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 ...

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.A nature‐based approach begins by studying an existing natural ecosystem, particularly its plant species composition, to identify suitable native plants for ecological restoration. These plants are then tested through both ex situ and in situ experiments to evaluate their effectiveness in addressing environmental degradation.

A Termite‐Inspired Alternative to Cement
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 27, 2 April 2026.A termite‐inspired composite of clay, cellulose, and lignin forms a dense fibrous network with concrete‐like strength (32 MPa) and superior elasticity, processed at ambient temperature. Abstract Clay combined with organic materials is used by termites as a strong and durable construction material for their mounds with minimal environmental impact. Here,

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 911-925, April 2026.ABSTRACT Three categories of explanations exist for why we age: mechanistic theories, which omit reference to evolutionary forces; weakening force of selection theories, which posit that barriers exist that prevent evolutionary forces from optimising fitness in ageing; and optimisation theories, which posit that evolutionary forces actually select for ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.We documented fine‐scale denning behavior of the Bengal fox (Vulpes bengalensis) using 12.18 h of camera trap video from a peri‐urban landscape in north‐western Bangladesh. Analyses revealed strong site fidelity, crepuscular activity, and structured behavioral patterns including foraging, grooming, vigilance, and social interactions.
