The Linnaean revolution – A history of the Natural System

TAXON, Volume 74, Issue 5, Page 1011-1034, October 2025.
Abstract A very brief history of the Natural System (NS) is presented, focusing on angiosperms. The account is divided into four parts. The first, “Setting the stage”, gives an outline of my understanding of evolutionary ontology and how this reflects on taxonomy.

Interspecies synchrony in departure decisions from stopover sites: evidence using a multi‐species capture–recapture model

Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 9, September 2025.
During migration, migratory bird species often aggregate at the same stopover sites due to geographical features that channel migratory routes (coasts, valleys) or locally abundant food resources (e.g. reedbeds, fruiting bushes). In migration ecology, however, stopover behavior is often studied on a single species, limiting the generality of inferences

French birds lag behind climate warming [PDF]

, 2007
Biodiversity responses to climate warming have been documented through the study of changes in distributions, abundances or phenologies of individual species or in more integrated measures such as species community richness and composition.

Reply to Edgeworth et al. (2024): The Anthropocene Is a Time Interval, and More Besides

Earth's Future, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract The Anthropocene was introduced to denote a dramatic, ongoing, planetary shift from prolonged relative Holocene stability, driving the Earth system into a new functional state outside its natural variability. Now stratigraphically‐grounded, the Anthropocene is de facto a new epoch, not the subjective filtering of all anthropogenic impacts in ...

Plant‐Based Analogs: Potential Chemical Risks & Mitigation Strategies

Journal of Food Science, Volume 90, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Meat, dairy, and egg analogs are products designed to mimic the structural and sensorial properties of their animal counterparts. These analogs have been developed to address diverse nutritional requirements, dietary preferences, and ethical considerations, resulting in a substantial net growth in market share in recent years.

The History of the Panmictic Population Concept and Its Legacy in Contemporary Population Genetics

Annals of Human Genetics, Volume 89, Issue 5, Page 274-284, September 2025.
ABSTRACT The panmictic population concept is at the heart of population, evolutionary and conservation genetics. However, in nature, true panmictic populations are vanishingly rare. As an idea conceived for modelling evolutionary dynamics, it has been thought that the assumption of panmixia was formalised during the development of the Modern Synthesis.

Thou shalt not say "at random" in vain: Bertrand's paradox exposed

, 2018
We review the well known Bertrand paradoxes, and we first maintain that they do not point to any probabilistic inconsistency, but rather to the risks incurred with a careless use of the locution "at random".
