Deer Antler δ18O Records Desalination in Israel's Water Supply

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 40, Issue 19, 15 October 2026.
ABSTRACT Rationale Stable oxygen isotope ratios (δ¹⁸O) in mammalian tissues are widely used to reconstruct past climates, seasonal patterns, and animal origins. These analyses assume that animals drink local rainwater—an assumption now challenged by large‐scale anthropogenic water management.

Quantitative assessment of masticatory muscles based on skull muscle attachment areas in Carnivora

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2368-2394, September 2026.
Abstract Masticatory muscles are composed of the temporalis, masseter, and pterygoid muscles in mammals. Each muscle has a different origin on the skull and insertion on the mandible; thus, all masticatory muscles contract in different directions. Collecting in vivo data and directly measuring the masticatory muscles anatomically in various Carnivora ...

Spatiotemporal Thermal Variation Modulates Phenotypic Plasticity in Freshwater Turtle Growth, Behavior, and Sex

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
Using a dataset that spans more than 50 years, we found that northern map turtles (Graptemys geographica) – an ectothermic species with temperature‐dependent sex determination – exhibited faster somatic growth rates, altered thermoregulatory behaviors, and a female‐biased sex ratio in recent years which were characterized by warmer, longer growing ...

Investigating the Possibility of Wolbachia‐ and Cardinium‐Induced Parthenogenesis in Two Mite Species

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
In arthropods, thelytokous parthenogenesis, in which females develop from unfertilised eggs, is often associated with reproductive manipulation by endosymbiotic bacteria such as Wolbachia and Cardinium. This study investigated whether thelytokous parthenogenesis in two mite species, Amblyseius herbicolus (Phytoseiidae) and Czenspinskia ...

In the Bag: Leaf Litter‐Filled Artificial Cover Objects Reveal Urban Habitat Associations for Predatory Invertebrates (Onychophora: Peripitoides novaezealandiae and Araneae: Uliodon spp.)

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
Velvet worms and vagrant spiders are two predatory invertebrate taxa that can occupy urban forests, but understanding their habitat associations in these environments has been hampered by a lack of effective monitoring methods. We assessed how forest age and type affected the numbers of velvet worms and vagrant spiders detected within leaf litter ...
