The Economic History Review, Volume 79, Issue 2, Page 575-599, May 2026.Abstract A substantial body of literature has considered warfare a fundamental driver of fiscal capacity. We argue that the nature of the tax base available to governments can either foster or constrain the ability and incentives of central elites to impose their legitimacy once the war is over.

Stem and Progenitor Cells in Human Cardiopulmonary Development and Regeneration
Stem Cells International, 2017 Already during embryonic development, the heart and the lung are thoroughly connected organs. Their interdependence allows our survival in the terrestrial environment by coupling cardiac output and gas exchange.

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 3, Page 550-602, March 2026.Abstract Actinopterygii is a major extant vertebrate group, but limited data are available for its earliest members. Here we investigate the morphology of Devonian actinopterygians, focusing on the lower jaw. We use X‐ray computed tomography (XCT) to provide comprehensive descriptions of the mandibles of 19 species, which span the whole of the Devonian

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 108, Issue 1, Page 128-163, January 2026.Abstract Recent molecular studies have advanced our knowledge of the taxonomic diversity and generic placement of the slender stonebashers, previously placed in the genus Hippopotamyrus, in southern Africa. These fishes were recently transferred to the genus Heteromormyrus whose range encompasses the Kwanza, Kunene, Okavango, Zambezi, Pungwe and Buzi ...

Functional Morphology of the Scaphoid in Extant African Apes, Humans and Fossil Hominins
American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 188, Issue 4, December 2025.ABSTRACT Objectives The morphology of the hominoid scaphoid has played a key role in functional and evolutionary hypotheses related to the emergence of hominin bipedalism and tool use. However, the scaphoid's complex morphology is challenging to comparatively analyze via traditional 2D linear measurements.

Advanced Photonics Research, Volume 6, Issue 11, November 2025.Scanning electron microscopy and white‐light reflectance images of the pillar‐supported distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) are presented before and after thermal shrinkage. The DBR, fabricated via two‐photon polymerization, consists of alternating high‐ and low‐index layers supported by vertical pillars.

Integrative Zoology, Volume 20, Issue 6, Page 1215-1226, November 2025.High phenotypic variation in femoral pore number across 55 populations of Podarcis muralis is best explained by a combination of positive allometry (size) and the local intensity of sexual selection (sexual dimorphism in body size, SSD) or local climatic conditions, notably temperature and vegetation density.
