Pulmonary development in Squamata: Insights from embryonic studies using micro‐CT
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Pulmonary development in tetrapods is a complex process, especially within squamates, where single‐chambered, transitional, and multi‐chambered lungs can be found in adult animals. While the embryological development of the respiratory system of lizards and snakes was studied in a number of species between the 1830s and 1940s, the ...

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 284-294, April 2026.We determined the trophic associations among fig wasp species associated with Ficus citrifolia by integrating gall morphology, the temporal sequence of wasp colonization, and oviposition behaviour. Dissection of galls produced by four gall‐inducing species at a late developmental phase enabled direct identification of occupants and inference of host ...

Evaluation of Some Parameterization Models for Photon Cross Sections in Quantitative Dual‐Energy CT
X-Ray Spectrometry, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 294-302, March/April 2026.ABSTRACT Using multienergy CT with energy‐dispersive detectors and dual‐energy CT (DECT), traditional CT images can be combined to extract material parameters such as electron density (ρ e ) and effective atomic number (Z eff ). This study evaluates parameterizations for deriving ρ e and Z eff from CT numbers (HU) to generate new CT images.

Photochemistry and Photobiology, Volume 102, Issue 2, Page 480-488, March/April 2026.In this study, we developed giant plasma membrane vesicles (GPMVs) from Leishmania amazonensis promastigote membranes to investigate the role of protein‐embedded membranes in methylene blue (MB) photooxidation. Upon MB photoactivation in model lipid membranes (giant unilamellar vesicles, GUVs), a distinct photooxidation effect was observed, marked by ...

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.Wasp communities associated with fig trees, Ficus spp., are a model system to investigate how local and regional processes shape biodiversity across large geographical ranges. We investigated the β‐diversity of fig wasp assemblages associated with three widely distributed Neotropical fig species – F. citrifolia, F. obtusifolia and F. pertusa – using 27

Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT This paper addresses stories of surveillance of Brazilian critical/radical geographers, drawing on innovative sources. That is, the folders and reports through which the political police and related institutions watched critical and radical scholars during the 20th century in all Brazilian states and abroad, under both ‘dictatorial’ and ...

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 10, Page 1502-1512, December 2025.ABSTRACT Although Diptera is one of the most diverse insect orders with a high potential for pollinating plants, it remains poorly studied and neglected. This is partly due to limited taxonomic efforts in species identification. For instance, despite being primary pollinators of trap flowers, species‐level identification in these systems remains scarce.

Infant and Child Development, Volume 34, Issue 6, November/December 2025.ABSTRACT This study aimed to examine the association between children's participation in physical and sports activities and their affective subjective well‐being. Data were drawn from the Second Wave of the Children's Worlds: International Survey of Children's Well‐Being (ISCWeB), involving a sample of 913 Chilean children aged 10 and 12 years ...

3D Printed Conical Slits for Seeking Calcium Spots Among Different Tissue‐Equivalent Materials
X-Ray Spectrometry, Volume 54, Issue 6, Page 765-772, November/December 2025.ABSTRACT The identification of the chemical composition as well as the crystal structure of a microcalcification (MC) is a valuable marker for determining the type of breast neoplasm. Di‐hydrated calcium oxalate (DHCO—weddellite phase) MCs are mostly related to benign breast disease.

Effects of Landscape Characteristics on Abundance of Giant Anteaters in Intensively Farmed Areas
Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 6, November 2025.In this study, we analyzed the abundance of giant anteaters in 55 landscapes within a 34,000 km2 region that has undergone significant transformation due to intensive agricultural practices, particularly the cultivation of sugarcane. In each landscape, we used three camera traps to record the presence of this species. Our occupancy models revealed that
