Cell-cell communication as underlying principle governing color pattern formation in teleost fishes

open access: yesNature Communications
The diverse pigmentation patterns of animals are crucial for predation avoidance and behavioral display. This diversity arises from interactions among distinct pigment cell types, yet mechanisms generating pattern variation across teleost fishes remain ...

THE EVO-DEVO AND ITS EPIGENETICS— “A NEW BIOLOGY FOR PSYCHOLOGY”? THE CASE OF INHERITANCE OF THE ATTACHMENT STYLE [PDF]

open access: yesFilozofia i Nauka
The Evolutionary Developmental Biology (in abbreviation Evo-Devo) gains in popularity among psychologists. It would be a “synthesis of development and evolution” which would finally allow a rapprochement of psychology and biology.

Contradicting Kuhn's Popular Notion of Scientific Revolution: Conservative Revolutionaries in the History of Biology

open access: yesNatural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Proposing the concept of a conservative revolutionary generally and using the examples of Gregor Mendel, Max Delbrück, and Eric Davidson, I fundamentally call into question Thomas Kuhn's ideas of scientific revolutions. I also highlight some problematic consequences of the increasing appreciation of Kuhn's work among scientists and show that ...

The Revo‐Evo Debate in the History and Philosophy of Science

open access: yesNatural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 3, July 2026.
The paper juxtaposes revolutionary and evolutionary positions in epistemology in general as well as the history of science. While it deems the evolutionary arguments more persuasive, it also stresses the dependence of our assessment of change on the language we choose to describe the theories and positions under consideration.

New Insights Into Cranial Base Ontogeny in Modern Humans Through Morphometric Analysis

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives The cranial base is located at the interface between the face, the brain, and the vertebral column. Understanding its growth is essential for elucidating key aspects of craniofacial development, neurodevelopment, and locomotor function.

Re-annotation improved large-scale assembly of the reef-building coral Acropora intermedia

open access: yesScientific Data
Acropora corals, primary reef-builders providing habitat for numerous marine species, now face novel survival pressures due to environmental changes. Acropora intermedia (Brook 1891), a significant contributor to the vibrant ecosystems of coral reefs in ...

Evo-devo of non-bilaterian animals

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2015
The non-bilaterian animals comprise organisms in the phyla Porifera, Cnidaria, Ctenophora and Placozoa. These early-diverging phyla are pivotal to understanding the evolution of bilaterian animals.

Early evolutionary history of the seed

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1511-1553, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

An Integrated Engine Control Unit for a Spark Ignited Internal Combustion Engine

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study proposes an FPGA‐based integrated engine control unit (IECU) that combines ECU and valve control functions. It introduces a piston‐direction sensor for synchronization, supports variable timing for key‐cylinder events, enables high‐resolution virtual crank‐angle timing, and implements adaptive rule‐based control to improve real‐time engine ...

Pitfalls and missing links in current understanding of 4D genomes

open access: yesQuantitative Biology, Volume 14, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract The spatial and temporal organization of the genome—collectively termed the 4D genome—is pivotal for regulating gene expression, maintaining genome stability, and guiding development. The convergence of chromosome conformation capture technologies, super‐resolution microscopy, and single‐cell epigenomics has transformed our understanding of ...
