The Influence of Plant Species Composition on an Endangered Grassland Specialist Reptile, the Hungarian Meadow Viper

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
The study investigated how the horizontal structure and functional composition of grassland vegetation influence the occupancy and density of the highly endangered Hungarian meadow viper. Using plant community data and viper surveys from 59 quadrats, the best models showed that vipers prefer wetter meadows with fewer and shorter plant species, and a ...

Evolution of Peripheral Visual System in the Apoidea: A Role for Food Item Mobility?

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Since larger compound eyes and ocelli altogether improve vision, one may expect that insects specialised in chasing very mobile resources possess such morphological optimisation. By analysing 77 species of bees and wasps, we have found that wasps had larger eyes, but not larger ocelli, than bees.

Factors Associated With Foot Complications Among Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Semi‐Urban Udupi District

open access: yesEndocrinology, Diabetes &Metabolism, Volume 9, Issue 3, May 2026.
A cross‐sectional investigation conducted in semi‐urban Udupi involving 25,000 participants revealed a T2DM prevalence of 3844 individuals. The study noted a high incidence of neuropathy and ulcers, with identified risk factors including diminished sensation, absent pedal pulse, vibration impairment, and inadequate foot‐care knowledge.

Research on Adaptive Irrigation Decision‐Making Method for the Entire Growth Cycle of Water Spinach Based on Reinforcement Learning

open access: yesFood Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
An environmentally enhanced proximal policy optimization (EN‐PPO) method is proposed for adaptive irrigation of water spinach across the full growth cycle. By integrating soil moisture, growth stage, rainfall, and evapotranspiration information, the method improves irrigation timing, water‐saving performance, and rainfall utilization while maintaining ...

ssRNA bacteriophage metagenomes reveal a diverse set of novel protein families

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The bacteriophages with single‐stranded RNA (ssRNA) genomes (class Leviviricetes) are among the simplest known viruses that encode only three core proteins: a receptor‐binding protein, a capsid protein, and an RNA‐dependent RNA polymerase. The number of isolated ssRNA phages has remained very low, but the accumulating RNA metagenome data have ...
