Generics favor stability

open access: yesMind &Language, EarlyView.
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

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 8, Page 2124-2150, August 2026.
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.

Genetic and Ecological Management of Pacific Salmon Fisheries for the 21st Century

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 633-645, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Based on ecological adaptation theory, tremendous effort is being spent on measures that are eliminating salmon hatcheries and fishing opportunities with the intention of protecting wild runs deemed to be of particular genetic importance to the survival of the species.

Ecological implications and lessons from high pathogenicity avian influenza H5N1 2.3.4.4b in Antarctica

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.
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.

Ontogenetic changes and sexual dimorphism in the cranium and mandible of the Atlantic walrus (Odobenus rosmarus rosmarus L.)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 7, Page 1875-1903, July 2026.
Abstract Walruses have been an important subsistence and cultural resource for humans and have been exploited for millennia across their distribution. This exploitation has contributed to severe declines in several populations and local extirpations.

Revisiting the status of the Arctic's Last Ice Area as a refuge for marine predators

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 7, July 2026.
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.

Ontogeny of horizontal movement patterns of rehabilitated grey seal juveniles (Halichoerus grypus) in the Baltic Sea

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
The ethical considerations and scepticism over the ecological benefits have fuelled debate about the rehabilitation of wildlife. Although there is evidence that many rehabilitated species are able to survive after rehabilitation, there is a paucity of ...
