Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 9, Page 1656-1671, September 2026.For the first time, predation and scavenging networks are directly compared within a single ecosystem. Using an 8‐year dataset of African mammals, including megaherbivores, this study reveals distinct structural rules and body mass constraints, providing a scalable framework for studying consumer–resource dynamics and ecosystem function.

Global meta‐analysis reveals urban‐associated behavioural differences among wild populations
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 9, Page 1539-1557, September 2026.Urbanization drives rapid phenotypic change, yet broad patterns of behavioural responses remain unclear. Using a global phylogenetic meta‐analysis, we show urban populations exhibit increased boldness, aggression, exploration and activity—especially in birds—highlighting consistent behavioural shifts and revealing major taxonomic gaps that limit our ...

Crossroads of the Life of Vittorio Alfieri
Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 375-392, September 2026.Abstract This article examines Vittorio Alfieri's Life as a deliberately constructed narrative of cultural, linguistic, and political self‐fashioning within eighteenth‐century European intellectual networks. Rather than treating the autobiography as a transparent record of experience, the article argues that Alfieri retrospectively reorganizes his ...

Environmental DNADynamic heterogeneous metacommunities can be analyzed as complex networks. However, the interplay of species interactions, local environmental conditions, and spatiotemporal dispersal remains poorly understood.

Fluid Toxicities: Violent Affective Ecologies in Cartagena, Colombia
Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.ABSTRACT Water is at the centre of climate change emergency concerns in coastal cities. It constitutes here a fluid entry point to investigating the socio‐ecological politics of toxicities for residents dwelling with and against contaminated waters in Cartagena, Colombia's urban extensions.

A New Effect Size for Meta‐Analysis of Magnitude: lnM
Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 9, September 2026.Meta‐analyses often ask how strongly groups differ, irrespective of direction, but converting signed effects to absolute values can inflate magnitudes and produce folded, non‐normal sampling distributions. We introduce lnM, a log‐ratio of between‐group to within‐group standard deviations, to quantify direction‐free separation on an approximately normal

Rhythm Across Species: Situating Human Speech in a Comparative Framework
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1563, Issue 1, September 2026.We analyzed speech rhythms from 48 human languages using methods drawn from biology and linguistics. Interonset intervals across languages are surprisingly similar, with a median value of 2 seconds., despite substantial differences in linguistic structure and prosody. A comparative rhythm analysis shows that human speech falls within the range reported

On the impregnation of the ovum in the amphibia [PDF]
Abstracts of the Papers Communicated to the Royal Society of LondonAbstract The author states that this communication to the Royal Society is part of a series of investigations on development, on which he has been for some years engaged, and which was commenced in a paper on that of the Myriapoda, published in 1841, in the Philosophical Transactions. The plan followed in these investigations has been
