Occurrence and evolution of cannibal behaviour in extant snakes

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 644-664, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Extant snakes (Serpentes) are a highly diverse group of squamate reptiles, which have independently evolved key morphological adaptations to consume a large variety of vertebrate and invertebrate prey. While these predator–prey interactions have been widely addressed by several studies, little is known regarding the occurrence of cannibal ...

Abiotic drivers of co‐occurrence and diversity patterns of Calopterygidae species in Amazonian protected freshwaters

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 235-249, April 2026.
Species co‐occurrences rely on their ability to explore similar or distinct available resources, and possible niche overlap can prevent their presence and establishment in a given site Damselflies of the Calopterygidae family demonstrated negative co‐occurrences in streams inside and outside PAs, highlighting that their ecological similarity is ...

Influence of Dual Heat Treatment on the Metallurgy and Mechanical Behaviour of Diamond‐Like Carbon–Coated NiTi Rotary Systems: A Multimethod Investigation

International Endodontic Journal, Volume 59, Issue 4, Page 708-717, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To investigate how the application of dual heat treatment during the manufacturing process influences the mechanical performance (flexibility, cyclic fatigue resistance, torsional strength, bending, buckling and cutting efficiency) of rotary nickel‐titanium endodontic instruments. Methodology Rainbow One (n = 58) and Rainbow Ultra (n = 58)

Applying the Ecological Trap Concept to Cetaceans

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Wild animals may select poor‐quality habitats due to mismatches between perceived and actual habitat quality, creating ecological traps. Although well explored in terrestrial systems, this concept remains underutilized for marine species.

Seasonal Occurrence and Behavior of an Endangered Franciscana Dolphin (Pontoporia blainvillei pukusi) Population

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The franciscana dolphin (Pontoporia blainvillei) is a threatened cetacean whose northernmost population (Franciscana Management Area Ia)—part of the recently described subspecies P. b. pukusi—faces significant anthropogenic pressures, including impacts from a major mining dam collapse.

Seasonal and Interannual Variation of Common Dolphin, Delphinus delphis, Density in Portuguese Waters

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Modeling a species' ecology and abundance provides important insights into its habitat preferences, population trends, and distribution. Here, we studied how environmental factors relate to common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) density in waters off mainland Portugal.

Bacteriophage and Fusidic Acid Have Synergistic Effect Against Meticillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius in Ex Vivo Canine Dermis Model

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 37, Issue 2, Page 200-210, April 2026.
Background: Antimicrobial stewardship has become vital given the progressive emergence of multidrug‐resistant bacteria, and novel approaches to the treatment of bacterial infections are needed. Recently, reported synergistic effects of antibacterial drugs and bacteriophage therapy have revealed promising applications for the management of meticillin ...
