Scale of herpetofauna mitigation translocation in British Columbia, Canada

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.
Mitigation translocation is widely used across British Columbia to move amphibians and reptiles away from development. Reviewing permits from 2019–2022, we found that more than 5 million individuals, mostly larval western toads, were relocated. Yet almost no monitoring occurs, leaving outcomes unknown.

From transporter to motor: Evolutionary and structural insights into the emergence of prestin's area‐motor activity in mammals

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Prestin, a member of the SLC26A family, is essential for the electromotility of mammalian outer hair cells, converting voltage changes into mechanical work. In contrast, nonmammalian orthologues function as anion transporters. To investigate the molecular and structural basis of this functional divergence, we performed ancestral sequence ...

Concanavalin A-Binding Enzymes of Crotalus scutulatus scutulatus Venom [PDF]

, 1985
Crotalus scutulatus scutulatus crude venom was separated into two fractions by Concanavalin A Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography. The proteins binding to Con A exhibited phosphomonoesterase (orthophosphoric monoester phosphohydrolase EC 3.1.3.2 ...

Insights from controlled, comparative experiments highlight the limitations of using BSMV and FoMV for virus‐enabled reverse genetics in rice

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 3, Page 745-754, May 2026.
Virus‐enabled reverse genetics (VERG) enables transient gene expression modulation in plants but its efficacy varies across species. We evaluated the efficacy of barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV) and foxtail mosaic virus (FoMV) for virus‐induced gene silencing (VIGS) and virus‐mediated overexpression (VOX) in rice (Oryza sativa).

Capturing Joint Attention: Theoretical Foundations and Their Implications for the Link Between Joint Attention and Vocabulary Growth

Infancy, Volume 31, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Despite decades of research, we still know less than we would like about the association between joint attention (JA) and language acquisition. One reason for this is that we still have not agreed how to define, operationalize, and measure joint attention.

The past, present, and future of predator–prey interactions in a warming world: Using species distribution modeling to forecast ectotherm–endotherm niche overlap

Ecology and Evolution
Climate change has the potential to disrupt species interactions across global ecosystems. Ectotherm–endotherm interactions may be especially prone to this risk due to the possible mismatch between the species in physiological response and performance ...

MEVTV Workshop on Tectonic Features on Mars [PDF]

The state of knowledge of tectonic features on Mars was determined and kinematic and mechanical models were assessed for their origin. Three sessions were held: wrinkle ridges and compressional structure; strike-slip faults; and extensional structures ...

Parent Speech in Free Play Is Guided by Infant Attention, But Organized by Object Familiarity

Infancy, Volume 31, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Successful coordination of infant attention and parent speech during free play supports infants' language development. Parents' responsive linguistic input reduces uncertainty in label‐referent associations and provides information at moments of infants' increased attention and receptiveness.
