Classifying avian drinking behaviour: ecological insights and implications in a changing world

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1851-1862, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Water is a fundamental currency of life, and its availability significantly influences animal behaviour, physiology and distributions. However, our knowledge around the dependence on water for drinking and the direct and indirect mechanisms driving related behaviours remains partial in the context of changing climates. Here, we review patterns

Five Decades of Research on Rape Myths and Victim Interpretation

Behavioral Sciences &the Law, Volume 44, Issue 4, Page 545-558, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Over the past 5 decades of social science research, scholars have examined false narratives and beliefs associated with rape and sexual assault (often called “rape myths”). This scoping review employs an innovative technique to sample and describe a large cohort of scholarly articles that investigate sexual assault victim interpretation and ...

An Analysis of Great Tit Egg Traits Across the City Mosaic: Urbanisation Does Not Affect Egg Size and Pigmentation Patterns

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Based on data from over 550 great tit (Parus major) eggs collected in the city mosaic, this research finds no effect of urbanisation on egg volume or pigmentation patterns. These results suggest that urban‐driven environmental pressures may not be as strong or directional during the egg laying phase as they are at later stages of reproduction ...

Cumulative Early‐Life Adversities Predict Short‐ and Long‐Term Survival in a Critically Endangered Lemur (Propithecus verreauxi)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Infant survival of wild Verreaux's sifakas was impacted by different cumulative indices of early adversities. Of the single factors, maternal loss, large group size and the absence of an older sibling decreased the odds of survival across the lifespan. Adversities early in life have persistent negative long‐term effects on survival.

Understanding risk perception and risk‐reducing decision‐making for surgery among individuals with a genetic predisposition to epithelial ovarian cancer

Journal of Genetic Counseling, Volume 35, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Genetic predisposition to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer and Lynch syndrome increases the risk of developing cancer, including epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Depending on the pathogenic variant, (e.g., BRCA1 or PMS2) the risk of developing EOC ranges from approximately 3%–60%.
