Geologically Current Rates of Hotspot Motion

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Hotspots, sites of mid‐plate volcanism or of excessive volcanism along a plate boundary, overlie plumes of hot rock that rise in the solid state from Earth's mantle. Previously estimated rates of lateral hotspot motion relative to a hotspot reference frame since Late Cretaceous time range from ∼3 to ∼80 mm/yr.

Stress Field and Megathrust Strength in the Western Hellenic Subduction System: Insights From the 2024 Mw 5.9 Strofades Earthquake Sequence, Greece

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract A M5.9 earthquake occurred on 29 March 2024, offshore near the Strofades Islands, in the western Hellenic Subduction System. Here we present high‐precision earthquake locations and focal mechanisms that suggest the rupture of a NNE‐SSW striking, left‐lateral strike‐slip fault.

A Bottom‐Up Design Framework for Multifunctional Lattice Metamaterials

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 26, 8 May 2026.
This study introduces a generative AI framework for designing multifunctional lattice metamaterials. The method combines 3D Gaussian voxel generation with deep learning, enabling greater design freedom and structural performance. The optimized lattice metamaterials achieve enhanced energy absorption by 40–200% compared to conventional structures and ...

Solitary Confinement: Surprising Post‐Copulatory Behaviour of an Australian Species of Wishbone Spider (Mygalomorphae: Anamidae: Aname)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Araneomorph spiders are regarded as a model group for sexual selection studies, while the mating system of mygalomorph spiders remains largely unknown. We here report on the mating behaviour of an Australian wishbone spider species, involving a novel post‐copulatory behaviour for mygalomorph spiders (‘burrow plugging’).

Current Protections and Future Threats to Say's Spiketail Habitat in the Southeastern USA

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Dragonflies and damselflies are important indicators of ecological integrity and environmental quality but remain underrepresented in conservation efforts, in part due to a lack of quantitative information regarding their habitat requirements. Species distribution models (SDMs) can facilitate conservation planning by allowing researchers to estimate ...
