Photic Niche Explains Avian Behavioral Responses to Solar Eclipses

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Most bird species—except for those that are adapted for activity under dim conditions—were less likely to vocalize during the maximum of a total solar eclipse, whereas an annular eclipse reaching only 90% solar obscuration did not lead to behavioral effects. ABSTRACT Solar eclipses rapidly alter abiotic conditions and thus represent natural experiments

Modeling stratified dispersal in forest pests: A case study of the mountain pine beetle in Alberta

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Forest pests pose critical threats to forest ecosystems worldwide, yet accurately predicting their spatial spread remains challenging due to complex dispersal behaviors, weather effects, and the inherent difficulty of tracking small organisms across large landscapes.

Stochastic Lotka-Volterra Systems of Competing Auto-Catalytic Agents Lead Generically to Truncated Pareto Power Wealth Distribution, Truncated Levy Distribution of Market Returns, Clustered Volatility, Booms and Craches

, 1998
We give a microscopic representation of the stock-market in which the microscopic agents are the individual traders and their capital. Their basic dynamics consists in the auto-catalysis of the individual capital and in the global competition/cooperation

Levy flight is not evolved behavior

, 2011
Tracks of moving animals have many short moves interspersed with longer moves, and frequencies of all moves together often indicate Levy flights (a type of power law)1. The Levy flight foraging hypothesis suggests that, ‘since Levy flights and walks can optimize search efficiencies, therefore natural selection should have led to adaptations for Levy ...

Putting Insects on the Agenda: An Analysis of Actors in Multiple Streams for Biodiversity Conservation Policy in Germany

Environmental Policy and Governance, Volume 36, Issue 1, Page 66-80, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The loss of biodiversity presents one of the most pressing societal challenges of our time. Insects play a crucial role for biodiversity in terms of ecosystem services and food provision. Although insects receive increasing public and academic attention, the development of policy mixes for insect conservation remains challenging.

Erving Goffman at 100: A Chameleon Seen as a Rorschach Test within a Kaleidoscope

Symbolic Interaction, Volume 49, Issue 1, Page 3-47, February 2026.
The 100th anniversary of Erving Goffman's birth was in 2022. Drawing on his work, the Goffman archives, the secondary literature, and personal experiences with him and those in his university of Chicago cohort, I reflect on some implications of his work and life, and the inseparable issues of understanding society.

Haptic Experiences Shift Students' Representational Gestures and Knowledge Resources

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, Volume 63, Issue 2, Page 138-160, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The present investigation adopts an embodied cognition perspective to characterize students' learning interactions between gesture and haptic experience. Haptic technologies have emerged as a promising approach to science learning because they can simulate physical forces that students would otherwise not experience. Student‐generated gestures
