Self‐Expanding Cardiovascular Stents: Potentials and Challenges of Shape Memory Biomaterials
Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part B: Applied Biomaterials, Volume 114, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Cardiovascular diseases affect a large portion of the global population and remain leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Endovascular stenting, a minimally invasive procedure, enables the insertion and deployment of stents to restore arterial patency without open surgery.

Distribution under climate change of Anemone coronaria: linking flower colour and seed dispersal
Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.Flower colour polymorphism is driven by divergent selection regimes on the colour morphs across time and space. Anemone coronaria, a colour‐polymorphic geophyte with red, purple, and white flowers, displays a geographic pattern along Israel's aridity gradient: polymorphic populations are restricted to Mediterranean climates, while monomorphic‐red ...

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 3, June 2026.Abstract Floral mimicry of decaying substrates of animal origin, such as carrion or faeces, is associated with unusual traits such as geoflory, deep maroon or yellow colouration, floral hairs and unpleasant odour, but the functional significance of these traits for attracting and manipulating pollinators has seldom been examined.

Anthropology &Education Quarterly, Volume 57, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT This article explores how educator‐kibbutzim recruit socialist‐Zionist learning traditions to construct new forms of kinship. Bringing communities of practice theory to new kinship studies, we expand on the role of knowledge in bridging the social/biological.

Heterokairic Genes and the Eco‐Evo‐Devo of Timing
Evolution &Development, Volume 28, Issue 2, June 2026.Heterokairic genes as the bridge (Heterokairic Pathways?): Heterokairic genes are heterochronic regulators whose activity is modulated by environmental conditions. External cues (e.g., temperature, nutrition, oxygen, density: yellow box) are sensed (yellow arrows) and converted into endocrine and metabolic signals (purple box and arrow into fish's ...

Behavioral Responses of Two Common Woodland Salamanders to Novel Urban Stimuli
Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 6, Page 430-439, June 2026.We examined behavioral responses of the Eastern Red‐backed Salamander (Plethodon cinereus) and Northern Ravine Salamander (P. electromorphus) to novel urban stimuli. The Northern Ravine Salamander exhibited increased thigmotaxis in the presence of concrete pavers simulating roads and walkways.
