Dietary Adaptation in Paranthropus robustus Postcanine Teeth
American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 4, August 2026.Upper premolar enamel thickness in Paranthropus robustus increased significantly over time, especially in the occlusal region. ABSTRACT Objectives Recent studies of Paranthropus robustus crania identified temporal trends in features associated with increased bite force production, coinciding with environmental shifts toward more arid conditions.

Broadening the semiaquatic scene: Quantification of long bone microanatomy across pinnipeds
The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 8, Page 2124-2150, August 2026.Abstract Investigations of bone microanatomy are commonly used to explore lifestyle strategies in vertebrates. While distinct microanatomical limb bone features have been established for exclusively aquatic and terrestrial lifestyles, identifying clear patterns for the semiaquatic lifestyle remains more challenging.

Reexamining Sexual and Species Recognition in Butterflies: The Partner‐Hazard Space Framework
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.Our review found no evidence that butterflies recognize the same sex or their own species. Behaviors previously interpreted as sexual or species recognition are indistinguishable from those interpreted as mate choice. Butterfly interactions can therefore be explained by assuming a sexual‐partner template that elicits mating behavior and a hazard ...
