Ecological implications and lessons from high pathogenicity avian influenza H5N1 2.3.4.4b in Antarctica

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.
HPAI H5N1 was confirmed in 22 South Polar Skuas and one Kelp Gull on Dismal and Horseshoe Islands, Marguerite Bay, Western Antarctic Peninsula in early 2025, with high mortalities consistent with global trends. Rapid antigen tests showed 90% agreement with rRT‐PCR, supporting their utility for early detection in remote environments.

Menopause Averted a Midlife Energetic Crisis With Help From Older Dependent Children and Parents: A Simulation Study

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives The grandmother hypothesis proposes that ancestral women ceased reproduction midlife to instead provision their grandchildren. An alternative “two‐sex” account proposes that the high energetic burden of caring for slow‐developing offspring was met with biparental investment.
