The fallacy of general purpose bio-inspired computing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Bio-inspired computing comes in many flavours, inspired by biological systems from which salient features and/or organisational principles have been idealised and abstracted.

Pedology and its relationship to cropping decisions in Kamuli District, Uganda

open access: yesSoil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Kamuli District offers an opportunity to understand pedology and cropping decisions in an area that has been underdocumented. Broad, flat summits and narrow convex shoulders are composed of residuum formed from Precambrian granite. Valleys mirror the summits, that is, broad flats composed of alluvium that are rimmed by narrow concave toeslopes.

The Termite Biological Control Continued Optimism Must Face its Ongoing Absence of Potential

open access: yesSociobiology
The following piece is unusual in all respects, as it does not follow the rigorous objective nature of a scientific review. As a fair warning, it is instead a rather personal opinion piece, so as to hopefully generate much-needed discussions within a ...

Evaluating Soil Carbon Models for Sub‐Saharan Africa: Revealing Knowledge Gaps in Subtropical and Tropical Soil Biogeochemistry

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Process‐based soil carbon (C) models are increasingly used to project regional and global C cycle responses to climate change. However, the development and evaluation of these models has largely focused on temperate regions of North America and Europe.

Innovative Processing Technologies for Clean‐Label Liquid Foods With High Protein Content: Advances in Process Development and Quality Evaluation

open access: yesComprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The demand for protein‐based liquid foods is increasing due to growing awareness of the impact of diet on human health. This trend has prompted the food industry to explore minimal processing technologies that ensure both safety and clean‐label appeal.

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

open access: yesIntegrative 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 ...

Evaluating the Molecular Potential and Interpretability of DNA in Historical Spirit Collection Media

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 4, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Advancements in historical genomics increasingly leverage museum collections to study past ecosystems, species interactions and biodiversity. Formalin‐fixed, ethanol‐preserved specimens, once thought inaccessible to molecular analyses due to DNA degradation, are emerging as valuable genomic resources.

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

open access: yesBiotropica, 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.
