Estimating Dispersal Kernels for Stream Periphyton Using Drifting Lake Algae

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Summary of methods and procedures organized by aim and specific objectives. Drifting lake algae used as a proxy for periphyton dispersal. ABSTRACT Dispersal patterns are a key component of many ecological and evolutionary processes, yet they remain understudied in microbial species due to technical challenges.

Recent advances in multifunctional soft robots: A materials–structures–systems co‐design perspective for synergistic integration

FlexMat, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 452-501, September 2026.
Abstract Soft robots, engineered from highly compliant materials, offer superior adaptability and safety in unstructured environments compared to their rigid counterparts. Recent advancements, fueled by bio‐inspiration and material programmability, have led to the rapid co‐evolution of their core modules: actuation, sensing, protection, energy, and ...

Pumping Venom: Valvilli Architecture in Diacamma (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) and Implications for Stinger Functionality

Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 9, September 2026.
The insect stinger is among the best‐known venom‐delivery structures, yet its valvilli—paired flaps within the valve chamber—remain poorly understood. Using micro‐CT, histology, serial block‐face SEM and CLSM in the ant Diacamma nr. indicum, we show that the valvilli are not uniformly flexible flaps but are materially differentiated structures with ...

Foreign body ingestions in children and adolescents: A position paper of the European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) endoscopy special interest group

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, Volume 83, Issue 3, Page 539-554, September 2026.
Abstract Foreign body (FB) ingestion is a relatively frequent occurrence in the pediatric population with multiple potential sequelae. Appropriate intervention may range from urgent endoscopic retrieval to watchful waiting, with multiple variables influencing the decision.

Psychological Safety, Medical Trauma and Adaptive Functioning in Long‐Term Conditions: A Multidisciplinary Integrative Approach

MultiPsych, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Living with a chronic health condition (CHC) can involve sustained exposure to uncertainty, bodily threat and disruption to identity, relationships and anticipated life trajectories. Although a substantial evidence base exists for psychological interventions in long‐term illness, theoretical accounts remain fragmented across modalities and ...

Search and Passage Are Decoupled for Migrating Trout Kelts at Multi‐Exit Dam

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 7, Page 1520-1538, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Longitudinal and lateral river connectivity have been drastically reduced over time, with hydropower development as a major driver of fragmentation. While fishways are widely implemented to support upstream migration, downstream passage remains a major challenge.
