The Effect of Writing Direction and Task‐Specific Experience on Mapping Time and Numbers on Space

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1558, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Mapping time and numbers on space is affected by the writing direction. In two experiments, we searched for an explanation of how writing scripts can influence the mental representation of time and number axes. We presented to participants either 2 months (written in their native language) or two numbers (Arabic numerals), one on the left and ...

Functional Stability Despite Taxonomic Changes in Mixed‐Species Foraging Flock Participants Along an Elevational Gradient in Knuckles Montane Reserve, Sri Lanka 斯里兰卡纳克斯山地保护区 (Knuckles Montane Reserve) 海拔梯度上混合物种觅食群参与者的功能稳定性与分类变化

Integrative Conservation, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 59-73, March 2026.
This research reveals the functional stability of mixed species foraging flocks (MSF) and their foraging height change with different taxonomic differences along the elevational gradient at Knuckles Montane Reserve, Sri Lanka. This offers new insights into how MSFs sustain with the elevational gradients supporting the altitudinal shifting species ...

Novel type of atypical renal nutcracker syndrome accompanied by accessory left renal artery: a case report and literature review

Folia Morphologica
BACKGROUND: The renal nutcracker phenomenon is left renal vein entrapment that may cause hematuria, orthostatic proteinuria, left flank pain, and other extrarenal symptoms resulting from venous congestion.

Daily persistent headache with nutcracker physiology and spinal epidural venous congestion: Treatment with lumbar vein embolization

Radiology Case Reports, 2022
Nutcracker phenomenon (NCP) can cause various congestion syndromes secondary to the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) compressing the left renal vein (LRV) resulting in venous reflux.

Passive Acoustic Data as Phenological Distributions: Uncovering Signals of Temporal Ecology

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Passive acoustic monitoring has the potential to broaden our understanding of vocal animals' annual phenological cycles throughout and beyond the breeding season. We present standardized analytical methods for quantifying vocal phenology from passive acoustic recordings processed by classification algorithms, guided by clearly articulated hypotheses ...

Síndrome de Nutcracker. Hematúria sem diagnóstico?

Acta Médica Portuguesa, 2011
The nutcracker syndrome is associated with left renal vein compression in its passage between the abdominal aorta and superior mesenteric artery. This phenomenon can cause left renal vein hypertension manifested by abdominal pain, hematuria, and pelvic ...

Novel Foraging Behaviors of an Urban Bird, the Light‐Vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus sinensis)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Light‐vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus sinensis) were observed foraging on tree trunks in a woodpecker‐like manner. Light‐vented Bulbuls foraged on insect aggregations under artificial street light. Our findings provide new insights into possible behavioral adaptation strategies of Light‐vented Bulbuls to urban environments. ABSTRACT Urban environments expose

Developing a Quadratic Interpolation Northern Goshawk Optimiser and Its Application for Solving Electrical Engineering Problems

IET Renewable Power Generation, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
We propose an enhanced metaheuristic algorithm, quadratic interpolation northern goshawk optimisation (QINGO), that integrates the generalised quadratic interpolation method into the northern goshawk optimisation framework. The proposed algorithm shows superior convergence, stability, and accuracy compared with several existing methods on standard ...

A unique case of extrarenal calyces and associated vascular variations in an adult female cadaver

Folia Morphologica, 2022
The following urogenital and vascular anomalies were observed in the left kidney of an 81-year-old female cadaver during routine dissection: three extrarenal calyces; an accessory renal artery originating directly from the abdominal aorta; and a ...

High selfing and skewed reproductive success in the northernmost, extremely small and remote population of Pinus parviflora var. pentaphylla

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.
The northernmost population of Japanese white pine is extremely small and isolated. The spatial genetic structure of this population is conspicuously strong. It is surprising to find the most of the understory individuals were derived from self‐fertilization of a single reproductive tree.
