The Role of Cognitive Sophistication in Science Capital

Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Science capital, a collection of science‐related forms of capital, promotes access to and utilization of scientific information, which is integral in a time of flourishing anti‐science attitudes. Nonetheless, it is not yet known which individual‐level characteristics are associated with science capital.

Limits to Language Prediction: Findings From Diverse Populations

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract For a model in cognitive science to adequately explain cognitive processes across different populations, empirical findings from diverse participant groups are essential. This paper selectively reviews studies that investigated prediction in different populations and discusses what they reveal about the mechanisms and role of language ...

Bilateral simultaneous cataract surgery and intraocular lens implantation in an adult female chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) inducing monovision

Veterinary Ophthalmology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 457-464, March 2025.
Abstract Background Cataract is the major cause of visual impairment in humans. Phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is the standard technique for cataract treatment with a high success rate. In a few cases, the surgical cataract procedure and lens implantation have been applied in non‐human primates.

Evaluation of LiDAR‐based canopy trait estimation in Midwestern row crops

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Stand count, the number of plants per unit ground area, and leaf area index (LAI), the ratio of leaf area to ground area, are critical traits for crop research but are traditionally measured using labor‐intensive methods. While new sensing technologies are being developed, quantifying improvement in measurement efficiency and data quality ...

Environmental Context of Hominin Foot Evolution

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 191, Issue 2, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives This study investigates the environmental contexts that influenced the evolution of hominin foot morphology, focusing on when, where, and under what conditions key synapomorphies evolved. We test whether shifts in ecological conditions are associated with changes in locomotor function.

Utterance evolution: the road to generative, combinatorial communicators

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2427-2447, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Language has long been considered uniquely complex in the animal kingdom; however, animal research over the last decade has begun to challenge some long‐standing premises about exactly which language capacities are uniquely human. The task of resolving why and how complex communication systems evolve, particularly human language, has ...
