A neuro‐behavioural model of neophobia

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1863-1876, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Fear can be defined as the internal neurological state that releases a repertoire of behaviours an animal performs to reduce the effect of an aversive factor. Neophobia, the fear of novelty, is a fundamental behavioural trait observed across a wide range of species from arthropods to humans.

Temognatha sundholmi Lang sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), a New Species From the Great Victoria Desert and New Host Plants: An Investigation Using DNA Barcoding With Implications for Taxonomy of Temognatha and Melobasis

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT A new species of jewel beetle, Temognatha sundholmi Lang, sp. nov., is described from the Great Victoria Desert in South Australia. A broader investigation, using mtDNA COI ‘barcode’ sequences from 178 specimens representing 54 buprestid species, places the new species with Temognatha flavocincta (Gory & Laporte, 1838) in the informal ...

Physiological thresholds through early ontogeny: the effects of temperature and hydrostatic pressure on the common whelk Buccinum undatum (Linnaeus 1758)

open access: yes, 2013
The eco-physiological thresholds controlling the distribution of marine invertebrates are of significance in understanding the evolution of marine diversity. This includes the direction of species radiation throughout the oceans.

The Recent and Fossil Freshwater Gastropod Fauna of Texas [PDF]

open access: yes, 1978
Twelve freshwater gastropod families, 39 genera and 70 fossil and Recent species are recognized and systematically treated. Keys to the families, genera and species were constructed and all species are illustrated.

Neglected seed dispersers and research compartmentalisation: how much do we know about what we don't know?

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 3, Page 967-974, August 2026.
Geographic distribution of seed dispersal studies by disperser guild. Summary Seed dispersal is critical for long‐term ecosystem resilience. However, excessive compartmentalisation of research into particular disperser guilds (e.g. birds) hampers our understanding of their relative contributions to overall seed dispersal, risking erroneous conclusions ...

Paleomagnetic Constraints on the Separation of the Olongbuluke Block From the North China Block During the Late Cambrian–Middle Ordovician and Its Tectonic Significance

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract The collisional evolution of the micro‐blocks in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau is relatively well constrained. However, the reason why a fragment of the North China Block, the Olongbuluke Block, became separated from North China by the Central Qilian Block (a fragment of the South China Block) remains unclear.

Critical Status of the Endangered Limpet Patella candei in the Canary Islands: Historical Population Trend and Environmental Stressors

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The Macaronesian endemic limpet Patella candei, also known as the ‘majorera limpet’, is an endangered species with a restricted distribution limited to Fuerteventura (Canary Islands) and the Selvagens Islands (Madeira). This study assessed its current distribution and conservation status in Fuerteventura through field surveys conducted in 2022,

Three New Mitochondrial Genomes of Neritidae (Gastropoda, Neritimorpha) From China and Insights Into Their Phylogenetic Position

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study reports the newly assembled complete mitochondrial genomes for three neritid snails from China: Smaragdia rangiana, Neripteron pileolus, and Vittina cumingiana. Our phylogenetic analyses not only resolved their evolutionary positions within the established two‐subfamily framework but also identified several mislabeled public sequences ...
