Mandible composition and properties in two selected praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2298-2314, September 2026.
Abstract Insects process their food with their cuticle‐based mouthparts. These feeding structures reflect their diversity and can, in some cases, showcase adaptations in material composition, mechanical properties, and shape to suit their specific dietary preferences.

A perspective from the Mesozoic: Evolutionary changes of the mammalian skull and their influence on feeding efficiency and high‐frequency hearing

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2315-2330, September 2026.
Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

Alleged Histories of Child Maltreatment in Buddhist Monasteries in Sri Lanka as Revealed by Adult Survivors

open access: yesChild Abuse Review, Volume 35, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT In Sri Lanka, there are more than 12,000 Buddhist monasteries where children as young as 5, mainly from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, are ordained with the expectation of becoming life‐long monks. Although child ordination is identical to the placement of a child in alternative care, it is carried out entirely on the discretion of the ...

Circulating tumour DNA to guide rechallenge with cetuximab plus irinotecan in RAS/BRAF wild‐type metastatic colorectal cancer: A nonrandomised clinical trial

open access: yesClinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
For patients with refractory mCRC and preserved RAS/BRAF wild‐type status, ctDNA‐guided rechallenge of cetuximab combined with irinotecan represents a viable therapeutic avenue, offering durable disease control without compromising tolerability. Our findings underscore that optimising the screening time interval is crucial for maximising therapeutic ...

Differences in Parasite Infection Status and Behavior Between a Clonal Fish and Her Sexually Reproducing Heterospecifics

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
We found that Amazons and Sailfins differed in their qualitative, but not quantitative, resistance to parasites. Amazons had worse qualitative resistance (i.e., were more likely to be infected with at least one parasite) and spent more time in the open, riskier portion of the assay arena. Parasite prevalence and load differed between our two collection

Population Status, Ecology and Conservation Challenges of Cattle Egrets (Bubulcus ibis), Especially in the Southern Africa Subregion: A Systematic Review and Evidence Synthesis

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
The Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis) occupies a wide range of natural and human‐modified habitats, yet research effort across its range is highly uneven. Our systematic review of 173 studies synthesises patterns in population trends, habitat use, breeding ecology, threats and ecosystem services, revealing strong geographic and thematic biases in available ...
