Sentience in cephalopod molluscs: an updated assessment
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1311-1333, June 2026.ABSTRACT This article evaluates the evidence for sentience – the capacity to have feelings – in cephalopod molluscs: octopus, cuttlefish, squid, and nautilus. Our framework includes eight criteria, covering both whether the animal's nervous system could support sentience and whether their behaviour indicates sentience.

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1406-1462, June 2026.ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Hypotheses for the Adaptive Maintenance of Phenotypic Polymorphisms
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Phenotypic polymorphisms offer easily observable diversity ideal for empirical and theoretical exploration, but developing and comparing hypotheses for the adaptive maintenance of polymorphism can be a challenge. Here, we propose a framework categorizing polymorphisms based on (i) one of five distinct types of maintenance selection and (ii) the context

On the occurrence of the crab-louse (Phthirus pubis: Anoplura) in the hair of the head
Parasitology, 1941 Over 3000 samples of hair from the scalp have been examined from four places in Africa and three in Asia. In every sample (except one small one) infestations of crab-lice (Phthirus pubis) were found; in each place they were found in less than 1% of heads.The view is emphasized that the crab-louse has several ways of spreading through the human ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Seaward mangrove edge exhibited significant retreat after extreme disturbances. Rhizophora stylosa exhibited impaired regeneration and root damage in heavily disturbed areas, trait variation primarily responded to elevation and sediment properties, vegetation loss triggered subsidence, creating a positive biogeomorphic feedback loop.

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.This review reveals major genetic data gaps for Philippine mangrove fauna, especially invertebrates, limiting species‐level eDNA detection. By compiling 48 years of biodiversity records and assessing reference library coverage, it highlights the need for targeted sequencing and shows how integrating eDNA with conventional surveys strengthens monitoring

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.Clostridium perfringens forms heat‐resistant spores that complicate food safety. Physical methods (thermal processing, HPP, vacuum cooling, ozone treatments) and chemical interventions (natural antimicrobials, phosphates, nitrate/nitrite, organic acids) reduce vegetative cells and spores, though spore resistance remains a major challenge in food and ...

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Marine cone snails produce a diverse array of bioactive peptides, known as conotoxins, in their venom. Given their high target potency and specificity, conotoxins are attractive compounds for the development of precision research tools and pharmacological agents.
