Fluorination of Silver Phosphate in Nickel Reaction Vessels for Triple Oxygen Isotope Analysis
ABSTRACT Rationale Increasingly, more laboratories are measuring the triple oxygen isotope values of phosphate. Standardization is key to having good interlaboratory results. Here, we present the triple oxygen isotope values of a suite of standards using fluorination and compare them with previously reported triple oxygen isotope values. Methods Silver

Disparity of turbinal bones in placental mammals
Abstract Turbinals are key bony elements of the mammalian nasal cavity, involved in heat and moisture conservation as well as olfaction. While turbinals are well known in some groups, their diversity is poorly understood at the scale of placental mammals, which span 21 orders.

We introduce ENHYDROSS, a new mechanistic model that uses optimal swimming speed and minimum cost of transport to estimate maximum dispersal distances and durations for vertebrates, enabling assessment of long‐distance oceanic dispersal potential. Applied to a range of extant and extinct animals, the model's estimates generally align with observed data;

Dietary management is an important factor affecting the health and survival of critically endangered wildlife. The natural habitat showed a significant seasonal difference which was also higher than in introduced habitat. Reintroduced banteng exhibit dietary flexibility and adaptability to different natural habitats.

This study investigates how large mammalian herbivores shape arthropod communities in African savannas, using a broad gradient of herbivory types and intensities to assess these effects under real‐world, non‐experimental conditions. Abstract Savanna ecosystems support unique biodiversity and provide livelihoods for millions of people.

Harnessing iEcology data to uncover invasive species behaviour
Abstract Invasive animal species threaten ecosystems, biodiversity and human livelihoods. Behavioural traits such as boldness, exploratory tendencies, learning ability and social interactions are known to influence invasion success. Yet these behavioural traits remain underexplored due to challenges in observing behaviour across large spatial and ...
