The complex interaction between mammalian herbivores, climate, soil and fire has shaped the evolution and distribution of plant spinescence across biogeographical realms

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Evolution of spinescence in mimosoid legumes. Summary The evolutionary arms race between plants and herbivores led to numerous plant adaptations, including spinescence. However, the balance between herbivory and abiotic conditions in the evolution of spinescence remains unclear. We integrated phylogenetic, geographic, and trait data for 2686 species of

Seeing Through an Ant's Eyes: Do Entomopathogenic Fungi Extend Their Cognition to Their Hosts?

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Post‐cognitivist approaches recognize cognition as a phenomenon that involves not just brains but all the sensorimotor apparatus of organisms. This means that brains are not always required for the emergence of cognition and that every organism can, in principle, be cognitive, unlocking a theoretical framework to explain the complex adaptive ...

Local Tests of English in Global Contexts: A Malaysian Case Study

World Englishes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global tests of English are usually used globally and local tests locally. However, this global–local dichotomy has been challenged by test localisation, globalisation and glocalisation. An emerging critical question in this regard is whether local tests of English can be used locally and globally at the same time.
