Dragon Fruit (Hylocereus undatus) Pollination in New Zealand: A Preliminary Report on Flower Visitors, Natural Pollen Deposition, and Artificial Pollination

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.
Dragon fruit (pitaya; Hylocereus undatus) is a promising, new high‐value crop in New Zealand. The large nocturnal flowers open for one night and close early in the morning the following day over a 3‐ to 6‐month long flowering period. In dragon fruit's native range, hawkmoths and bats are key nocturnal pollinators, and honey bees visit flowers during ...

Dynamic karyotype evolution and unique sex determination systems in Leptidea wood white butterflies [PDF]

, 1943
[Background] Chromosomal rearrangements have the potential to limit the rate and pattern of gene flow within and between species and thus play a direct role in promoting and maintaining speciation.

Toward Large Nonradiating Qubits: When Quantum Engineering Meets Photonics

Advanced Quantum Technologies, Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2026.
Nonradiating superconducting qubits suppress radiative losses through photonic‐inspired mechanisms such as anapole states and bound states in the continuum (BICs). This review surveys theoretical foundations and recent implementations of large, wavelength‐scale qubits that confine electromagnetic energy while maintaining coherence.

Does Presentation Format Influence Visual Size Discrimination in Tufted Capuchin Monkeys (Sapajus spp.)? [PDF]

, 2015
Most experimental paradigms to study visual cognition in humans and non-human species are based on discrimination tasks involving the choice between two or more visual stimuli.

Do Energetic Challenges Mimicking Missed Foraging Encourage Torpor Use by a Neotropical Bat?

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
We experimentally tested whether Merriam's long‐tongued bat (Glossophaga mutica), a Neotropical nectarivorous species, uses heterothermy in response to reduced energy intake. We found that energetically challenged bats maintained subcutaneous temperatures significantly closer to roost temperature during the daytime inactive period.

Small but mighty: Impact hazards from iron Near‐Earth Objects

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 2, Page 224-240, February 2026.
Abstract Small asteroids can impact Earth unexpectedly, as demonstrated by the Chelyabinsk event in 2013. The warning times are likely to be short, and the first tools for fast hazard predictions have been developed in the last years for encounters with rocky or cometary objects, which quickly fragment in the atmosphere and cause airbursts. However, in
