Kogia Records in Brazilian Equatorial and Southwestern Atlantic Oceans
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.ABSTRACT The pygmy (Kogia breviceps) and dwarf (Kogia sima) sperm whales are cryptic cetaceans characterized by inconspicuous surfacing behavior, small group sizes, and deep‐diving habits, making visual detection particularly challenging. Here, we present the first broad‐scale passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) assessment of Kogia spp.

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.ABSTRACT Biphonation—the simultaneous production of two independent fundamental frequencies within a single vocalization—is a prominent feature of killer whale calls, yet the factors influencing the presence and intensity of heterodyne frequencies, which arise from interactions between these fundamentals, remain poorly understood. We analyzed long‐term

Phenology, Mating Behaviour, and Ecology of a Wild New Zealand Nurseryweb Spider (Dolomedes minor)
New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.Population dynamics are key to the understanding of mating systems, and in particular, sex ratios provide an insight into the evolutionary pressures governing a mating system. Variation in sex ratios can influence mate competition, parental investment strategies, and ultimately shape mating rates and the reproductive success of individuals within a ...

Welcome to the Jungle: An Examination of the Making of Science Standards
Science Education, Volume 110, Issue 5, Page 1278-1301, September 2026.ABSTRACT Nearly 50 million public school students in the United States are required to learn the content prescribed by state‐mandated science standards. Although much is known about the implementation of science standards and teachers' perceptions of them, the development process of these standards remains unclear.
