The expressiveness of spider diagrams augmented with constants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Spider diagrams are a visual language for expressing logical statements or constraints. Several sound and complete spider diagram systems have been developed and it has been shown that they are equivalent in expressive power to monadic first order logic ...

That sinkin’ feeling: Environmentally induced distress on a disappearing island

open access: yesMedical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Residents of Tangier Island, Virginia, a subsiding island in the Chesapeake Bay, embody psychosocial dimensions of environmental change. Analysis of ethnographic data shows islanders’ experiences and articulations of anxiety, panic, and despair as “that sinkin’ feeling,” resulting from the stress of living with the long‐term threat of imminent

Defecation in preparation for ecdysis drives microplastic clearance in cricket nymphs

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, EarlyView.
In preparation for ecdysis, cricket nymphs cease feeding and gradually clear their gut contents via frass production, which removes most ingested MPs from their digestive tract. Following exoskeletal moulting, the foregut lining, including any remaining MPs, is shed and excreted alongside frass approximately 6 h later.

open access: yesZooKeys, 2014
Spiders have become an important model to study the evolution of sociality, but a lack of their detailed natural history and taxonomy hinders broader comparative studies.

Comprehensive Ophthalmic Evaluation of Clinically Normal Rhesus Monkeys (Macaca mulatta): Selected Ophthalmic Diagnostic Tests, Tear‐Film Biochemistry and Serum Correlations, Conjunctival Microbiota and Ophthalmic Artery Haemodynamics

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 6, November 2026.
Comprehensive ophthalmic evaluation of clinically healthy rhesus monkeys identified baseline values for selected ophthalmic diagnostic tests, including STT‐1, TBUT, IOP, PFL, blink rate and ophthalmic artery haemodynamics assessed by CDI. Tear‐film biochemical analyses, serum correlations and conjunctival microbiota characterization further expanded ...

A Hidden Dimension of Caribbean Reptile Ecology: First Documentation on Nesting Behavior in a Pholidoscelis Species

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 6, November 2026.
Our first assessment of Pholidoscelis erythrocephalus nesting behavior indicates this species creates complex communal nesting sites. Considering the novelty of our nesting data for a Pholidoscelis species, this new knowledge aids our understanding of the reproductive ecology, biodemographics, and conservation of this widely distributed genus ...

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2081-2102, October 2026.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...
