Epigenetic Perspectives on Maternal Gut Microbiota's Impact on Embryonic and Fetal Development
Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 3, June 2026.This review summarizes how maternal health and nutrition shape gut microbiota via epigenetics to regulate embryonic development. It highlights microbiota‐embryo interactions, disruption by prenatal chemical exposures, and personalized nutrition for disease prevention, offering novel insights and therapeutic targets.

Developmental Dynamics, Volume 255, Issue 6, Page 533-547, June 2026.Abstract Background Previous experiments inducing leakage of embryonic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) suggest the necessity of intraventricular CSF pressure (PCSF) for brain morphogenesis. Nevertheless, how embryonic PCSF occurs is unclear, especially in utero. Results Using a Landis water manometer, we measured PCSF in fetal mice isolated from the amniotic

The Evolution of Masturbation in Birds
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.Masturbation has been sporadically documented across animal groups, yet the evolutionary origins and persistence of this sexual behaviour are largely unexplored. Through combining targeted surveys with published accounts, we test hypotheses about why masturbation occurs using a phylogenetically broad dataset on the presence or absence of masturbation ...

Testing the Energetics of Gestation and Growth Hypothesis for Human Secondary Altriciality
Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT The pronounced neurological immaturity, yet increased birthweight of human neonates relative to other primates, known as secondary altriciality, is traditionally attributed to obstetric constraints arising from pelvic adaptations for bipedal locomotion and childbirth—the so‐called obstetrical dilemma.

Exploring Floristic Diversity and Medicinal Plant Uses in Venda, Limpopo, South Africa
Feddes Repertorium, Volume 137, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Plants have been an important source of medicine for thousands of years. To better understand the current diversity and usage of medicinal plants, floristic studies are essential. This report documents an expedition conducted in the Venda region of Limpopo, South Africa. The study was carried out in Shanzha and surrounding villages, as well as

Information Shocks, Legal Liability and Physician Decisions
Health Economics, Volume 35, Issue 6, Page 896-909, June 2026.ABSTRACT Physician adoption of new information about a medical procedure can affect patient outcomes. Medical malpractice law may influence physician use of such information. We analyze how physician reactions to information shocks regarding vaginal births after cesarean sections (VBACs) in the 1990s were mediated by tort reform and the standard used ...
