From Cohesion to Norms: How Animal Groups Come, Stay, and Function Together

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 9, Page 604-622, September 2026.
The present review underscores two salient points: In the context of evolutionary transitions to pair‐ and group living, it is imperative to acknowledge the distinction between selective forces that act during the origin of these social systems and those that act during their subsequent maintenance.

Fungal Community Composition Varies Across Floral and Extrafloral Nectaries

Journal of Basic Microbiology, Volume 66, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Floral (FNs) and extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) are key plant microhabitats that mediate interactions among plants, insects, and microorganisms, yet their associated fungal communities remain poorly characterized, especially in tropical ecosystems.

Biogeography and diversification patterns in the Irano‐Turanian biodiversity hotspots inferred from a molecular phylogeny of the subendemic Iris subgenus Scorpiris (Iridaceae)

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
The Irano‐Turanian Floristic Region harbors a rich flora, but our understanding of the development of this diversity is limited by a lack of data on phylogenetic relationships and biogeographic patterns of endemic and more widespread plants. Hypotheses of in situ diversification versus allopatric diversification were tested using Iris subgen. Scorpiris,

Examining the Psychometric Properties of the Ultra‐Short Version of the Oral Health Impact Profile in Australia

Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, Volume 54, Issue 4, Page 493-505, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives The Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) is the most widely used instrument to measure the subjective impact of oral conditions. This study reports the shortening and psychometric evaluation of an ultra‐short version (OHIP‐7A) from the OHIP‐14 in a large national Australian population.
