The Painterly Materiality of Clouds in Antony and Cleopatra and Hamlet

Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines the cloud‐gazing scenes in Antony and Cleopatra and Hamlet through the lens of early modern artistic theory and material practices, particularly the art of limning. Building upon existing philosophical and poetic interpretations of Shakespearean clouds as metaphors for ephemerality and memory, the essay argues that the ...

How digitisation of herbaria reveals the botanical legacy of the First World War

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1292-1303, July 2026.
Digitisation of herbarium collections is bringing greater understanding to bear on the complexity of narratives relating to the First World War and its aftermath – scientific and societal. Plant collecting during the First World War was more widespread than previously understood, contributed to the psychological well‐being of those involved and ...

Tracing holotype trajectories: Mapping the movement of the most valuable herbarium specimens

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1304-1321, July 2026.
Global efforts to protect biodiversity depend on fair access to key plant specimens. This study examines the distribution of 119,361 holotypes—unique herbarium specimens used to formally describe new plant species. By linking collection and storage data, we found that holotypes are increasingly held closer to their places of origin, particularly in ...

A Novel Low‐Cost Technique for Three‐Dimensional Cardiopulmonary Preservation Using Internal Poly(Vinyl Acetate) (PVAc) Injection

Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia, Volume 55, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Anatomical preservation is essential for teaching and research; however, conventional formaldehyde‐based techniques present limitations due to toxicity, volatility and environmental impact. Plastination provides excellent morphological quality, but its high cost, reliance on flammable solvents and requirement for specialized equipment limit ...

Injuries in deep time: interpreting competitive behaviours in extinct reptiles via palaeopathology

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1073-1090, June 2026.
ABSTRACT For over a century, palaeopathology has been used as a tool for understanding evolution, disease in past communities and populations, and to interpret behaviour of extinct taxa. Physical traumas in particular have frequently been the justification for interpretations about aggressive and even competitive behaviours in extinct taxa.

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1406-1462, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Testing the Energetics of Gestation and Growth Hypothesis for Human Secondary Altriciality

Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The pronounced neurological immaturity, yet increased birthweight of human neonates relative to other primates, known as secondary altriciality, is traditionally attributed to obstetric constraints arising from pelvic adaptations for bipedal locomotion and childbirth—the so‐called obstetrical dilemma.

In Vitro Evaluation of Thymus serpyllum Essential Oil Against Paracoccus marcusii IBR3: A Potential Natural Protection Strategy for Historic Mural Paintings

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Historic mural paintings are highly vulnerable to microbial biodeterioration. This study reports the first identification of Paracoccus marcusii strain IBR3 on a 19th‐century Italian mural. In vitro tests revealed enzymatic activities, including casein hydrolysis and calcium carbonate dissolution, linking the strain to protein binder and mineral ...
