Social media highlights the overlooked impact of cats on arthropods
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 2, Page 460-465, March 2026.The impact of domestic cats on vertebrate biodiversity is unequivocal; however, we still know little about their effects on arthropods. By analysing over 17,000 photos and videos from social media platforms (iStock and TikTok), we documented 550 predation events of cats on arthropods.

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 2, Page 243-253, March 2026.ABSTRACT Previous studies on Cydia pomonella eggs have demonstrated reliable egg adhesion to the leaves and fruits of various apple cultivars. In contrast to biological substrates, this study is focused on standardised synthetic substrates to measure egg pull‐off forces and determine adhesive strength, allowing for an unbiased comparison with other ...

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 3, Page 490-500, March 2026.We present a method of injecting peripheral nerves with radiopaque contrast and subsequent CT scanning that produces excellent 3D models of the nerves, leaving the specimens intact and ready for further analysis (e.g., for micro‐CT or histology). Abstract The peripheral nervous system has been the subject of various studies on topics ranging from the ...

X‐ray computed tomography study of terrestrial analog cores in preparation for Mars sample return
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 405-426, March 2026.Abstract Mars Sample Return (MSR) is expected to transform planetary science by providing unprecedented access to pristine Martian material. Initial characterization in the sample receiving facility (SRF) will rely on nondestructive techniques such as X‐ray computed tomography (XCT) to document the condition, distribution, and internal features of ...

Al‐Khadhaf: The first camera‐observed (H5–6) meteorite fall from Oman
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 522-547, March 2026.Abstract A fireball camera system installed in 2022 by the Oman Meteorite Monitoring Project (OMMP) as part of the Global Fireball Observatory (GFO) recorded a 3.2 s fireball on March 8, 2022 at 8:15 p.m. UTC. A meteoroid of 4 ± 2 kg entered the atmosphere at 14.0 km/s.
