SMART: Speedy Measurement of Arabidopsis Rosette Traits

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Most computer vision‐ and machine learning‐based plant phenotyping systems compute traits such as shape and size rather than the color distribution of the plant surface, even though color can provide important insights into plant physiology. Therefore, we developed Speedy Measurement of Arabidopsis Rosette Traits (SMART), an open‐source plant ...

The impact of urbanisation on social behaviour: a comprehensive review

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 1003-1035, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Urbanisation is a key driver of global environmental change and presents animals with novel stressors and challenges. It can fundamentally influence social behaviour and has the potential to reshape within‐ and between‐species social interactions. Given the role of social behaviour in reproductive fitness and survival, understanding how social

Construct Validity and Reliability of a Virtual Reality Cricket Batting Simulator

European Journal of Sport Science, Volume 26, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Virtual reality technologies offer sports performance organisations new possibilities for measuring and enhancing performance. This is particularly the case in cricket where training is significantly constrained by weather and seasons, but game understanding is vital to high‐level performance.

Prevalence and Mechanisms of Sustained Force Production in the Musculature of the Southern Alligator Lizard (Elgaria multicarinata)

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 3, Page 272-281, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The southern alligator lizard (Elgaria multicarinata) exhibits prolonged mate‐holding behavior. This behavior maybe be underpinned by a phenomenon known as sustained force, observed in the jaw muscles of this species, in which the muscle fails to relax between subsequent contractions.

A Targeted BLAST‐CAP3 Workflow for Rapid and Reproducible Mitochondrial Gene Assembly From Public Transcriptomes: Acheta domesticus as a Model

Natural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
A streamlined transcriptome‐based workflow is presented for rapid and reproducible assembly of the mitochondrial COX1 gene. RNA‐Seq datasets are filtered using BLAST to extract target reads, followed by de novo assembly with CAP3 and validation via ClustalW and BLASTn.

Rainfall shapes the physiological condition, but not the body size, of an introduced dung beetle in Brazilian pastures

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 346-355, April 2026.
Understanding rainfall‐driven physiological shifts in dung beetles is crucial to predict how climate change may affect the fitness and persistence of key insect species in tropical pastures. We compared body size, dry, lipid and muscle masses of Digitonthophagus gazella collected during dry and rainy seasons in Brazilian pastures to assess the effects ...

Environmental stress influences reproductive success in male spider mites

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 414-423, April 2026.
This experiment explores how male juvenile food stress impacts reproductive traits in the haplodiploid spider mite Tetranychus urticae. Males exposed to juvenile food stress had lower reproductive success and females mated to these males also suffered reduced fitness as they were not able to produce optimal offspring sex ratios. The negative effects of

Between IT Engineer and Food Courier: How Remittances Shape the Economic Integration of South Asian Students in Finland

Global Networks, Volume 26, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines the economic integration processes of student migrants from Pakistan and India in Finland—both students on scholarships and those who are self‐funded—drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and life story interviews. Transnational family ties and remittance dynamics are shown to shape varied career pathways, from low‐skilled ...
