Morphological and biomechanical adaptations of larval mandibles in Trichoptera (Insecta)
Mandible morphology differs between predators and grazers: predators show pointed incisors, grazers sharp edges and setae.

ABSTRACT Megalithic landscapes in Southeast Iberia remain unevenly and insufficiently documented, particularly in rugged areas where traditional survey methods are limited. This paper addresses this gap by applying a multiscalar approach to the megalithic necropolises of the Fardes River (Granada, Spain), with the objective of detecting, documenting ...

The world's oldest man‐made biological experiment
Biological experiments are often short‐lived due to logistical or resource‐related challenges, and short‐term observations are extrapolated to make long‐term predictions. However, the effects of experimental treatments on biological communities and processes take time to develop.
