Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT The piscicide antimycin has been used as an effective fish toxicant to eradicate nuisance fishes because it is not as detectable by fish as other chemical piscicides. We evaluated the effects of antimycin and its detoxicant, potassium permanganate, on periphyton and benthic macroinvertebrates during a brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis ...

Kinetics of Elastic Recoil in the Wings of the cicada, Dundubia rufivena
Natural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.We quantify elastic recoil in cicada wings using high‐speed videography, revealing faster bending than torsional recoil. Wing stiffness increases when attached to the thorax, demonstrating a body‐wing spring system and highlighting that elastic recoil must be understood through whole‐organism mechanics rather than isolated wing properties.

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract The American toad (Anaxyrus americanus) is a native insectivorous amphibian common in agricultural fields in eastern North America. Past research on this and related species suggests potential for positive or negative effects on pest populations, depending on the prevalence of intraguild predation.
