Can I Have a Bite? The Influence of Infant Begging on Food Sharing in Capuchin Monkeys (Sapajus Libidinosus)

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 6, June 2026.
Food sharing between mother and offspring in capuchin monkeys is a response to the infant's begging. Infants solicit more frequently high‐quality and hard‐to‐process foods and they are more likely to succeed when they are older and if the food item is not a lizard. ABSTRACT In primates, food sharing from mothers to infants may serve two main functions:

The Cognitive Foundations of Teaching

open access: yesEvolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The propensity to teach is vital to human cultural evolution and to our ecological dominance of the planet, but its cognitive foundations remain poorly understood. Traditional explanations argue that teaching hinges on particular cognitive pre‐requisites, such as Theory of Mind.

The locomotory rhythmic activity in scorpions: with a review [PDF]

open access: yesArthropods, 2013
Locomotory rhythmic behavior is entrained by the change between photophase and skotophase and to some extent by thermal conditions. In many species studied most activity takes place during early night hours.

Peptide binding at the gasdermin D exosite reveals the structural basis for targeting the site

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section D, Volume 82, Issue 6, Page 615-625, June 2026.
We describe the first structure of gasdermin D with a putative caspase inhibitor peptide analog at 1.6 Å resolution. This work suggests potential druggability of gasdermin D at the exosite by leveraging structure‐based computational design with biochemical characterization.Gasdermin D (GSDMD) has been identified as a critical component of the ...
