Multiple Longitudinal Tracts in the Cephalopod Arm Sensorimotor System

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 534, Issue 5, May 2026.
Octopuses have a rich behavioral repertoire, coordinating complex movements along the length of an arm. The neural circuits controlling these behaviors are poorly understood. We employ tract‐tracing to investigate longitudinal tracts in the octopus arm.

Spey: Smooth inference for reinterpretation studies

SciPost Physics
Statistical models serve as the cornerstone for hypothesis testing in empirical studies. This paper introduces a new cross-platform Python-based package designed to utilize different likelihood prescriptions via a flexible plug-in system. This framework empowers users to propose, examine, and publish new likelihood prescriptions without developing ...

Population dynamics of Townsend's big‐eared bats: effect of age and drought on survival

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.
We estimated age‐specific yearly survival of female Townsend's big‐eared bats in Inyo and Mono Counties, California. We found that both juvenile and adult survival were negatively impacted by drought, and that detection probability was lower for hand‐recapture than for bats detected via pass‐through antenna arrays.

Future Drought Will Lead to a Decrease in Vegetation Resilience in China

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The interactions between climate change and socioeconomic development have led to significant changes in vegetation resilience in response to drought in China. However, an understanding of the changes in vegetation resilience in response to drought events under different future scenarios (SSP126, SSP245, SSP370, and SSP585) is lacking. Drought

Multi‐Sensor Spatiotemporal Fusion for 30‐m Daily Gapless Snow Cover Mapping

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract High spatiotemporal resolution remote sensing data is crucial for monitoring heterogeneous mountainous snow cover. Although spatiotemporal fusion presents a promising approach for high‐resolution snow monitoring, cloud contamination and sparse observations remain a critical constraint on its large‐scale and long‐term implementation. To address

Contourline based modelling of vague regions [PDF]

, 2002
This paper introduced a model based on contour lines to represent a vague region modeled as a fuzzy set. The model allows the user to adjust the accuracy of the membership function to the needs of the application and can enforce the continuity of this ...

On the Construction of Multivariate Drought Indices: Theoretical Foundations and Practical Implications

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Drought indices represent essential tools for monitoring and evaluating drought conditions and evolution. Univariate indices employ the Probability Integral Transform to map data onto the standard Gaussian domain. Extending such a Gaussian normalization procedure to multivariate settings requires the usage of the Kendall distribution function ...

Drought and Fruit and Vegetables Production in California

Agricultural Economics, Volume 57, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT California's increasingly frequent and intense droughts are a pressing problem for the state's agriculture and the US food supply. California supplies more than half of all fruit and vegetables produced in the United States. This paper quantifies the severity of the problem by estimating the impacts of the drought on California's fresh fruit ...

The impossibility of non-signaling privacy amplification

, 2009
Barrett, Hardy, and Kent have shown in 2005 that protocols for quantum key agreement exist the security of which can be proven under the assumption that quantum or relativity theory is correct.

Transmembrane Protein GbTMEM209 Inhibits Fibre Elongation via Competitive Interaction With GbHOX3 in Gossypium barbadense

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 3087-3105, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Sea Island cotton (Gossypium barbadense) produces premium‐quality fibres, yet the genetic basis underlying its fibre development remains elusive. Here, we identify two key non‐synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs, G/C and G/A) in the gene Gbar_D13G024080, which encodes the TRANSMEMBRANE PROTEIN 209 (TMEM209). These SNPs resulted in
