PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.This study examines how the fruits of non‐photosynthetic forest plants in the Monotropoideae (Ericaceae) have evolved into the diversity observed today. By analyzing four Asian species, we identified a shift from dry, dehiscent fruits that release seeds into the air to fleshy, berry‐like fruits adapted for animal dispersal.

Camels as a Climate‐Resilient Linchpin for Sustainable Development in Global Drylands
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Camels represent a significant, yet underutilized, asset for advancing integrated sustainable development in the world's expanding drylands. Previous reviews have examined camels' physiology, milk composition, or pastoral systems in isolation; this review examines their potential as a climate‐resilient linchpin for food systems by synthesizing

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Exploration of new wildlife surveying methodologies that leverage advances in sensor technology and machine learning has led to tentative research into the application of seismology techniques. This, most commonly, involves the deployment of a footfall trap – a seismic sensor and data logger customised for wildlife footfall.

Integrating large mammalian herbivores into Dynamic Global Vegetation Models: Status and next steps
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Zoogeochemistry, the study of how animals influence elemental cycling within ecosystems, bridges the fields of zoology, ecology and biogeochemistry. Yet, most terrestrial ecosystem models, especially Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs), remain largely plant‐centric

Effect of diet supplementation on growth and reproduction in camels under arid range conditions [PDF]
Biotechnologie, Agronomie, Société et Environnement, 2001 Eighteen pregnant dromedary females (Camelus dromedarius) were used to determine the effect of concentrate supplement on growth and reproductive performances in peri-partum period. The females were divided into supplemented (n = 9; S) and unsupplemented (

The Focal v Control Test: Dealing With P‐hacking Concerns in Meta‐analytical Research
British Journal of Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT While overwhelming consensus exists that p‐hacking practices trouble management literature, the issue remains largely undiscussed in meta‐analytical research. This is surprising, since meta‐analyses traditionally deal with these types of systematic biases.
