Unveiling sex dimorphism in the healthy cardiac anatomy: Fundamental differences between male and female heart shapes

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend We present a shape modelling‐based morphological analysis of sex differences in cardiac anatomy. We conduct our analysis on 456 healthy subjects from the UK Biobank (227M/229F) to uncover sex‐based differences in healthy cardiac morphology.

Acute and Chronic Toxicity of Sediments Containing Platinum and Palladium on Freshwater Benthic Organisms Chironomus riparius and Hyalella azteca

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 46, Issue 4, Page 1151-1163, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The expanding demand for platinum group elements (PGEs) in industrial and medical applications has led to their increasing accumulation in aquatic sediments. However, their ecological impacts remain poorly understood, particularly for sediment‐dwelling invertebrates. This study assessed the toxicity of platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd) across a

Rainfall shapes the physiological condition, but not the body size, of an introduced dung beetle in Brazilian pastures

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 346-355, April 2026.
Understanding rainfall‐driven physiological shifts in dung beetles is crucial to predict how climate change may affect the fitness and persistence of key insect species in tropical pastures. We compared body size, dry, lipid and muscle masses of Digitonthophagus gazella collected during dry and rainy seasons in Brazilian pastures to assess the effects ...

Systemic Sonic Hedgehog Signaling Links Intestinal Nutrient Sensing With Sex‐Specific Type 2 Diabetes Progression

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 6, 31 March 2026.
Here, Systemic Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) emerges as a sex‐specific metabolic signal and potential biomarker. Across two large cohorts, Shh rose selectively in females with type 2 diabetes, with a sharp pre‐diagnostic increase in about one‐quarter of cases, indicating value for early risk stratification.

Modeling species co‐occurrence effects to inform invasive barred owl management and recovery of the northern spotted owl

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 2, March 2026.
Abstract Robust estimation of wildlife populations represents a cornerstone of wildlife research and provides critical information to guide management, including identifying at‐risk species, setting harvest rates, and evaluating predator and invasive species control programs.

Genetic Sexing of the African Penguin, Spheniscus demersus Using Noninvasive Guano and Molted Feather Samples

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study developed a noninvasive method for the DNA extraction and PCR‐based genetic sexing of S. demersus using guano and molted feather samples. Two primer sets (CHD1F/R & 2550F/2718R) were used that target sex‐specific length polymorphisms in the CHD1‐Z and CHD1‐W genes on the CHD1 sex chromosomes. Using methods optimized for the extraction of DNA

Territorial birds of prey adjust their flight behaviour over the course of the breeding season depending on their breeding success

open access: yesJournal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.
Flight plays a central role in the life histories of birds but is extremely energy demanding. Reproduction is also associated with high energy demands. We might thus expect to see differences in movement behaviour between individuals that breed successfully, those that breed unsuccessfully, and those that do not breed, assuming that individuals adapt ...

Three decades of western sandpiper stopover dynamics during northward migration on the Pacific Coast of North America, 1992–2022

open access: yesJournal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.
Shorebirds typically spend more time fueling and refueling during migration than they spend in actual flight, and consequently their stopover ecology has important implications for fitness and conservation. We examined spatial variation and long‐term changes in stopover duration of radio‐tagged western sandpipers Calidris mauri over three decades on ...
