She Doesn't Whisper: Female‐Prominent Stridulation Shaped by Morphology in a Buthid Scorpion and Insights on Its Function

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 8, Page 533-543, August 2026.
Sexual dimorphism and stress‐induced stridulatory responses in Jaguajir rochae (Borelli, 1910). Females exhibited greater absolute pectinal size and higher sound pressure levels, whereas males showed higher pectinal allometric ratios relative to body size, lower sound frequencies, and shorter delta times.

Spatial Scale Modulates the Effect of Habitat Amount on Diversity Patterns of Arachnid Assemblages Across Different Brazilian Ecosystems

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim We evaluated how native vegetation cover influences the diversity of arachnid assemblages across multiple spatial scales in major Brazilian ecosystems. Location Brazil (Amazon and Atlantic rainforests, Cerrado savanna and Caatinga dry forest). Taxon Arachnida (Opiliones, Pseudoscorpiones and Scorpiones). Methods We sampled arachnids at 120

How Food Geometry and Toughness Influence Ingestive Patterns in Lemurs

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 7, July 2026.
Initial bite placement is influenced by food toughness and geometry. Species‐specific feeding strategies reflect differences in masticatory morphology and functional flexibility. Lemur catta is more likely to use the postcanine tooth row; Propithecus verreauxi prefers anterior biting. ABSTRACT We investigate the extent to which food toughness, geometry,

Early Communicative‐Language Emergence: Identification of Late Talkers and Parental Perceptions of a Web‐Based Parent‐Report Assessment Tool

Infant and Child Development, Volume 35, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Evidence on communicative‐language development paths across children with and without a late language emergence (LLE) is mixed, particularly concerning socio‐conversational skills (SCS) and executive functions (EFs). We administered a web‐based communicative‐language assessment completed by parents of 202 children aged 24–36 months.

Temporal and nontemporal control in a midsession reversal task with variable intertrial intervals

Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, Volume 126, Issue 1, July 2026.
Abstract To assess the degree of temporal control in the midsession reversal task, pigeons learned a simultaneous discrimination with two stimuli, S1 and S2. Choices of S1 were reinforced on the first 40 trials and choices of S2 on the last 40. Variable intertrial intervals (ITIs) separated the trials.

Social roles and resource competition mediate intraspecific interactions of Chilean Flamingo (Phoenicopterus chilensis) in southern Brazil

Journal of Zoology, Volume 329, Issue 3, Page 257-270, July 2026.
In social birds such as flamingos, intraspecific interactions are frequent and play a key role in flock cohesion, communication, and the establishment of social networks. Understanding the patterns and drivers of these interactions can provide valuable ecological insights and inform management, husbandry, and conservation practices.

A sensory ecology approach to understanding snakebites: Influence of sensory cues on the strike of the lancehead pitviper

Journal of Zoology, Volume 329, Issue 3, Page 237-246, July 2026.
Snakes are notable for having a broad range of predators and one of the most diverse repertoires of defensive behaviors. During heightened responses to aversive stimuli, one of the behaviors displayed is the venomous bite, particularly relevant because it triggers snakebite incidents in humans.
