Are Toxic Butterflies More Easily Detected by Human ‘Predators’?
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.Aposematic signals are often thought to be conspicuous and stable across environments. Yet, butterflies can have distinct colours on their dorsal and ventral sides which contradict this prediction. We found that despite toxic butterflies having similar detectability on both sides, only dorsal detectability positively correlated with toxicity.

Increased Risk of Allergic Rhinitis Among Coal Mine Workers: A Cross‐Sectional Study
Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 11, Issue 2, April 2026.This is the first observational study estimating the associations between occupational/environmental factors in coal mines and asthma and AR among adults in a northern city in China. This study found that a longer work duration of occupational exposure in mining settings conferred a significantly increased risk of AR.

Kinetics of Elastic Recoil in the Wings of the cicada, Dundubia rufivena
Natural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.We quantify elastic recoil in cicada wings using high‐speed videography, revealing faster bending than torsional recoil. Wing stiffness increases when attached to the thorax, demonstrating a body‐wing spring system and highlighting that elastic recoil must be understood through whole‐organism mechanics rather than isolated wing properties.

PLDC‐Net: A Domain‐Specific Base Model for Plant Leaf Disease Classification Domain Adaptation Tasks
Plant Direct, Volume 10, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Plant diseases are the cause of heavy losses of crop production and, therefore, a big contributor to food shortages. Identifying these diseases as early as possible is important to limit the negative effects that these diseases have on the yields, as slow response time will lead to the spread of diseases and further loss.
