment and higher stiffness and hardness, especially in the central radular region ...

Electrohydraulic Folding Ring Actuators for Radially Contracting Applications
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 44, 7 August 2026.This work presents an Electrohydraulic Folding Ring Actuator that combines high‐performance electrohydraulic actuation with origami‐inspired folding geometry to achieve constricting radial actuation. This integration yields significant inner lumen constriction, alongside a gripping force capable of holding objects exceeding four times the actuator's ...

Broadening the semiaquatic scene: Quantification of long bone microanatomy across pinnipeds
The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 8, Page 2124-2150, August 2026.Abstract Investigations of bone microanatomy are commonly used to explore lifestyle strategies in vertebrates. While distinct microanatomical limb bone features have been established for exclusively aquatic and terrestrial lifestyles, identifying clear patterns for the semiaquatic lifestyle remains more challenging.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.The Pacific spiny dogfish (Squalus suckleyi) is a North Pacific shark of conservation consern that until now lacked a complete mitochondrial genome. We report its first mitogenome (16,738 bp; 37 genes), assembled from PacBio HiFi reads and recover it as sister to S.

A Generalizable Tool for Predicting Developmental Phenology for Wild Ecotherms
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.Custom hatch timing models developed for four North American Lithobates frog species. Models are parameterized from Moore (1939). Panels (A, B) shows differential developmental rates under varying thermal regimes and G × E interactions. ABSTRACT Development in poikilothermic organisms is strongly temperature‐dependent, particularly during early life ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.Climate exposure at different developmental stages exerts ontogenetically variable effects on growth in Dosidicus gigas, with ENSO impacts shifting from cold‐phase growth advantages in early life to warm‐phase advantages later in development. The timing of this shift differs between equatorial and southern groups, reflecting spatial contrasts in ...

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Heart rate is a popular proxy of physiological responses, but the highly complex and variable cardiac data obtained from organisms such as marine invertebrates pose a major challenge to efficient and accurate data processing. To address this, we developed a novel, integrative algorithm for rapid and automated cardiac data processing.

Temperature and Ultraviolet Radiation Influence the Skin Microbiome of Humpback Whales
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 15, August 2026.ABSTRACT The skin microbiome of humpback whales harbours diverse microbial communities that play a crucial role in host skin protection and environmental interaction. However, studies on cetacean skin microbiomes in the Southern Hemisphere focus on feeding grounds, with limited information on microbiome dynamics at breeding grounds and during migration
