Cretaceous lacewing larvae with binocular vision demonstrate the convergent evolution of sophisticated simple eyes

open access: yesInsect Science, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 441-452, February 2026.
We report three ca. 100 million‐year‐old lacewing larvae with extraordinarily large stemmata. One of them additionally has a very wide head, which represents a previously unknown morphology. The arrangement of the stemmata indicates stereoscopic vision in these predatory larvae.

Mantidfly larvae use cues on substrate to locate and distinguish different sexes and life stages of potential spider hosts

open access: yesScientific Reports
In many animals, early-life decisions influence long-term fitness. Mantidflies are spider egg predators; their tiny larvae climb aboard spiders to find eggs, but little is known about how they find spiders. We tested the hypothesis that mantidfly larvae (

Management of Agitation in Emergency Medical Services for Older Adults: A Qualitative Exploration

open access: yesAcademic Emergency Medicine, Volume 33, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Emergency medical services (EMS) providers are often first responders to agitated older adults, providing critical clinical care and transport. However, significant knowledge gaps persist in our understanding of agitation management for older adults in the prehospital setting.

The behaviour–performance continuum: how does individual variation in locomotor abilities relate to behaviour?

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 486-518, February 2026.
ABSTRACT A series of terminological, technical, conceptual, and statistical challenges present themselves when trying to study correlations between measures of performance abilities (what an animal can do) and behavioural traits (what an animal chooses to do).

Can Widely Used Methods Be Turned Into eDNA Samplers for Ground‐Dwelling Arthropods? Insights From Two Pilot Studies in West European Salt Marshes

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 2, Page 164-177, February 2026.
This study evaluates bulk and eDNA metabarcoding via suction sampling and modified pitfall traps to monitor salt marsh arthropods. Suction sampling excelled in detecting overlooked taxa, whereas pitfalls were effective for Scarabaeinae. Results underscore the importance of adapting protocols to specific taxa and habitats and highlight the effects of ...
