From Oral Candidiasis to Candidemia: A Review of Superficial to Invasive Progression

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
Recent and limited evidence indicates that oral candidiasis can disseminate Candida albicans throughout the body, leading to invasive candidiasis, such as candidemia, a life‐threatening infection. Considering antifungal resistance and global outbreaks of emergent non‐albicans Candida and related yeasts, murine models help understand dissemination ...

Continental accumulation of fads2 copy numbers allows sticklebacks to thrive across a diversity of nutritional landscapes

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Nutrients, including vital organic compounds, vary in availability across ecosystems, with the potential to act as a source of selection for traits that increase nutrient acquisition and biosynthesis. Compared to freshwaters, marine ecosystems are richer in the omega‐3 long‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (n‐3 LC‐PUFA) docosahexaenoic acid (DHA ...

Evidence for dispersal personality in the guppy across ecological conditions, with a minor effect of relative brain size

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Individuals that disperse typically exhibit specific phenotypical traits that facilitate dispersal and settlement success, known as ‘dispersal syndromes'. Consequentially, characterizing dispersers is crucial to understand other processes such as metapopulation dynamics and biological invasions.

Dress for success: climate pressures predict fur insulation and body size in natural and reintroduced populations of a threatened marsupial

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Phenotypic variation in functional traits underpins responses to environmental gradients, influencing thermoregulation, energy balance, and long‐term persistence under climate extremes. Climate change is altering these gradients globally, yet in species that have already disappeared from much of their range, adaptive phenotypes may have also been lost,

Convergent digestive adaptation to resource limitation in an insular lizard across a microgeographic archipelago

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1372-1385, August 2026.
Replicated mainland–islet populations of the Skyros wall lizard reveal consistent divergence in digestive physiology, including gut morphology, passage time, digestive efficiency and enzyme activity. These results show how ecological variation in resource availability can shape digestive performance across populations in insular environments.

Wing morphology changes with habitat availability and elevation in an alpine-specialist bird

Global Ecology and Conservation
Intraspecific morphological variation of organisms is known to be influenced by several factors, but the role of habitat availability has been scarcely investigated.

The role of viability selection in shaping short‐ and long‐term consequences of early‐life conditions: An experiment in the Alpine swift

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1401-1418, August 2026.
In an experimental brood‐size manipulation in Alpine swifts, smaller nestlings were selectively lost during growth, eliminating treatment differences in adult size, yet individuals from enlarged broods showed higher reproductive performance. Abstract Environmental conditions experienced early in life can shape growth, morphology and survival, and can ...

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1256-1284, August 2026.
This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

The Ultramorphology and Sexual Dimorphism of Antennae and Sensilla in the Pale Grass Blue, Pseudozizeeria maha (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae)

Insects
The pale grass blue, Pseudozizeeria maha, is a small lycaenid butterfly widely distributed across Asia. Due to its exclusively diurnal lifestyle and conspicuous sexual dimorphism in wing coloration, vision has traditionally been regarded as the primary ...
