Nocturnal Gardeners: Dispersal of Large Seeds by Tent‐Roosting Bats in the Lacandon Rainforest, Mexico

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Tent‐roosting bats in the Lacandon Forest, Mexico, play a previously undocumented role in dispersing large seeds (> 5 mm) from mature forest species with important ecological and human uses. Sampling 21 feeding tents across two protected areas yielded 2137 seeds from 54 species, with seed deposition rates significantly higher under bat tents than in ...

Sex‐Specific Control and Incomplete Matings: Sperm Removal Behavior in a Bush Cricket Species

open access: yesEthology, Volume 132, Issue 3, Page 194-203, March 2026.
In this study, we investigated which sex influences the duration of sperm removal behaviour (SRB) in the ornate bush cricket, Metaplastes ornatus. Female traits showed a weak effect on SRB duration, and lighter females mated more frequently. Frequent unsuccessful mating terminations shortened SRB indicating high level of sexual conflict.

Sex Differences in Metabolite–Immune Circuits of Neuroinflammation

open access: yesImmunological Reviews, Volume 338, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Sex is a fundamental yet underexplored determinant of human neuroinflammation. Across autoimmune, neurodegenerative, and post‐infectious neurological syndromes, males and females exhibit consistent differences in disease vulnerability, progression, and immune tone.

Wildfire risk and municipal bond yields

open access: yesJournal of Risk and Insurance, Volume 93, Issue 1, Page 118-162, March 2026.
Abstract Wildfires increased in frequency and severity over the past 30 years, raising the exposure of municipalities. We study whether municipal bond yields reflect wildfire risk and find that the municipal bond market begins pricing wildfire risk around 2000.

Functionaries: A Distributional Approach to Institutional Analysis

open access: yesJournal for the Theory of Social Behaviour, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper outlines a distributional approach to institutional analysis, reconceptualising institutions as distributions of knowledge and activity across people. We argue that institutionalisation and institutional change are best understood by focussing on actors with the requisite knowledge and motivation to keep institutional patterns going,

Geochemical and petrographic re‐evaluation of ungrouped iron meteorites from Western Australia

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 444-465, March 2026.
Abstract Under the current classification scheme, ungrouped irons make up ~11% of all recognized iron meteorites. A further ~7% of iron meteorites are currently classified as simply “irons” and are yet to be fully classified. To potentially classify these meteorites, newer approaches, including either statistical modeling or advanced geochemical ...
