Two new species of Waiparaconus (Octocorallia) of the enigmatic Family Waiparaconidae

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Waiparaconus, a Late Cretaceous to early Cenozoic fossil, was long interpreted as a pedunculate cirripede, but is now tentatively placed in the Pennatuloidea (Order Scleralcyonacea, Class Octocorallia). New material from the Snow Hill Island Formation (lower Maastrichtian) at Vega Island, Antarctica is described and specimens from the Gingin ...

Risk Ranking of Microbiological Hazards in Food (2015–2019)

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 4, Issue 3, July 2026.
Abstract Microbiological food safety risks arise from pathogens that can contaminate food at different points along the food chain. Exposure to these hazards can result in illnesses that can vary widely in severity and duration, depending on factors such as the specific pathogen involved, the amount of the pathogen ingested, and the susceptibility of ...

Update of the list of qualified presumption of safety (QPS) recommended microbiological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 24: Suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until March 2026

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The Qualified Presumption of Safety (QPS) process was developed to provide a harmonised safety assessment approach to support EFSA Scientific Panels and Units. The QPS approach assesses the taxonomic identity, body of knowledge and safety of microorganisms intentionally added to the food and feed chain.

Biosensors for Biotoxins Detection and Monitoring

Advanced Sensor Research, Volume 5, Issue 6, June 2026.
This review examines state‐of‐the‐art biosensing platforms for biotoxin detection, including antibody‐, aptamer‐, CRISPR‐, nanopore‐, whole cells‐ and MIP‐based sensors. It highlights advances in ultra‐sensitive detection, real‐matrix validation in food and water, and multiplexed analysis, and discusses how the integration with machine learning ...

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Sentience in cephalopod molluscs: an updated assessment

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1311-1333, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This article evaluates the evidence for sentience – the capacity to have feelings – in cephalopod molluscs: octopus, cuttlefish, squid, and nautilus. Our framework includes eight criteria, covering both whether the animal's nervous system could support sentience and whether their behaviour indicates sentience.

Vacuolization as a Novel Approach to Cancer Therapy

Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, Volume 40, Issue 6, June 2026.
This review discusses the novel strategy of inducing vacuole formation in cancer cells using small molecules, that induce nonapoptotic cell death mechanisms, such as paraptosis, oncosis, autophagy, and methuosis, and its potential in overcoming resistance to apoptosis‐based cancer therapies.
