DNA barcoding and geometric morphometry of tabanid flies (Diptera: Tabanidae) in Thailand and a new record of a Thai horse fly

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Tabanus tenens identified in this study is a newly recorded species in Thailand. DNA barcoding using the cox1 gene identified tabanid species in the present study. WGM data from different sites served as a reference for species identification. Abstract Tabanid flies are gaining high medical and veterinary importance due to their role as a vector of ...

Values in politics: Exploring alignment between value salience in political texts, value importance in representative population samples, and political engagement

Political Psychology, Volume 47, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Values are central to human behavior and politics; however, we do not know much about which values are expressed in political texts and how these values align with those that are important to the larger population and those that relate to political engagement.

Physicochemical, rheological, sensory, microbiological, and oxidative properties of canned pâtés reformulated with hydrated pea protein as a fat replacer

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 4, Page 2231-2241, 15 March 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to evaluate the technological and sensory feasibility of partially replacing pork fat with hydrated pea protein in canned pâtés, using different hydration levels. Six formulations were prepared: one Control (100% pork fat) and five treatments (G1:1, G1:2, G1:3, G1:4, and G1:5), in which 50% of the fat

Geographical Variation in Skull Morphology of a Wild Rodent (Orientallactaga sibirica) Across Environmental Gradients

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
The greatest morphological differences are observed between the northeastern regions of China and the Qinghai‐Tibet regions. Elevation and temperature are the primary climatic factors causing morphological variation. Compared to the current period, the future suitable habitat area for Five‐toed jerboa is expected to decrease and shift toward higher ...

Physicochemical, Functional, Sensory Properties and Willingness to Consume Porridge Made From Composite Flours of Maize, Soybean, and Ripe Plantain

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study aims to enhance the nutritional quality of maize porridge, a popular meal in many developing countries, by adding soybean and ripe plantain flours which are rich in protein and β‐carotene, respectively. The addition of soybean and ripe plantain to form composite flour did not affect water binding, swelling power, and viscosity compared to ...
