Longitudinal Evaluation of Otoacoustic Emissions as a Screening Tool for High‐Frequency Hearing Loss in Adolescents

open access: yesOtolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, Volume 175, Issue 2, Page 480-486, August 2026.
Abstract Objective To investigate the association between distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) signal‐to‐noise ratios (SNRs) and pure‐tone audiometry (PTA) thresholds in adolescents, both cross‐sectionally at age 18 and longitudinally by evaluating whether DPOAE SNRs at age 13 predict high‐frequency hearing loss (HFHL) at age 18.

Microbial Pressure and Social Immunity: Bumble Bees Increase Brood Hygiene After Exposure to a Bacillus thuringiensis‐Based Biopesticide

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
In social insect colonies, diseased or dead brood is identified and removed by workers to prevent the infection of the whole colony. Here, bumble bee larvae exposed to a bacterium (Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. aizawai (strain: ABTS‐1857)) based biopesticide were removed more frequently than wounded or untreated control larvae. This shows that bumble bee
