The pectoralis muscle orientation as an indicator of the modes of wing‐propelled locomotion in birds

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The pectoralis orientation of birds was consistent with the orientation of the aerodynamic force acting on the wing, varying by wing‐propelled locomotion (WPL) mode. The skeletal morphology unique to each WPL mode, related to the origin/insertion of the pectoralis, may be associated with these functional demands of pectoralis orientation.

Investigating the efficacy of tidal wetland restoration in enhancing aquatic food web resources for native fishes

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Endangered fish species, such as Delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus), in the San Francisco Estuary are threatened by a multitude of anthropogenic stressors. Tidal wetland restoration can partially mitigate these stressors by increasing food availability of aquatic invertebrate prey, but the efficacy of restoration remains ...

Land birds on atolls: diversity, origin, and function

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 6, Page 2920-2942, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Oceanic islands are global hotspots of avian biodiversity and endemism. Their isolation and distinct environmental conditions have uniquely shaped the evolutionary trajectories of island birds, while, in turn, land bird communities have become critical providers of ecological functions to island ecosystems.

Blephariceridae, Net-Winged Midges [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Net-winged midges (Diptera: Blephariceridae) are a small group of highly specialized aquatic flies. The immature stages are remarkable in their adaptations to and intimate association with torrential streams.

The conservation of saproxylic beetles in boreal forest [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Forest management has altered the age structure, tree species composition and dead wood availability of Swedish boreal forests. As a consequence, many saproxylic (wood living) insect species have decreased in abundance and many species are threatened ...

Fracture and Calving Front Evolution: A Case Study of Fimbul Ice Shelf, Antarctica

open access: yesProceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT This study combines historical records, satellite remote sensing data, and inverse modelling to investigate crack formation and calving front evolution of the Fimbul Ice Shelf, Antarctica. Historical maps from the 1950s, together with satellite imagery from 1970s–2026, are used to reconstruct calving‐front positions and track the evolution of ...

Toward Pore‐Engineered 3D‐Printed Materials for Sorption Water Harvesting, Interfacial Evaporation, and Radiative Cooling

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 61, 2 November 2026.
Water harvesting, radiative cooling, and interfacial solar evaporation are fundamentally governed by coupled heat, mass, and light transport processes. These processes are mediated by pore architecture, including pore size, connectivity, and hierarchical organization.
