Peptides as a Therapeutic Alternative Against Leishmaniasis: A Scoping Review
Chemical Biology &Drug Design, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.This scoping review of 79 studies identified 231 antimicrobial peptides with anti‐Leishmania activity, including natural‐derived and synthetic peptides (inspired by natural sources or developed through rational design). Most were evaluated in vitro against promastigote and/or amastigote forms, with synthetic peptides showing a more promising effect ...

An Easy Method to Sample Headspace Pheromones in the Field
Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 5, Page 365-371, May 2026.Females of the orb‐web spider Argiope bruennichi produces a pheromone to attract males for mating. Most of our knowledge about the pheromone and its strategical use by the females is known from the laboratory. While we have confidence in the validity of these results, we wanted to make sure and measure pheromones in the field.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 634-646, May 2026.Despite severe habitat loss, insect species richness, seasonal fluctuations in richness and temporal β‐diversity did not differ significantly among forests adjacent to the mudflow and reference sites. We found higher wet‐season species richness for ants, bees, butterflies and dung beetles, while termites showed no seasonal change; β‐diversity was ...

Social learning in a multi-agent system
, 2004 In a persistent multi-agent system, it should be possible for new agents to benefit from the accumulated learning of more experienced agents. Parallel reasoning can be applied to the case of newborn animals, and thus the biological literature on social ...

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 3, May/June 2026.ABSTRACT Barthelona is a genus of anaerobic flagellates that forms a sister lineage to Fornicata along with Skoliomonas. Although “Barthelona spp.” are known to separate into three distinct lineages, their detailed morphology has not been examined, and their taxonomic classification is incomplete.

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 3, May/June 2026.ABSTRACT Cockroaches are known reservoirs for diverse bacterial microbiomes. However, comprehensive analyses of the eukaryotic communities within cockroaches remain limited. In this study, we selected three long‐term laboratory‐reared cockroach species (Blattella germanica, Periplaneta fuliginosa, and Periplaneta japonica) and performed metabarcoding ...

Human tests for machine models: What lies “Beyond the Imitation Game”?
Journal of Linguistic Anthropology, Volume 36, Issue 1, May 2026.Abstract Benchmarking large language models (LLMs) is a key practice for evaluating their capabilities and risks. This paper considers the development of “BIG Bench,” a crowdsourced benchmark designed to test LLMs “Beyond the Imitation Game.” Drawing on linguistic anthropological and ethnographic analysis of the project's GitHub repository, we examine ...

Drivers of Microbiome Composition Among Helminth Parasites Sharing the Same Insectivorous Bat Host
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 10, May 2026.ABSTRACT Parasitic metazoans are increasingly recognised to form close associations with microbial taxa. Under the holobiont concept, these associations are an eco‐evolutionary unit under joint selection. However, for most parasitic helminth species and particularly those associated with wildlife, these interactions and their effect on parasite ...
