Ecology and evolution of pyrazines in insects

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1937-1959, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Chemical communication is the oldest and most widespread form of signalling among and within organisms. Among the many compounds involved in such communication, pyrazines – nitrogen‐containing heterocyclic molecules – are especially intriguing due to their widespread occurrence across the tree of life, from bacteria and fungi to insects and ...

Investigating Perceptions of the Eating Disorder Examination‐Questionnaire Among Undergraduate Students: A Qualitative Approach

International Journal of Eating Disorders, Volume 59, Issue 8, Page 1673-1686, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Quantitative methods that have evaluated the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE‐Q) have found consistent evidence that the original four‐factor structure does not replicate across diverse samples and genders. Emerging evidence in the broader psychology literature shows that qualitative methods can provide nuanced insight ...

Unique Population or Unique Species? Genetic Insights Into the Pygmy Freshwater Crocodiles of Northern Australia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
There is debate over whether isolated populations of “pygmy” Australian freshwater crocodiles are a unique species. This is a conservation concern as these populations face unique challenges. We found some population differences which support these populations as being ecologically unique and valuable for targeted conservation.

What do We Mean by Environmental Heterogeneity? Toward A Mechanistically Explicit and Scale‐Dependent Framework

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We synthesized 360 studies on environmental heterogeneity (EH) across taxa, regions, and disciplines. Only 10% of studies explicitly defined EH, and definitions were predominantly descriptive. We identify four operational interpretations of EH and propose a Research Roadmap linking EH metrics to five mechanistic hypotheses with testable predictions ...

A Lizard Predation Experiment Demonstrates Batesian Ant Mimicry in Camponotus lateralis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Adaptiveness of ant mimicry was tested in an experimental terrarium with eight glass bowls with three ants each using lizards as real predators (dotted lines show holes; full lines show barriers). Bowls 1, 2, 7, and 8 were stocked with inaccurate and accurate mimics, Bowls 3–6 with the model.

Computational Investigation of MHD Radiative Flow of Shape‐Dependent Al2O3$$ A{l}_2{O}_3 $$ and Fe3O4$$ F{e}_3{O}_4 $$ Nanofluids in A Semi‐Porous Channel

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
A computational study of unsteady MHD radiative nanofluid flow in a semi‐porous channel reveals that nanoparticle shape, volume fraction, and magnetic effects significantly influence velocity and heat transfer. Results highlight strong coupling between geometric, electromagnetic, and thermophysical parameters in optimizing thermal system performance ...

Managing for resilience with ecological structure: Portfolio effects in the Laurentian Great Lakes

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 24, Issue 6, August 2026.
Combined effects of global change, including land conversion, biological invasions, and overexploitation, have degraded the resilience of ecosystems and the services they provide. Here, we identify key ecological structures and processes that can be targeted by management to improve resilience at scales ranging from single species to entire landscapes.

Lectotypifications and taxonomic changes in the holoparasitic Orobanchaceae

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Based on further extensive studies of specimens in various herbaria, lectotypes are designated for many taxa of holoparasitic Orobanchaceae. In particular, 47 names in the genera Boschniakia (incl. Xylanche), Cistanche, Orobanche, Phelipanche and Phelypaea are lectotypified.

Preconditioning of Polynya Formation by Ocean Mixing at Maud Rise, Antarctica

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Antarctic open‐ocean polynyas trigger vigorous wintertime convection, influencing ocean circulation and atmospheric processes. In the Weddell Sea, interaction between the Weddell Gyre and the Maud Rise seamount generates a Taylor column that favors polynya formation.

Geolocation with a magnetic sensor

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 8, Page 2395-2407, August 2026.
Abstract Many migratory animals use spatial variation in the Earth's magnetic field for orientation and navigation. This raises the possibility of exploiting these same cues to geolocate and track migratory animals throughout their annual journeys. Magnetic‐based geolocation could be particularly valuable for small aerial and aquatic species, for which
