Effect of the microbiome on pathogen susceptibility across four Drosophilidae species
Insect Science, EarlyView.Four Drosophilidae species were used to investigate how variation in the host microbiome influences susceptibility to infection. Microbial composition and abundance differed among species and treatments. The effects of microbiome manipulation on host survival were both species‐ and pathogen‐specific.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Brain size may be influenced by the cognitive demands of sociality (social brain hypothesis). We used microCT to compare CNS and brain volumes in social versus solitary huntsman and crab spiders. Social huntsman spiders had larger arcuate and mushroom bodies, while social crab spiders had larger visual neuropils.

Transcriptomics Unveil Dsx1 as a Critical Regulator in Sexual Dimorphism of Crustaceans
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Sexually dimorphic traits are involved in reproductive competition and are shaped by sex‐biased gene expression. This study identifies Dsx1 as a key male‐biased gene in Morinoia aosen and demonstrates through RNA interference that its disruption feminizes male‐specific T3 leg structures.

Decades of Enclosure Protection Exert Composite Effects on Grassland Grasshopper Communities
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Decades of enclosure protection have altered grasshopper community structure, with species‐specific effects on population dynamics. For the low‐mobility grasshopper Chorthippus fallax, abundance did not differ strongly between exclosure‐protected and overgrazed areas, but its egg development duration was longer in exclosures. The two C.

A century of inertia in quantitative ecology education
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Ecology has undergone a profound methodological transformation through the rapid growth in new technologies, data volume, statistical innovation and analytical sophistication. These developments create unprecedented opportunities for novel ecological insights, but have also magnified longstanding concerns about quantitative training, which ...

Late Antique Allāh: Ancestral Arabian Religion and the Monotheistic Zeitgeist
Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This essay addresses the ongoing scholarly tension between the monotheistic interpretations of late pre‐Islamic Arabian religion, pioneered by G. Hawting and P. Crone, and the traditional accounts of rampant Arabian polytheism found in later Islamic literary sources.

Addiction, EarlyView.Abstract Aims ‘Mad honey’ is produced when bees collect nectar from Rhododendron species containing grayanotoxins, naturally occurring diterpenoid toxins that can produce dose‐dependent intoxication. It has long been embedded in Nepalese medicinal and ritual practices but has recently become part of global psychedelic discourse. This study examined how
