The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Comparison of a Miniaturized Implantable Two‐Stage Rotodynamic Blood Pump to Equivalent Single‐Stage Concepts

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
This study aims to evaluate the potential of a multistage pump design to enhance hemocompatibility in left ventricular assist devices. We found that the two‐stage concept offers favorable hemolysis measures compared to single‐stage designs, as the reduction in peak shear stresses outweighs the disadvantage associated with prolonged residence time ...

Hoffmann's two‐toed sloth II: Muscle architectural properties in the thoracic limb of Choloepus (Pilosa: Xenarthra)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Two‐toed sloths use their thoracic limbs for more frequent and greater suspensory support than three‐toed sloths and have muscle architectural properties consistent with stability of the pectoral girdle, enhanced flexor force/torque applied at the shoulder and elbow joints, and grip on the support as indicated by their myology. Abstract Two‐toed sloths

In Vitro Aligners Force Analysis in the Maxillary Arch During En‐Masse Retraction With Different Attachment Positions

Orthodontics &Craniofacial Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to analyse the three‐dimensional forces acting on maxillary teeth with aligners activation of en‐masse retraction based on the different attachment positions in vitro. Methods Three groups were designed for the same 0.25 mm en‐masse retraction forces with three different attachment positions.

Effect of repeated hot water immersion on muscle strength, power, function and physical activity in healthy older adults: A randomised crossover trial

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ageing leads to an increased prevalence of sarcopenia and frailty, characterised by progressive declines in muscle strength, power and function and reduced physical activity. Hot water immersion (HWI) could potentially improve muscle function, but this is yet to be explored in older adults.

Elucidating the Transition Kernel and Anharmonic Coupling in the Spin‐crossover Process of a [FeIII(qsal)2] CH3OSO3 Complex

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 20, 11 May 2026.
Ultrafast broadband transient absorption spectroscopy and multireference excited‐state nonadiabatic calculations in an open‐shell Fe(III) complex unveil the rich electronic and vibrational dynamics detailing the key reactive modes driving the spin‐crossover process.

Panoramic voltage‐sensitive optical mapping of contracting hearts using cooperative multiview motion tracking with 12 cameras

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstact figure legend A panoramic 3D optical mapping system was developed, enabling imaging of action potential waves across the entire strongly deforming ventricular surface of beating isolated hearts. The system comprises 12 high‐speed cameras and a soccerball‐shaped imaging chamber with 48 light‐emitting diodes (LEDs).
