The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1256-1284, August 2026.
This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Apiotrichum‐Centered Fungal Interaction Network Disturbance Correlates With Increased Arterial Stiffness

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 8, August 2026.
Apiotrichum‐centered gut fungal network disturbance correlates with increased arterial stiffness. Five driver genera including Apiotrichum, Mycothermus, Flavocillium, Hyaloscypha, and Microscypha regulate the interaction shift. Thirty‐nine metabolites comprising organic acids, fatty acyls, and sucrose target vasoconstriction regulators CYP11B2, ROCK2 ...

Exploring New Zealand Consumer Affective and Sensory Responses of No and Low (NOLO) Alcohol Wines in a Realistic Consumption Setting

Journal of Sensory Studies, Volume 41, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Declining alcohol consumption both in New Zealand and globally has increased interest in no‐ and low‐alcohol (NOLO) wines; however, limited research has examined how alcohol level influences consumer responses. This study investigated how alcohol content (0%, 6%, and 13%) affected such responses for Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, and Merlot ...

Lessons Learned on Obtaining Reliable Conductivity Estimates From Molecular Dynamics Simulations

ChemPhysChem, Volume 27, Issue 14, 29 July 2026.
We present the newly implemented “conduct” module for TRAVIS. It allows the calculation of ionic conductivities from molecular dynamics simulations using the Einstein–Helfand and Green–Kubo approaches. We provide a broad overview of accessible transport properties and compare methods and best practices for obtaining statistically reliable estimates. To

Impacts of Maritime Continent Forest and Peat Fires on Regional Air Quality During 2019 CAMP2Ex Using MUSICAv0

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract The NASA Cloud, Aerosol and Monsoon Processes Philippines Experiment (CAMP2Ex) field campaign from 24 August to 05 October 2019 observed a complex mixture of aerosols—biomass burning smoke transported from Maritime Continent (MC)/Indonesia fires to the Philippines and Metro Manila's urban pollution.

Marine Aerosol to Refinery Emissions: Transport and Evolution of CCN in the Houston Metropolitan Area and Their Impact on Cloud Formation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract The Experiment of Sea Breeze Convection, Aerosols, Precipitation and Environment (ESCAPE) campaign aimed to untangle the impacts of contrasting aerosol sources on cloud microphysical properties within deep convective cells using airborne observations with the National Research Council Canada (NRC) Convair CV‐580 research aircraft.
