Interindividual Variation in Chronic Inflammation in Northern Lao People's Democratic Republic

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives In many rural regions of developing countries, increasing market access is reshaping local food systems. Traditional diets rooted in local agriculture are being replaced by market‐driven alternatives. It is suspected that this dietary transition will contribute to rising risks of non‐communicable diseases through increased chronic ...

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 ...

Food Availability Cannot Explain Dispersal and Settlement Decisions of a Grassland Bird

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We test a commonly assumed explanation for animal movements—namely that food availability shapes where animals disperse to. Based on the results of four strong predictions, 3 years of data, and hundreds of individual birds, we show that food cannot explain breeding dispersal in this system, and we propose alternative explanations consistent with our ...
