Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.Body size changed differently between male and female sagebrush lizards over time, with females increasing more than males. Lizards also showed greater increases in body size in populations that experienced warmer and wetter climatic shifts. ABSTRACT Changes in body size are among the most frequently documented biological responses to recent climate ...

Extending Without Extensors: Morphofunctional Insights and Qualitative Experiments on Myriapod Legs
Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 9, September 2026.The distal joints of myriapods are hinge joints and therefore cannot be extended by intrinsic muscles. Using confocal laser scanning microscopy, µCT, semi‐thin sections, and experimental approaches, we investigated the morphology and extension mechanisms of myriapod legs.

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.Loxomerus antipodes Liebherr and Marris, sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Carabidae), is described from the New Zealand subantarctic Antipodes Islands archipelago. Loxomerus antipodes, sp. nov., was considered conspecific with Loxomerus brevis Blanchard, 1853, from the Auckland Islands, but it is diagnosed from that sister taxon based on numerous anatomical ...

Phenology, Mating Behaviour, and Ecology of a Wild New Zealand Nurseryweb Spider (Dolomedes minor)
New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.Population dynamics are key to the understanding of mating systems, and in particular, sex ratios provide an insight into the evolutionary pressures governing a mating system. Variation in sex ratios can influence mate competition, parental investment strategies, and ultimately shape mating rates and the reproductive success of individuals within a ...

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 ...

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.As habitats change, the effectiveness of animal‐mediated seed dispersal increasingly depends on animal responses to altered structure and resources. With habitat loss and degradation accelerating across the tropics, understanding how dispersers' foraging behavior and movement influence seed removal and deposition is critical to promoting forest ...
