Biological Individuality and Fallacies of Composition

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Within the philosophy of biology, there is widespread acceptance of pluralism about biological individuality, according to which there are (at least) two theoretically important but distinct properties with a claim to the label “biological individuality”: evolutionary individuality and physiological individuality.

Cognitive Symbionts. Expanding the Scope of Cognitive Science With Fungi

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract It has been argued that fungi have cognitive capacities, and even conscious experiences. While these arguments risk ushering in unproductive disputes about how words like “mind,” “cognitive,” “sentient,” and “conscious” should be used, paying close attention to key properties of fungal life can also be uncontroversially productive for ...

Seeing Through an Ant's Eyes: Do Entomopathogenic Fungi Extend Their Cognition to Their Hosts?

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Post‐cognitivist approaches recognize cognition as a phenomenon that involves not just brains but all the sensorimotor apparatus of organisms. This means that brains are not always required for the emergence of cognition and that every organism can, in principle, be cognitive, unlocking a theoretical framework to explain the complex adaptive ...

Intraparticular Heterogeneity Limits Capacity in Lithium–Sulfur Batteries With Carbonate Electrolyte

Battery Energy, Volume 5, Issue 3, May 2026.
Cryo‐electron‐microscopy and electrochemical testing reveal that the cathode‐electrolyte interphase in Li–S batteries with carbonate electrolytes forms heterogeneously across carbon particles. This intraparticle heterogeneity limits capacity and rate performance, highlighting the critical role of particle size and cathode‐electrolyte interphase ...

The impact of urbanisation on social behaviour: a comprehensive review

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 1003-1035, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Urbanisation is a key driver of global environmental change and presents animals with novel stressors and challenges. It can fundamentally influence social behaviour and has the potential to reshape within‐ and between‐species social interactions. Given the role of social behaviour in reproductive fitness and survival, understanding how social

Activity‐Informed Network Analysis Reveals Keystone Microbes Shaping Freshwater Ecosystem Function

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
Graphical abstract illustrating the workflow and key findings of this study. We first applied SPIEC‐EASI to metagenomic abundance data to construct microbial co‐occurrence networks and selected the top 15 MAGs based on degree centrality. We then used CARlasso to detect relationships between the top MAGs and environmental features.

The return of metabolism: biochemistry and physiology of glycolysis

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 751-803, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Glycolysis is a fundamental metabolic pathway central to the bioenergetics and physiology of virtually all living organisms. In this comprehensive review, we explore the intricate biochemical principles and evolutionary origins of glycolytic pathways, from the classical Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas (EMP) pathway in humans to various prokaryotic and ...

Environmental stress influences reproductive success in male spider mites

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 414-423, April 2026.
This experiment explores how male juvenile food stress impacts reproductive traits in the haplodiploid spider mite Tetranychus urticae. Males exposed to juvenile food stress had lower reproductive success and females mated to these males also suffered reduced fitness as they were not able to produce optimal offspring sex ratios. The negative effects of
