Nonapeptide molecular evolution during the adaptive radiation of Tanganyika cichlids

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 38, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Oxytocin (OT) and vasotocin (VT) are evolutionarily conserved nonapeptides that regulate a wide range of physiological and behavioral processes in vertebrates. Their receptor families have undergone gene duplications that facilitated functional diversification throughout vertebrate evolution.

PUBLICITY TILE PANELS IN PORTUGAL: A SINGULARITY WITHIN IDENTITY

Art is on, 2018
In mid-19th century when tiles turn to the outside of the buildings, covering façades, a singularity in tile production came to light: their use as advertising or publicity support. From the third quarter of the 19th century on, very simple signs made of

Blood‐Based Epigenetic Signatures in Brazilian Males With Alcohol Use Disorder

Addiction Biology, Volume 31, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study represents the first epigenome‐wide association analysis of Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) in a genetically and culturally diverse Brazilian cohort. Genome‐wide DNA methylation profiling revealed hypomethylation in genes and pathways related to neuronal development, synaptic organization, intracellular signaling and cellular stress responses in ...

Thermal Stability of Sb‐, Mo‐, Nb‐, and W‐Doped SnO2 for High‐Temperature Transparent Thin‐Films

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 5, May 2026.
The graphical abstract illustrates the spray pyrolysis synthesis of Sb‐, Mo‐, Nb‐, and W‐doped SnO2 thin films on glass and ceramic substrates, followed by the thermal stability evaluation of the conductive films for high‐temperature applications. ABSTRACT This study investigates SnO2 thin films doped with antimony (Sb), molybdenum (Mo), niobium (Nb ...

Breeding in natural nesting sites can improve the resilience of local Lesser Kestrel (Falco naumanni) populations to environmental changes

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 2, Page 465-478, April 2026.
The identification of key habitats of threatened species and of extrinsic environmental factors that influence their resilience to human‐induced environmental changes are the foundation for the definition of conservation objectives. Using the presence and numerical abundance data collected in a long‐term survey (2000–24) of breeding colonies of Lesser ...

The mineralogy and chemistry of the German and Portuguese tiles used to face a historic building in the Amazon region and their natural susceptibility to tropical weathering [PDF]

Acta Amazonica, 2013
During the 19th century, the most prominent buildings of the city of Belém were faced entirely with tiles manufactured in Portugal and Germany, which now exhibit distinct degrees of degradation. The Pinho mansion is one of the most important of these buildings and was selected for the investigation of the action of the tropical Amazonian climate on the

Evaluating the possible role of bottom currents and internal waves in shaping seafloor morphology in a mesophotic reef

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 3, Page 593-619, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Mesophotic reefs are located in low light conditions which, depending on the region, are usually found in water depths greater than ~30 m. They are less affected by ocean warming than reefs found in shallower water depths and thus might become increasingly important for the sustainability of marine biodiversity.

Physiology–microhabitat matching may help organisms cope with the thermal and hydric challenges under climate change: a tale of two lizards

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
Climate change is significantly affecting biodiversity, and organisms that depend on external temperature – such as ectotherms – are particularly vulnerable to these effects. Microhabitats provide refuge for species, thereby reducing exposure to thermal and hydric stress under climate change.

The Cinderella tree, Quillaja saponaria – A soap story

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 439-451, March 2026.
Our current understanding of plants has been shaped by the entwining of different cultures. The Chilean soapbark tree, traditionally valued as a source of natural soap, was shown by serendipitous research in France in the 1900s to produce compounds that can boost the immune response to vaccines.
