Reestablishment and a new name for Actinostemon grandifolius (Müll.Arg.) Pax

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
The genus Actinostemon has undergone several changes in its circumscription due to persistent difficulties in its taxonomic placement. The taxonomic history of the genus is controversial and marked by nomenclatural issues, particularly involving its type species, Actinostemon grandifolius Klotzsch, including incorrect synonymizations and the ...

Mimic Grasping: A Modular and Flexible Programming‐by‐Demonstration Robotic Grasping Solution

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 5, Page 3175-3191, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The Industry 5.0 concept guides the industry to the premise of sustainability, resilience and human‐centric solutions. The last related pillar tries to create solutions to empower the people in production line processes since solutions should be designed to be easy to use and easy to learn without discarding the working people. In this regard,

Landscape configuration and soil properties shape ant‐mediated seed dispersal in tropical dry forest agricultural landscapes

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1476-1487, August 2026.
We show that ant‐mediated seed dispersal components respond differently to local soil conditions and landscape structure in Caatinga agricultural mosaics. Low‐intensity rainfed croplands maintained or enhanced seed removal compared to natural remnants, highlighting how small‐scale agriculture can sustain key ecological processes in human‐modified dry ...

Revision of the Elusive Harvestmen Genus Discocyrtulus Roewer, 1927 (Opiliones: Laniatores: Gonyleptidae): Investigating the Presumed Northeastern Brazilian Discocyrtus‐Like Relatives

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT A maximum parsimony analysis based on morphological characters (23 taxa; 98 characters; 1951 scorings) was conducted to test the monophyly of Discocyrtulus Roewer, 1927, and to assess its phylogenetic relationships within Gonyleptidae. The results recover the species currently assigned to Discocyrtulus as phylogenetically distant from ...

Biomechanical Analysis of 3D Printed and Thermoformed EVA Custom‐Made Mouthguard: Experimental and Finite Element Analyses

Dental Traumatology, Volume 42, Issue 4, Page 511-522, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background/Objective 3D printed materials have been evaluated for fabricating mouthguards; however, little is known about their biomechanical performance in preventing dental trauma. This study aimed to compare two 3D printed polymers and three ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) sheets used for mouthguard fabrication regarding their mechanical ...

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.

Daily Rhythms of Sex Pheromone Emission and Courtship Behaviour in the Neotropical Brown Stink Bug Euschistus heros

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 7, Page 914-922, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the chemical and behavioural ecology of the Neotropical brown stink bug, Euschistus heros (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), is essential for developing effective integrated pest management (IPM) strategies in South American soybean production. This study investigated the courtship behaviour and diel periodicity of sex pheromone emission.

Edible Coatings Based on Green Plantain Starch With Lemongrass Essential Oil Improved Postharvest Preservation of Giant Umbu

Journal of Food Process Engineering, Volume 49, Issue 8, August 2026.
Green plantain starch coatings containing nanoemulsified lemongrass essential oil effectively delayed ripening and preserved the postharvest quality of giant umbu fruits during refrigerated storage. The 0.8% essential oil formulation reduced weight loss, maintained peel color, and slowed changes in soluble solids, demonstrating a sustainable ...

Autonomic Function in Fragile X Syndrome: A Systematic Review

Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, Volume 70, Issue 8, Page 773-787, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a monogenic X‐linked cause of intellectual disability and autism. Individuals with FXS often have high levels of anxiety and sometimes display challenging behaviours. Autonomic dysfunction has been suggested to be one physiological mechanism that may contribute to these.
