Clarifying the Size–Frequency Relationship in Clownfish Acoustic Signals

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Body size is the principal determinant of acoustic variation in anemonefish, reflecting both the mechanics of sound production and the size‐based structure of their social hierarchies. In Amphiprion percula, the absence of a reported size‐frequency relationship has led to the interpretation that small acoustic differences are rank‐specific. We

Enhancing motivation to learn marine ecology and increase ocean literacy through virtual reality in higher education

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Virtual reality (VR) is increasingly recognized as a tool for enhancing engagement and motivation in education. This is particularly true where access to experiential learning is limited, as is often the case in marine ecology courses. However, the effectiveness of VR for teaching and learning in higher education is poorly understood. Here, we

Virtual Reality as an Intervention for Intraoperative Anxiety and Stress in Regional Anesthesia: A Randomized Controlled Trial

open access: yesHealth Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Regional anesthesia, while offering numerous clinical advantages, can paradoxically heighten intraoperative anxiety and stress due to patients remaining conscious throughout surgical procedures. Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the impact of immersive virtual reality (VR) on intraoperative anxiety, stress markers, and patient

Flexible ionic pressure sensors: From migration‐electronic mechanisms to emerging iontronic paradigms

open access: yesInfoMat, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
Mechanisms, materials, structures, and applications of the FIPSs. Abstract Flexible ionic pressure sensors (FIPS) have emerged as promising candidates for bridging the gap between electronics and biologically compatible interfaces. Unlike previous reviews, which focused primarily on materials or devices, this review presents a classification of FIPS ...

Building Local Resilience Potential on a Day‐to‐Day Basis: The Influence of Stakeholder Dynamics and Contextual Factors

open access: yesJournal of Contingencies and Crisis Management, Volume 34, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to clarify how and under what conditions an area builds (or fails to build) its resilience potential on a day‐to‐day basis. In this way, it contributes to a better understanding of the influence of the antecedents of resilience (e.g., undesirable events, capacity of stakeholders).

How to Fish With Respect: A Transformation of Human‐Fish Relations in Riverside Amazonia

open access: yesAmerican Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 1, Page 63-72, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Riverside inhabitants of the Middle Xingu River Basin, in the Brazilian Amazonia, frequently say that it is important to respect animals and the forest spirits who protect them. In recent decades, however, the development of an iced fish industry in the region has changed what respect means and how it is expressed when it comes to fishing ...
