Landscape heterogeneity affects developmental and dispersal‐related traits of a butterfly in agricultural landscapes

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 2, March 2026.
Abstract The loss and fragmentation of natural habitats due to the intensification of agricultural land use have detrimental impacts on the biodiversity of arthropods. The reduction of natural habitats results in a decreased availability of essential resources, which may select for rapid development and phenotypes enhancing dispersal ability.

Pickering Emulsion‐Embedded Hydrogel Microbeads: Synergistic Stabilization and Controlled Release of Tributyrin for Colonic Delivery

open access: yesFood Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.
Hierarchical emulsion‐filled hydrogel microbeads were constructed via polyelectrolyte complexation for the colon‐targeted delivery of tributyrin. This system effectively minimizes gastric loss while enabling precise colonic release to alleviate colitis, providing a robust platform for functional dietary interventions. ABSTRACT Tributyrin (TB), a stable

Gonadal Development in Larvae of the Paedomorphic Ambystoma mexicanum (Amphibia: Urodela)

open access: yesJournal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 3, March 2026.
This research analyzes the gonads of Ambystoma mexicanum larvae of both sexes, revealing significant changes such as the onset of vitellogenesis in females at 9 months of age and oocytes with signs of maturity at 12 months. In males, gonadal maturity occurs earlier, with a notable cephalocaudal and lateromedial testicular regionalization, and ...

Five New Species of New Zealand Hemiandrus Ander 1938 Ground wētā (Orthoptera: Anostostomatidae)

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 1, March 2026.
Five new species of ground wētā endemic to Aotearoa New Zealand are described based on morphological traits and informed by phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial DNA sequences. Hemiandrus briarae sp. nov. is a robust species living on mountains in northeast South Island, and H. dryadis sp. nov. is a gracile denizen of forests in northwest South Island.
