Evolutionary and Ecological Determinants of the Phenology of Births in Wild Large Herbivores, a Systematic Review

open access: yesMammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.
This semi‐systematic review supports the two dominant drivers of birth phenology: the seasonality and predation hypotheses. Even though there is evidence of their importance, the effects of female, offspring and population characteristics remain marginally accounted for. Asian and South and Central American species are currently understudied.

Citizen science reveals host‐switching in louse flies and keds (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) during a period of anthropogenic change

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 305-322, June 2026.
A study of louse flies in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, and Ireland found 212 different interactions between Hippoboscidae and their hosts, of which 70 were previously unrecorded. No louse flies were found on aquatic species of birds. Host‐switching to gulls (Laridae) has occurred during a period in which these species have started relying on ...

DIY: A Practical Field‐to‐Sequencer Workflow for Metabarcoding the Diet of Terrestrial Carnivore Species

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 4, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Metabarcoding of faecal samples is a powerful, non‐invasive approach for investigating the feeding ecology of carnivores, revealing prey diversity and unexpected dietary components with greater resolution than traditional methods. However, the approach remains technically demanding, as challenges and potential biases arise at every stage, from

Graman Revisited Once Again: A Reanalysis of the Late Holocene Legacy Faunal Assemblage From GB4 Rockshelter, New South Wales

open access: yesArchaeology in Oceania, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 199-220, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The archaeological site Graman B4 provided one of the first records of substantial dietary change in ancient Australian Aboriginal society. Initial examination of the faunal remains from this site suggested that Late Holocene hunters reduced their focus on high‐ranked kangaroos to increasingly rely on arboreal possums; and that these ...

Ruminants (Giraffidae and Bovidae) from Kanapoi

open access: yesJournal of Human Evolution, 2020
We update here our recent revision of the Kanapoi ruminants and describe recently collected material. We now regard the occurrence of reduncins as doubtful, we revise the identification of a large raphicerin as being more probably Gazella, and we add Gazella cf. janenschi and the Cephalophini to the faunal list.
