Social organization and habitat use shape the gut microbiome of a marine fish

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 7, Page 1091-1107, July 2026.
This study provides the first evidence linking habitat use—and to a lesser extent social organization—to gut microbiome composition in a wild marine fish. The results indicate that local habitat conditions are the primary driver of microbial variation, while social effects are detectable but weak.

Overcoming Immune Deficiency with Allogrooming

Insects, 2023
Allogrooming appears to be essential in many social animals for protection from routine exposure to parasites. In social insects, it appears to be critical for the removal of pathogenic propagules from the cuticle before they can start an infectious ...

The Forms and Structures of Chimpanzee Algae Fishing

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 6, June 2026.
We use a systematic, multi‐level framework to describe a recently reported chimpanzee tool use behavior—deep‐water algae fishing. Moyen‐Bafing chimpanzees combined 5 Grips and 4 Actions into 22 Techniques. Our data suggest that chimpanzees benefit from maintaining multiple flexible strategies for this dynamic foraging challenge.

Sketching microprotein portraits

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The illustrations of intricate molecular machineries inside cells created by David Goodsell continue to inspire the scientific community. Here, we aim to extend his artworks to include microproteins, a newly recognized class of small proteins with less than 100 amino acids, encoded by small open reading frames.

How Large, Decayed, and Moist Must Rotting Logs Be to Act as Thermally Buffered Microhabitats in Temperate Eastern United States Forests?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study addresses the ecological role of coarse woody debris (CWD) as a thermally buffered microhabitat for saproxylic organisms in temperate eastern US forests. We measured internal and external log temperatures across four seasons in Southern Appalachian forests to test how log diameter, decay stage, and moisture influence thermal buffering.

PENGUJIAN EFIKASI SKALA LABORATORIUM KAYU HASIL FUMIGASI TERHADAP SERANGAN RAYAP TANAH (COPTOTERMES CURVIGNATHUS)

Jurnal Ilmu Pertanian Indonesia, 2012
Fumigated wood was assumed to retain durability level against wood destroying factors. Due to lack of data, fumigated wood durability against wood destroying factors needs to be investigated, especially toward subterranean termites.

Chinese Pangolin Changes Local Vertebrate Assemblages and Contributes to Their Interspecific Interactions by Burrowing and Revisitation

Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 3, Page 499-510, May 2026.
In this study, we systematically analyzed the utilization patterns of Chinese pangolin burrows by sympatric species in Guangdong Province, China, including differences in species composition using burrow mounds and burrow tunnels. We found that repeated visits to burrows by Chinese pangolin promoted the use of burrows by sympatric species, suggesting ...

Toxicity of Thiamethoxam Against Philippine Subterranean Termites [PDF]

Journal of Insect Science, 2007
Thiamethoxam (ACTARA 25WG) was evaluated for its termiticidal properties against three species of economically important subterranean termites (Isoptera: Termitidae) in the Philippines: Nasutitermes luzonicus Oshima, Macrotermes gilvus Hagen, and Microcerotermes losbanosensis Oshima.

Morphological, Molecular, and Isotopic Approaches to Termite Ecology: A Mangrove Case Study

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
Termite communities in Caribbean mangroves, though species‐poor, sustain crucial decomposition and nutrient cycling. Their overlapping niches and stochastic assembly highlight termites' resilience and ecological importance in supporting the functioning of these challenging coastal ecosystems.
