Imaging Evil in the First Chapters of Genesis: Texts behind the Images in Eastern Orthodox Art [PDF]
, 2016 Satan’s interference in the events described in the first chapters of the book of Genesis and in the life of the protoplasts is not mentioned at all in the biblical text. This happens, however, in pseudo-canonical texts.

Plant diversity estimates of Mediterranean islands differ among biodiversity databases
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.Large‐scale biodiversity databases encompass three main types of data for plants, namely single species point occurrences, co‐occurrences in vegetation plots, and checklists for specific areas. Evidence shows that such data types exhibit specific biases, reporting different species assemblages at local scales.

A complete gauge-invariant formalism for arbitrary second-order perturbations of a Schwarzschild black hole [PDF]
, 2009 Using recently developed efficient symbolic manipulations tools, we present a general gauge-invariant formalism to study arbitrary radiative $(l\geq 2)$ second-order perturbations of a Schwarzschild black hole.

Primary Productivity and Habitat Depth Shape Developmental Mode in European Marine Gastropods
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.Thorson's rule suggests that marine gastropods in colder, high‐latitude regions tend to have non‐pelagic (non‐drifting) larval development. However, this study on 94 European gastropod species found that the rule disappears when examined at finer spatial scales, with temperature and phylogeny having little influence.

Swimming abilities of temperate pelagic fish larvae prove that they may control their dispersion in coastal areas [PDF]
, 2019 The Sense Acuity and Behavioral (SAAB) Hypothesis proposes that the swimming capabilities and sensorial acuity of temperate fish larvae allows them to find and swim towards coastal nursery areas, which are crucial for their recruitment. To gather further

Genomic Insights Into Host Shifts Between Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium simium in Latin America
Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Malaria in Latin America is largely caused by Plasmodium vivax, but the closely related monkey parasite Plasmodium simium has recently been observed in humans, thus raising new public health concerns. By screening 719 monkey samples from five Latin America countries, we identified 23 Plasmodium‐positives.

Feedforward data-aided phase noise estimation from a DCT basis expansion [PDF]
, 2008 This contribution deals with phase noise estimation from pilot symbols. The phase noise process is approximated by an expansion of discrete cosine transform (DCT) basis functions containing only a few terms.

Beyond species means – the intraspecific contribution to global wood density variation
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 2630-2651, March 2026.Summary Wood density is central for estimating vegetation carbon storage and a plant functional trait of great ecological and evolutionary importance. However, the global extent of wood density variation is unclear, especially at the intraspecific level. We assembled the most comprehensive wood density collection to date, including 109 626 records from

Rapid ecological and evolutionary divergence during a poleward range expansion
Ecological Monographs, Volume 96, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Understanding how species distributions respond to environmental change is a key question in ecology and evolution. While many species are shifting their ranges, the mechanisms driving the extent and rate of these shifts, and the consequences of their establishment in a novel environment, are often poorly understood.
