External morphology of the first and second instars of Lecanodiaspis tingtunensis (Coccoidea: Lecanodiaspididae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The first and second instars of Lecanodiaspis tingtunensis are described and illustrated. First instars are distinguished from other species of Lecanodiaspis by the arrangement of dorsal 8-shaped pores in six complete longitudinal rows and a partial row ...

Language machines: Toward a linguistic anthropology of large language models

open access: yesJournal of Linguistic Anthropology, Volume 36, Issue 1, May 2026.
Abstract Large language models (LLMs) challenge long‐standing assumptions in linguistics and linguistic anthropology by generating human‐like language without relying on rule‐based structures. This introduction to the special issue Language Machines calls for renewed engagement with LLMs as socially embedded language technologies.

Hip Morphology–Based Osteoarthritis Risk Prediction Models: Development and External Validation Using Individual Participant Data From the World COACH Consortium

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, Volume 78, Issue 4, Page 489-500, April 2026.
Objective This study aims to develop hip morphology‐based radiographic hip osteoarthritis (RHOA) risk prediction models and investigates the added predictive value of hip morphology measurements and the generalizability to different populations. Methods We combined data from nine prospective cohort studies participating in the Worldwide Collaboration ...

Persistent Decline of the Piscivorous Cyprinid, Opsariichthys uncirostris, in Lake Biwa Despite Recovery Trends Among Other Native Species

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
Three‐lips is the sole piscivorous cyprinid in Japan, which pursues lures aggressively. This study surveyed the persistent decline of the species over thirteen years. This is a mature male individual caught in 2016. ABSTRACT Freshwater ecosystems are increasingly recognised as highly susceptible to anthropogenic disturbances.

A new species of Anastrepha from Amazonia : with redescriptions of A. caudata Stone and A. hendeliana Lima (Diptera: Tephritidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Three species of Anastrepha from upper Amazonia are described or redescribed and illustrated. They are considered closely related and are placed in the A. caudata species group. Anastrepha caudata Stone 1942 is redescribed based on the holotype, the only

Predation Under Heat Stress: The Significance of Body Size to the Outcome of an Acarine Predator–Prey Interaction

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
(A) The predator Phytoseiulus persimilis and its prey Tetranychus urticae were reared under mild or extreme heat waves from egg to adulthood, which resulted in asymmetrical thermal shifts of adult body sizes in favour of prey under extreme heat waves. (B) Single couples of adult predators and prey, reared under mild heat waves interacted at mild heat ...

Genomics of Caddisfly (Insecta: Trichoptera) Species Associated With Terrestrial Habitats

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Species of Limnephilidae (tube case making caddisflies (Trichoptera)) occur across a wide range of habitats, from cold headwater streams to stagnant pools to even terrestrial environments. We present high‐quality genome assemblies and annotations from two species that are associated with terrestrial environments: Enoicyla pusilla (Burmeister, 1839) and

Spatial Distribution of Parthenium hysterophorus: Impact on Plant Species Diversity and Soil Characteristics in Gamo Zone, Southern Ethiopia

open access: yesPlant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The invasions are severe and have an impact on pasture lands, farmlands, and conservation areas. However, there is little data on Parthenium hysterophorus L. (Parthenium) mapping using GIS in the Southern Region of Ethiopia. The objective of this study was to map the spatial distribution of Parthenium which affects the diversity of plant ...

Selective leaf surface defenses: trichomes trap herbivorous leafminers but spare parasitoid wasps

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 4016-4025, April 2026.
Hooked trichomes on kidney bean leaves selectively entrap leafminer flies but rarely affect parasitoid wasps. This morphological barrier enables pest suppression with minimal impact on beneficial insects, offering insights for breeding pest‐resistant cultivars compatible with biological control. Abstract BACKGROUND Leafminers [e.g., Liriomyza trifolii (
