Research monopolization in the biological sciences: Charismatic species are partly to blame
People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 11, Page 2986-3001, November 2025.Abstract Substantial disparities in research excellence exist between scientists, which are largely explained by the considerable influence of elite institutions and the resources available to them. Cumulative advantage has become a dominant force behind social stratification in science, increasing the tendency of researchers to monopolize the ...

With or Without a System: How Category‐Specific and System‐Wide Cognitive Biases Shape Word Order
Cognitive Science, Volume 49, Issue 11, November 2025.Abstract Certain recurrent features of language characterize the way a whole language system is structured. By contrast, others target specific categories of items within those wider systems. For example, languages tend to exhibit consistent order of heads and dependents across different phrases—a system‐wide regularity known as harmony.

Hologenomics Reveals Specialized Dietary Adaptations in the Mengla Snail‐Eating Snake
Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 40, October 27, 2025.Dietary adaptation studies from a holobiome perspective are scarce beyond mammals. This research reveals how genomic and microbial interactions drive dietary specialization in the Mengla snail‐eating snake, with evidence of gut symbiont convergence between reptiles and mammals.

Education to Action: Improving Public Perception of Bats
Animals, 2016 Public perception of bats has historically been largely negative with bats often portrayed as carriers of disease. Bats are commonly associated with vampire lore and thus elicit largely fearful reactions despite the fact that they are a vital and ...
