How Do Group Size and Social Context Affect Per‐Capita Behavioral Responses in a Nasute Termite?

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 639-645, July 2026.
Group living is often assumed to increase individual behavioral activity in eusocial insects through social facilitation. Using controlled bioassays with the termite Nasutitermes corniger, we show that increasing group size instead reduces per‐capita behavioral frequency, consistent with greater behavioral specialization. While antennation and grooming

Diverging Effects of Elevation on Species Richness of Freshwater Organisms: A Global Meta‐Analysis

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT A primary ecological challenge is to disentangle how abiotic factors affect species richness using measured environmental variables in addition to broad proxies such as elevation. Considering direct ecogeographical gradients, such as climate harshness, it is therefore essential to understand whether these underlying abiotic factors might ...

Soil Microbial Diversity and Network Organization Respond to Land Use and Agricultural Inputs Worldwide

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
Based on a global analysis of 1921 soil samples, we show that agricultural management acts as a powerful ecological filter reshaping microbial communities. Land use and inputs—pesticides and fertilizers—drive a functional shift toward opportunistic pathogens and fragmented, less connected microbial networks, potentially compromising soil ecosystem ...

Pernambuco e a companhia geral do comércio do Brasil

, 2000
Rendeu-se o Recife holandês em Janeiro de 1654, graças ao auxílio das forças navais da Companhia Geral do Comércio do Brasil, instituída em Março de 1649 para dar escolta ao tráfego brasileiro. Depondo as armas diante do aparato naval sustentado pela empresa, a potência ocupante punha fim a nove anos de uma guerra de desfecho indeciso, alimentada pelas

Varieties of Authoritarian Policymaking: Housing Policy Across Dictatorships

Governance, Volume 39, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Public policies are expected to vary across regime types, but this association remains inconclusive even when further differentiating within types of authoritarian regimes. Focusing on the theoretical mechanisms behind the expected associations between regime type and policy, I propose a novel framework to analyze policymaking and outputs ...

Habitat Suitability for a Unique, Fully Marine American Manatee (Trichechus manatus) Population Primarily Depends on Presence of Submarine Freshwater Springs

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The American manatee (Trichechus manatus) requires freshwater mainly from rivers and springs to maintain osmoregulatory balance in saline environments. However, in Brazil's semi‐arid Potiguar Basin, manatees now rely solely on submarine freshwater springs because hypersaline estuaries have become unsuitable sources of freshwater.

Pioneer of Medical Mycology: In Memory of Prof. Friedrich Staib, MD, DVM

Mycoses, Volume 69, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT At the beginning of Friedrich Staib's academic career in the 1950s, medical mycology was a young discipline in Germany. He studied veterinary and human medicine, earning two doctorates. Initially fascinated by the changes in intestinal flora caused by the newly emerging broad‐spectrum antibacterials, i.e., the selection of fungi.

Interplay Between River Formation and Historical Climatic Changes Drove Diversification of the Thamnomanes caesius and T. schistogynus (Passeriformes, Thamnophilidae) Species Complex Across Amazonian and Atlantic Forests

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 555-567, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The Amazon and Atlantic forests harbour immense biodiversity shaped by complex evolutionary history with diverse processes leading to species build‐up. We investigated the Cinereous Antshrike species complex (Thamnomanes caesius and T. schistogynus) to disentangle the relative contributions of riverine barriers and historical climatic ...
