A Novel Approach to the Design and Sample Size Planning of Animal Experiments Based on Effect Estimation

open access: yesBiometrical Journal, Volume 68, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Animal experiments are often purely exploratory, with little to no data available to support the planning phase. Nonetheless, ethical guidelines demand scientifically sound planning, particularly regarding sample size determination based on biometric criteria such as power analysis or precision of effect estimation.

Phylogenetic Analyses of True Ladybirds (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae: Coccinellini) Reveal Directionality in Diet Evolution and Support a Boreotropical Origin of the Tribe

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
A newly generated large‐scale molecular phylogeny of true ladybirds (Coccinellini) clarifies their evolutionary relationships and supports a boreotropical origin in the Paleocene, with multiple independent southward dispersals. Ancestral diet reconstructions suggest an initial specialization on aphids, followed by expansions in host range and ...

What Seismic Phase is L'Aquila in Fifteen Years After the Mw6.1$$ {M}_w\kern0.3em 6.1 $$ Earthquake of April 6, 2009?

open access: yesEnvironmetrics, Volume 37, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT On April 6, 2009, central Italy was hit by a Mw6.1$$ {M}_w\kern0.3em 6.1 $$ earthquake that caused 308 victims in the city and province of L'Aquila; subsequently, in 2016, two Mw6+$$ {M}_w\kern0.3em 6+ $$ shocks were recorded in an area located a few dozen kilometers further north, respectively in Amatrice and Norcia.

Seismic Design of Concrete Dams: An Integrated Risk‐Informed Performance‐Based (RIPB) Framework

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 5, Page 1019-1049, 25 April 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper advances the integration of risk‐informed principles into the seismic design of dams—a domain long guided by standards‐based, largely deterministic approaches. While performance‐based earthquake engineering is well established for buildings and bridges, its systematic adoption in dam engineering remains limited. We first address two

Time‐ and State‐Dependent Damage Accumulation Due to Aftershocks Under an M9.0 Megathrust Earthquake in the Cascadia Subduction Zone

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 5, Page 1157-1175, 25 April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study develops a comprehensive framework for assessing time and state‐dependent aftershock damage accumulation under an M9.0 megathrust interface earthquake in the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ). The framework integrates aftershock probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (APSHA) and state‐dependent fragility analysis (SDFA) within a ...
