The flexible, the stereotyped and the in‐between: putting together the combinatory tool use origins hypothesis

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1235-1254, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Tool use research has long made the distinction between tool using that is considered learned and flexible, and that which appears to be instinctive and stereotyped. However, animals with an inherited tool use specialisation can exhibit flexibility, while tool use that is spontaneously innovated can be limited in its expression and facilitated

Early evolutionary history of the seed

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1511-1553, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

Scheffrahnitermes ubuntu (Isoptera: Apicotermitinae), Description of a New Termite Using a Collaborative Approach to Address the Wallacean Shortfall

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.
The study of Neotropical Apicotermitinae remains challenging due to the large number of undescribed taxa (Linnean shortfall) as well as the scarcity of distributional data (Wallacean shortfall). Despite recent efforts to reduce the first one, the second remains an even more significant challenge.

Sorghum Protein: Ethanol‐Based Extraction to Improve Yield and Properties

open access: yesSustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2026.
A key barrier to expanding the use of sorghum‐based proteins is the challenge related to protein extraction and utilization via conventional methods. This work evaluated a blended solvent approach (ethanol:alkali) for protein extraction from ground, pearled sorghum and wet‐milled sorghum protein meal to improve yield and properties.

Comparison of cone beam CT and low‐field MRI for diagnosing equine foot and pastern lesions

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Education, Volume 38, Issue 6, Page e332-e343, June 2026.
Summary Background While standing magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) of the foot has been extensively studied, descriptions of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) abnormalities in this region are sparse. Objective This study compares CBCT and sMRI for diagnosing lesions in the equine foot and pastern, aiming to assess the complementarity of these ...

Inhibitors Targeting SARS‐CoV‐2 Papain‐Like Protease: Screening, Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation

open access: yesChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 9, 14 May 2026.
In our study, we obtained both non‐covalent and covalent PLpro inhibitors. Additionally, the stable protein‐ligand interactions of the active compound were examined using advanced computational docking and molecular dynamics simulations. The non‐covalent inhibitor 2t showed antiviral activity with an EC50 of 2.89 µM, indicating its potential as a ...

Characterizing the Impact of Nucleoid‐Associated Proteins on HU‐DNA Interactions by Live‐Cell Single‐Molecule Tracking

open access: yesChemPhysChem, Volume 27, Issue 9, 14 May 2026.
The nucleoid‐associated proteins Dps, H‐NS, and HU shape the bacterial chromosome in the deep stationary phase through their interactions with the nucleoid.The bacterial nucleoid undergoes extensive structural reorganization during growth, influenced by nucleoid‐associated proteins (NAPs) whose interactions and effects on nucleoid organization remain ...

Highly Aligned Bacteria Cellulose Yarn Aggregation for Energy Generation and Strain Sensing

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 25, 4 May 2026.
Although high‐performance bacterial cellulose fibers have attracted significant interest for wearable electronics, a self‐powered and high‐mechanosensitive design is still scarce for achieving an intelligent integrated system. Here, we demonstrate an innovative bio‐fabrication strategy to develop a core‐sheath yarn that features the ordered network and
