Biological relevance and methodological implications of unexpected hearing thresholds in a diving bird

open access: yesScientific Reports
Many animals alternate between different media, such as air and water, thanks to specific adaptations. Among birds, penguins (Sphenisciformes) have the most extreme morphological, physiological, and behavioural adaptations to their amphibious lifestyle ...

An inquiry‐based activity to teach about insects of medico‐legal importance: Lessons from Redi's landmark experiment

open access: yesNatural Sciences Education, Volume 55, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract In this article, we describe an inquiry‐based teaching activity developed in a public high school in Brazil. The objectives were to (a) develop an experimental activity grounded on the students’ autonomy for formulating and testing hypotheses, (b) address Biology topics from a historical and multidisciplinary perspective, (c) stimulate skills ...

Telecological Collapse: The Inevitability of Climate Breakdown in the Transmedial Podcast Drama Forest 404

Synapsids and sensitivity: Broad survey of tetrapod trigeminal canal morphology supports an evolutionary trend of increasing facial tactile specialization in the mammal lineage

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 864-911, April 2026.
Abstract The trigeminus nerve (cranial nerve V) is a large and significant conduit of sensory information from the face to the brain, with its three branches extending over the head to innervate a wide variety of integumentary sensory receptors, primarily tactile.

From indoor to outdoor: Behavioural response of fish to noise exposure of different temporal structures

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2015
Human activities, such as shipping and pile driving, produce substantial amounts of man-made noise underwater. The noise may negatively affect fish, causing physical injuries, hearing loss, physiological stress, acoustic masking and behavioural changes ...
