Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Araneomorph spiders are regarded as a model group for sexual selection studies, while the mating system of mygalomorph spiders remains largely unknown. We here report on the mating behaviour of an Australian wishbone spider species, involving a novel post‐copulatory behaviour for mygalomorph spiders (‘burrow plugging’).

Do camera light traps for moths provide similar data as conventional funnel light traps?
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 498-510, May 2026.We recorded moths using a traditional collection method (funnel light traps, FLTs) and compared them with records made using automated camera light traps (CLTs). In direct comparison, the recorded moth species richness was similar, but the CLTs were able to leverage their advantages over longer periods of time and recorded more species.

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 2, Page 934-948, April 2026.Summary Wind‐driven plant movement generates rapid light fluctuations (windflecks), which can impact canopy photosynthesis. Targeting crop photosynthesis in dynamic light provides a potential path towards boosting yield. Here, we quantified how plant architecture and biomechanics modulate such windflecks across 10 high‐yielding cultivars of winter ...

Wisconet: A Case Study in Meteorological Infrastructure Capacity Development
Meteorological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 2, March/April 2026.Wisconet is one of the newest mesoscale weather networks in the United States, with 78 weather and soil monitoring stations installed across Wisconsin's 72 counties. Its experiences developing new meteorological infrastructure capacity can be leveraged by national meteorological and hydrological services to expand weather observations globally ...

Factors Affecting the Clarity of Nondominant Handwriting Versus Dominant Handwriting
Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Volume 56, Issue 1, February 2026.We are interested in shifting writing from the dominant hand to the nondominant hand in adults that suffer from repetitive strain injuries (RSI) or stroke. Anecdotally, some adults can already write on a whiteboard using their nondominant hand. In this investigation, we examine three factors that differ between dominant writing on paper and nondominant

IET Renewable Power Generation, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.Offshore wind power offers a promising solution to Türkiye's energy and climate challenges, with its extensive coastline and strategic location providing significant potential for development between 2035 and 2053. While no OWTs are currently installed, designated development zones in the Sea of Marmara mark the initial steps toward increasing ...

Linking individual variation in facial musculature to facial behavior in rhesus macaques
The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 12, Page 3105-3121, December 2025.Abstract Facial expression is a key component of primate communication, and primates (including humans) have a complex system of facial musculature underpinning this behavior. Human facial musculature is highly variable across individuals, but to date, whether other primate species exhibit a similar level of inter‐individual variation is unknown ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 130, Issue 18, 28 September 2025.Abstract Monin‐Obukhov similarity theory (MOST) is widely used in numerical weather prediction to model surface fluxes of momentum, heat, and water vapor. However, MOST is based on assumptions of steady state and horizontally homogeneous turbulence that can lead to prediction errors in and around convective storms.

Water Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 9, September 2025.Abstract Beavers (Castor canadensis) alter river corridor hydrology by creating ponds and inundating floodplains, and thereby improving surface water storage. However, the impact of inundation on groundwater, particularly in mountainous alluvial floodplains with permeable gravel/cobble layers overlain by a soil layer, remains uncertain.

Factors Driving Background Choice in Scorpionfish
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.Scorpionfishes are well camouflaged ambush predators. We use behavioural tests in combination with standardised photography and visual modelling to quantify camouflage parameters. We discuss the relevance of chromatic and achromatic cues in the fishes' natural environment for background choice and the potential use of different camouflage strategies ...
