Anatomical Investigation Reveals a Second Olfactory System in Locusts

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 534, Issue 8, August 2026.
We traced chemosensory pathways from locust palps through the central nervous system. Olfactory input from basiconic sensilla targets the glomerular lobe and accessory calyx, whereas gustatory input is restricted to gnathal circuits. Thus, the palp and antennal olfactory pathways form parallel but separate systems.

Concordance of a Structured Orthopantomogram Reporting Tool Between Dental Practitioners, and Compared to Routine Reports Within a Regional and Remote Service

Clinical and Experimental Dental Research, Volume 12, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Variability in interpreting orthopantomograms can have greater impact on regional and remote patients who experience poorer oral health, have reduced service access and incur greater costs, if referred to out‐of‐community services. Structured orthopantomogram reporting and specialist advice pathways may support more consistent image

Reexamining Sexual and Species Recognition in Butterflies: The Partner‐Hazard Space Framework

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Our review found no evidence that butterflies recognize the same sex or their own species. Behaviors previously interpreted as sexual or species recognition are indistinguishable from those interpreted as mate choice. Butterfly interactions can therefore be explained by assuming a sexual‐partner template that elicits mating behavior and a hazard ...

A primer on forest structure measurement with lidar for ecologists

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Light detection and ranging (lidar) technology has fundamentally advanced the way we measure forest structure, facilitating new insights into ecological processes. Lidar for forest ecology applications is deployed on multiple types of platforms that operate from the ground, air, or space, and each has associated strengths and limitations ...

Evaluating novel attachment methods for tracking devices on terrestrial mammals

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.
We deployed GNSS tracking devices on 2 endangered large terrestrial mammals, scimitar‐horned oryx and Przewalski's horses, using novel attachment methods. Tags achieved fix success rates and spatial accuracy that compare well with standard collars used on large mammals.

Taxonomic novelties in subgenus Euphorbia (Euphorbiaceae) from South India

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Extensive floristic explorations throughout southern India have uncovered some noteworthy taxonomic additions within the subgenus Euphorbia (Euphorbiaceae). Three distinct taxa of Euphorbia are described and illustrated herein as E. sankarensis, E. bahalita and E. tortilis var. mysorensis.

Dress for success: climate pressures predict fur insulation and body size in natural and reintroduced populations of a threatened marsupial

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Phenotypic variation in functional traits underpins responses to environmental gradients, influencing thermoregulation, energy balance, and long‐term persistence under climate extremes. Climate change is altering these gradients globally, yet in species that have already disappeared from much of their range, adaptive phenotypes may have also been lost,

‘They are not predators: They are a higher power’—Relational values and principles framing human–predator relationship in Noongar Country, Southwestern Australia

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2682-2699, August 2026.
Abstract Human–predator coexistence presents urgent conservation challenges that demand approaches extending beyond mere conflict mitigation. Indigenous knowledge systems, though historically marginalised by Western science, offer vital insights into ethical, sustainable relationships with nature.

Molecular phylogenetics of Thymelaeaceae‐Thymelaeoideae: Resolving the paraphyly of Gnidia and a new monophyletic generic classification for the group

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Earlier phylogenetic analyses of the family Thymelaeaceae using combined plastid (matK, rbcL, rps16, trnL‐F) and nuclear (ITS) regions showed that the African‐Malagasy genus Gnidia was extensively polyphyletic in relation to the southern African genera Lachnaea, Passerina and Struthiola, as well as to other Southern Hemisphere genera such as ...
