Establishing Hierarchical Classification Responding: Directly Trained and Emergent Responses

open access: yesBehavioral Interventions, Volume 41, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Hierarchical classification responding (HCR) describes a collection of responses that require discrimination of logical relationships between stimuli based on their position in a categorical hierarchy. This study established HCR for a new hierarchy in young children through discrete trial instruction.

Depositional and stratigraphic evolution of a Permian megalake system: Implications for seiche‐influenced models

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 2, April 2026.
During the Late Permian, the rise of the Gondwanides Belt trapped marine waters, giving birth to a vast megalake. This lake shifted between overfilled, balanced‐fill and underfilled stages that are recorded by high‐frequency accommodation changes, while meteorological seiches shaped the sedimentary dynamic and produced heterolithic beds.

Phylogenetic Analyses of True Ladybirds (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae: Coccinellini) Reveal Directionality in Diet Evolution and Support a Boreotropical Origin of the Tribe

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
A newly generated large‐scale molecular phylogeny of true ladybirds (Coccinellini) clarifies their evolutionary relationships and supports a boreotropical origin in the Paleocene, with multiple independent southward dispersals. Ancestral diet reconstructions suggest an initial specialization on aphids, followed by expansions in host range and ...

Forest Disturbance Drives Changes in the Functional Traits of Soil Bacteria: A Metagenomic Study of Kauri (Agathis australis) Forest Ecosystems

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study reveals how ecological disturbances reshape the structure and function of soil bacterial communities in kauri forests, which are critical for ecosystem resilience. By linking disturbance regimes to shifts in bacterial diversity and functional capacity, it highlights the wider effects of ecosystem disturbance on soil ecological function ...

ENHYDROSS: A New Mechanistic Model Supports the Trans‐Oceanic Dispersal Capability of Terrestrial Vertebrates

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We introduce ENHYDROSS, a new mechanistic model that uses optimal swimming speed and minimum cost of transport to estimate maximum dispersal distances and durations for vertebrates, enabling assessment of long‐distance oceanic dispersal potential. Applied to a range of extant and extinct animals, the model's estimates generally align with observed data;

Mitochondrial Phylogenomics and Genome Evolution in Anura: Insights From Structure and Gene Order Rearrangements

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
By analyzing 277 anuran mitochondrial genomes, this study reconstructs a robust phylogeny for frogs and toads, tracing their origins to the Triassic and major radiations to the Cretaceous‐Neogene. The research identifies 58 distinct gene arrangement patterns, providing a novel evolutionary framework.

A Database of Low‐Temperature Thermochronology in East Asia

open access: yesGeoscience Data Journal, Volume 13, Issue 2, April 2026.
Spatial distribution of low‐temperature thermochronology samples in East Asia. ABSTRACT The low closure temperature of the dating system in low‐temperature thermochronology allows shallow crustal movements to be recorded. In recent decades, this approach has been used extensively in studies of orogenic belt exhumation, sedimentary basin evolution, and ...

Plate tectonics in the microscopy realm: Molecular insights into morphological variability of Peridinium willei (Peridiniales, Dinophyceae)

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 75, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Freshwater Peridinium willei (Peridiniaceae) is globally distributed, but reports linking its morphologies with DNA sequence data remain scarce. The taxonomy of the species, and its infraspecific taxa, remain ambiguous due to the lack of DNA sequence data for the original and type material.
