Understanding the Hygienic Behavioral Dynamics of Ants Using Multi‐State Models
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 4, Page 361-370, April 2026.Leaf‐cutting ants adjust grooming to pathogen risk and vulnerable nestmates. Multi‐state Markov models reveal shorter, frequent self‐grooming bouts and reduced allogrooming persistence under stress, optimizing social immunity via stigmergic decision‐making.

Tannin resin-boron associations: Leaching and biological resistance [PDF]
, 2012 The easy leaching of boron in wood preservation formulations has allowed to use this fungicide only for short term applications. The recently discovered adduct with flavonoids allows boron to resist longer periods of time within wood and consequently ...

Diet Outweighs Vertical Transmission in Shaping Dung Beetle Larval Gut Microbiomes
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 7, April 2026.ABSTRACT The microbiome is central to host development and adaptation, yet the balance between vertical and environmental acquisition, and how hosts shape surrounding microbial communities, remains poorly understood. Dung beetles rely on microbial symbionts to extract nutrients from vertebrate dung, with part of their microbiome vertically inherited ...

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 2, Page 921-933, April 2026.Summary Forest health is critical for sustaining ecosystem services like carbon sequestration. Heart rot, a widespread disease in upland northern hardwood forests, may affect greenhouse gas (CO2 and CH4) fluxes, but its impacts remain poorly measured. Using non‐destructive tomography and direct gas flux measurements, we quantified the effects of heart ...

Towards homeostatic architecture: simulation of the generative process of a termite mound construction [PDF]
, 2008 This report sets out to the theme of the generation of a ‘living’, homeostatic and self-organizing architectural structure. The main research question this project addresses is what innovative techniques of design, construction and materials could ...

The problem of free will is child's play
Philosophical Investigations, Volume 49, Issue 2, Page 147-154, April 2026.Abstract I argue that the essence of ‘free will’ is control, the ability to do otherwise and that this ability is an acquired skill: We can and do see people acquire it, as for example small children learn to play and to do all the other things that human agents characteristically do.
