Genetic and phenotypic responses to habitat fragmentation in a European harvester ant
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 6, Page 1053-1068, November 2025.Our work highlights the use of multiple approaches to evaluate species responses to habitat fragmentation. Less allelic richness in habitats with fewer ant nests and reduced heterozygosity with less allelic richness indicated inbreeding; smaller gyne mesosoma size in less connected habitats indicated reduced flight ability.

Romani StudiesIn this article, we challenge the idea that the development and the dissemination of scientific knowledge about Roma can be understood as “Eastern” or “Western.” Instead, we argue that the classical division between “science” and “pseudoscience” has the ...

HUMAN NATURE OR HUMANITY: BETWEEN GENES AND VALUES [PDF]
, 2012 We are within nature and culture, conditioned simultaneously by genes and meanings. This form of our self-understanding is the result of fundamental modifications that happened in modern philosophical anthropology and of the impact of the natural Science.

Dementia prevalence in the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study
Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 21, Issue 10, October 2025.Abstract INTRODUCTION While there is growing appreciation of the importance of sociobiological determinants of dementia, few lifespan cohorts offer well‐characterized dementia outcomes to explore these aims. We sought to identify dementia prevalence in the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study (WLS), one of the most comprehensive lifespan cohort studies in the ...

Activity schedule and foraging in Protopolybia sedula (Hymenoptera, Vespidae) [PDF]
, 2015 Protopolybia sedula is a social swarming wasp, widely spread throughout many countries in the Americas, including most of Brazil. Despite its distribution, studies of its behavioral ecology are scarce. This study aimed to describe its

Developmental Neurobiology, Volume 85, Issue 4, October 2025.ABSTRACT Honeybee (Apis mellifera) workers exhibit remarkable behavioral plasticity throughout adult life. In spring and summer, they transition through diverse tasks over a short lifespan of 4–6 weeks. This involves dramatic changes in sensory environment and cognitive demands associated with pronounced structural neuronal plasticity in the mushroom ...

Fission‐Fusion Group Dynamics and Cooperative Hunting Stabilise Social Carnivore Populations
Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 10, October 2025.Fission‐fusion subgroup dynamics within prides allows lions to alleviate the foraging cost of sociality. This has the effect of both stabilising ecological interactions with their prey as well as allowing large prides to persist, features of the Serengeti ecosystem that have long eluded researchers.

Context-related acoustic variation in male fallow deer (Dama dama) groans [PDF]
, 2011 While social and behavioural contexts are known to affect the acoustic structure of vocal signals in several mammal species, few studies have investigated context-related acoustic variation during inter-sexual advertisement and/or intra-sexual ...
