Jak to jest być nietoperzem? Refleksje przy lekturze eseju Thomasa Nagela

Zoophilologica, 2015
The article asks questions about the human cognitive abilities – how it is to be an animal of a species different from one’s own. Using as a basis the doubts of the philosopher Thomas Nagel, the author proceeds to discuss the standpoint of ethnologists ...

Measuring maternal line selection driven by differential survival in ex situ collections for plant conservation

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Ex situ plant collections may be increasingly needed to protect representative samples of threatened or rare species and provide plant material for conservation translocation. A primary problem in these ex situ collections is loss of intraspecific variation due to plant death. Different management actions would be required depending on whether

Précis of: "Birds, Bats and Minds: Tales of a Revolutionary Scientist, Donald R. Griffin"

Animal Sentience
Donald Griffin co-discovered bat sonar and founded the field of echolocation. He studied bird migration and founded Cognitive Ethology, the study of animal awareness and mental experiences. In all these endeavors, he faced hostile opposition.

Consumption in Asset Returns

The Journal of Finance, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2271-2330, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Using information in returns, we identify the stochastic process of consumption. We find that aggregate consumption reacts over multiple quarters to innovations spanned by financial markets. This persistent component accounts for over a quarter of consumption variation. These shocks command a large and significant risk premium, driving a large

The Fungal Pathogen Fusarium graminearum Can Hydrolyse Tryptamine‐Derived Hydroxy‐Cinnamic Acid Amide Defence Compounds, and Generates Highly Increased Auxin Levels in Wheat via Copper Amine‐Oxidases

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Fusarium graminearum can cleave tryptamine‐derived hydroxycinnamic acid amides and convert the released tryptamine into auxin, suppressing plant defence responses; aoxΔ7—septuple knockout of copper amine oxidases blocks auxin formation. ABSTRACT The important cereal pathogen Fusarium graminearum is not only able to produce trichothecene toxins, like ...

Neurotechnological Natives and the Neurotechnology Shift: A Research Agenda for the Brain‐as‐Interface Era

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1562, Issue 1, August 2026.
Neurotechnologies are moving beyond clinics into workplaces, schools, and consumer markets, turning the brain into a shared interface with digital systems—a transformation here termed the neurotechnology shift. This article introduces neurotechnological natives as a heuristic hypothesis to guide interdisciplinary research across three dimensions ...

Inosine monophosphate dehydrogenases are key players for functional development in Arabidopsis

The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 3, August 2026.
SUMMARY In plants, nucleotide de novo synthesis is required throughout development to provide building blocks for the synthesis of DNA, RNA and nucleotide‐derived cofactors. Inosine Monophosphate Dehydrogenases (IMPDH) are key enzymes in de novo guanylate synthesis.

Mechanical Loading Induces Distinct and Shared Responses in Endothelial and Muscle Cells and Reveals Exercise‐Like Molecular Profiles

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 14, 31 July 2026.
Mechanical loading of human endothelial and muscle cells induced several distinct and shared molecular responses, many of which are commonly observed after exercise in vivo. Both cell types secreted acetate and endothelial cells increased serine synthesis from glucose.
