Discovery of sexual dimorphism of the laryngeal sac in the common minke whale Balaenoptera acutorostrata

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 2, Page 397-416, February 2026.
Abstract Mysticetes, or baleen whales, have an air sac on the ventral surface of the larynx known as the “laryngeal sac.” The primary hypothesis regarding this structure's function is that it is involved in sound production. However, several other functions have been proposed, including air recycling, air storage, and even buoyancy control.

Generation of Mice Harboring Bicc1 Conditional Null Alleles

open access: yesgenesis, Volume 64, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Bicaudal C1 (Bicc1) encodes an RNA‐binding protein critical for many organ development and epithelial tissue homeostasis. Bicc1 null mutations have been shown to lead to the development of polycystic kidney disease (PKD) and death at an early prenatal stage.

Rapid Gamete Maturation and Social Modulation Shape Reproductive Dynamics in a Brood Parasitic Catfish

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Obligatory brood parasitism in the Lake Tanganyika cuckoo catfish requires rapid reproductive readiness to exploit unpredictable host spawning. Our experiments showed that males are almost continuously ready to reproduce, while females ovulate about once a week, with social interactions enhancing gamete maturation in both sexes.

Mutations in Components of the TREX‐2 Complex Result in Misexpression of the Kelch‐Domain F‐Box Protein KFB39 Promoter in Arabidopsis thaliana

open access: yesPlant Direct, Volume 10, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Arabidopsis thaliana gene At2g44130 encodes a Kelch‐like domain F‐box protein designated KFB39 and was previously shown to be specifically expressed on exposure to the oxylipin cis‐jasmone. In order to better understand the regulation of At2g44130, a forward genetic screen was carried out to identify mutants in which a promoter‐GUS fusion was ...

Pollination and plant reproduction in the Cerrado, the world's most biodiverse savanna

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 74-105, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The Brazilian Cerrado is a continental‐wide biodiversity hotspot and the most species‐rich savanna ecosystem in the world. The main aspect characterising this biodiversity is that the landscape is arranged as an intricate mosaic of different plant formations, including grasslands, savannas, and forests, each harbouring distinct but ...
