Are biologically meaningful effect sizes a factor in study design? A systematic review of translational chronic variable stress studies

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 2, Page 349-356, 1 February 2026.
Abstract The design of in vivo studies using laboratory animals is normally guided by the 3Rs: Replacement, Reduction and Refinement. The concept of Reduction is particularly important in the context of estimating sample size; the selected sample size should allow the detection of a predetermined effect size using appropriate statistical tests, but not

Cicada as a food for mammals: a global review and implications for mammal behaviour and populations

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) are among the most important insect prey for many vertebrate predators, including birds and mammals, owing to their large size and high nutritional value. Although the ecological roles of cicadas as prey for birds have been well documented, the interactions between mammals and cicadas are relatively unknown.
