The Weak Worker Hypothesis: a new framework for understanding division of labour in social insects

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 5-13, February 2026.
ABSTRACT In social species, group functions often benefit from variation among individual group members. Many highly integrated social insect colonies rely on division of labour among colony members and emergent properties of their collective behaviour and physiology. Response threshold models are a prominent proximate explanation of division of labour,

Experimental analysis of flapping wings

, 2016
The development of this project is oriented towards the study of force coefficients and flow structures of a pitching and plunging airfoil at low Reynolds number. The experimental setup consisted of a NACA 0012 airfoil placed in a water channel. A motion system to control the airfoil allowed for a wide range of motion configurations.

To Remove or Not Remove Non‐Conventional Dental Implants? Eleven‐Year Retrospective Study on Implant Outcomes

Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research, Volume 28, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Dental implants have become the gold standard for tooth replacement, and there are various designs for them. However, mechanical and biologic complications can necessitate implant removal. Aim To assess the challenges of dental implant removal according to implant designs through 11 years of data collected via a single‐center study.
