Reading hominin life history in fossil bones and teeth: methods to test hypotheses regarding its evolution

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1463-1478, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Human life history is derived compared to that of our closest living relatives, the great apes. It has been suggested that these derived traits are causally related to aspects of our ecology, social behaviour and cognitive abilities. However, resolving this requires that we know the evolutionary trajectory of our distinctive pattern of growth,

Early evolutionary history of the seed

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1511-1553, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

Pre‐service teachers' explicit and implicit stereotypes towards pupils with different special educational needs

open access: yesBritish Journal of Educational Psychology, Volume 96, Issue 2, Page 612-630, June 2026.
Abstract Background Successful inclusion in education depends heavily on the attitudes of teachers, and stereotypes play a significant role in shaping these attitudes. However, social desirability bias may limit direct measures of stereotypes. Combining direct and indirect measures offers better insights.

Error Correction Learning of Second Language Verbal Morphology: Associating Imperfect Contingencies in Naturalistic Frequency Distributions

open access: yesLanguage Learning, Volume 76, Issue 2, Page 494-527, June 2026.
Abstract We investigate what is learned from exposure to usage in verbal morphology using an error correction mechanism within an associative learning framework. We computationally simulated how second language (L2) learners would respond to naturalistic input of aspectual usage, characterized by “imperfect contingencies,” given two types of ...

Applied Linguistics, sociolinguistics and world Englishes

open access: yesWorld Englishes, Volume 45, Issue 2, Page 232-246, June 2026.
Abstract The world Englishes perspective, especially as expressed within Kachru's formulation of the Inner, Outer and Expanding Circles of Englishes, provides a flexible and coherent model of the historical spread of English. While the model has had a profound influence on various subfields of applied linguistics, variationist sociolinguistics ...

Evaluating Bayesian Morphological Clocks for Estimating a Dated Phylogeny in a Relict and Fossil‐Rich Family of Wasps (Hymenoptera, Chrysidoidea)

open access: yesZoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 448-463, May 2026.
ABSTRACT In recent years, a wide array of tools originally developed for molecular dating analyses has been adapted for use within a morphological clock perspective. This is of paramount relevance for taxonomic groups that cannot be sampled in forms suitable for DNA extraction.
