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 ...

Biomechanical Analysis of 3D Printed and Thermoformed EVA Custom‐Made Mouthguard: Experimental and Finite Element Analyses

Dental Traumatology, Volume 42, Issue 4, Page 511-522, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background/Objective 3D printed materials have been evaluated for fabricating mouthguards; however, little is known about their biomechanical performance in preventing dental trauma. This study aimed to compare two 3D printed polymers and three ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) sheets used for mouthguard fabrication regarding their mechanical ...

Effect of aging on healing of mandibular tooth extraction socket in a rat model

European Journal of Oral Sciences, Volume 134, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract This study evaluated the effect of aging on bone regeneration in mandibular extraction sockets. Male Sprague–Dawley rats were divided into three age groups: 2‐month‐old (2 M, n = 6), 10‐month‐old (10 M, n = 6), and 18‐month‐old (18 M, n = 5). Two weeks post‐extraction, comprehensive analyses were performed using micro‐computed tomography (µ‐CT)
