Humans seek to predict, explain, and control their environments. Generalizations—like those expressed by “children like candy” and “cigarettes cause cancer”—provide one resource to facilitate these tasks. We develop a proposal tying the acceptability judgments of generics to the psychological functions of generalizations.

Broadening the semiaquatic scene: Quantification of long bone microanatomy across pinnipeds
Abstract Investigations of bone microanatomy are commonly used to explore lifestyle strategies in vertebrates. While distinct microanatomical limb bone features have been established for exclusively aquatic and terrestrial lifestyles, identifying clear patterns for the semiaquatic lifestyle remains more challenging.

HPAI H5N1 was confirmed in 22 South Polar Skuas and one Kelp Gull on Dismal and Horseshoe Islands, Marguerite Bay, Western Antarctic Peninsula in early 2025, with high mortalities consistent with global trends. Rapid antigen tests showed 90% agreement with rRT‐PCR, supporting their utility for early detection in remote environments.

Revisiting the status of the Arctic's Last Ice Area as a refuge for marine predators
Abstract The Last Ice Area (LIA), located north of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago and Greenland, has the Arctic's oldest and thickest sea ice. The LIA is hypothesized to be a potential climate refuge for ice‐dependent top predators as Arctic sea ice continues to decline.
