Helmeted hornbill cranial kinesis: Balancing mobility and stability in a high‐impact joint
The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 5, Page 1299-1312, May 2026.Abstract Prokinesis—in which a craniofacial joint allows the rostrum to move relative to the braincase—is thought to confer diverse advantages in birds, mostly for feeding. A craniofacial joint would, however, be a weak link if cranial stability is important. Paradoxically, we have identified a craniofacial joint in helmeted hornbills (Rhinoplax vigil),

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.Settlement and metamorphosis are key developmental hurdles in marine mollusk aquaculture. Environmental signals (such as biofilms, algae, and signals from conspecifics) and biochemical pathways (including nitric oxide, thyroid hormones, catecholamines, and GABA) regulate the transition of larvae into benthic juveniles. Combining ecological observations

Assessing Conflict Potential Between Birds and Small‐Scale Fisheries in Lake Titicaca
Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Globally, fisheries bycatch constitutes a threat to aquatic birds. However, while the threat is global, the threat from bycatch in inland fisheries, and from artisanal or small‐scale fishing, is particularly understudied. Here, we present the first attempt to map the vulnerability of birds to fisheries bycatch, and the conflict potential ...

Deep Learning–Enhanced Resonance Frequency Analysis for Dental Implant Stability Assessment
Clinical and Experimental Dental Research, Volume 12, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT Objectives Accurate assessment of dental implant stability is critical for predicting osseointegration outcomes and guiding clinical decision‐making. Resonance frequency analysis (RFA) is a widely adopted non‐invasive method for measuring implant stability quotient (ISQ); however, signal acquisition noise frequently compromises measurement ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.We introduce ENHYDROSS, a new mechanistic model that uses optimal swimming speed and minimum cost of transport to estimate maximum dispersal distances and durations for vertebrates, enabling assessment of long‐distance oceanic dispersal potential. Applied to a range of extant and extinct animals, the model's estimates generally align with observed data;

Using biotelemetry to assess drone effects on whale sharks
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract The use of unoccupied aerial vehicles or drones for wildlife research has proliferated in recent years and they have proven to be a valuable tool for collecting data for population surveys, morphometric and body condition measurements, and for observing behavior.

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Macroscale ocean fronts aggregate significant biomass and provide critical foraging habitat for large marine predators. These frontal systems shift in response to ocean climate variation, including basin‐scale oscillations, and the degree to which marine predators track these movements affects their foraging and reproductive success. Using two
