From armadillos to sloths: Patterns and variations in xenarthran coronary anatomy

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 8, Page 2199-2220, August 2026.
Abstract Species of the superorder Xenarthra play a vital ecological role in the Neotropics. Despite their evolutionary significance, anatomical studies on their coronary circulation remain scarce. This study investigated the coronary anatomy of 82 hearts from nine Xenarthra species across the Dasypodidae, Myrmecophagidae, and Bradypodidae.

Individualised niches: an integrative conceptual framework across behaviour, ecology, and evolution

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1793-1804, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Individuals differ. While seemingly trivial, this insight has nevertheless led to paradigm shifts, as three key fields of organismal biology have seen marked changes in key concepts over the past few decades. In animal behaviour, it has become increasingly recognised that behavioural differences among individuals can be stable over time and ...

Understanding Sex‐Specific Behavioral States of Bobcats in Response to Highway Proximity in South Texas

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Roads are a major source of landscape fragmentation that can influence movement patterns, survival, and behavioral states of carnivore species. Understanding their behavior and response to roads is crucial for developing effective mitigation strategies such as wildlife crossing structures, exclusion fencing, and habitat connectivity planning ...

Non‐Native Rodents Dominate Understory Frugivory in the Eastern Caribbean Islands

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We investigated how non‐native mammals have disrupted frugivory by using artificial fruits and camera traps to measure native and non‐native frugivory interactions on 13 islands in the eastern Caribbean. We found that non‐native Rattus sp. were responsible for nearly 80% of all frugivorous activity and that increased non‐native mammal activity was ...

Livestock Depredations and Prevention Strategies to Foster Human‐Carnivore Coexistence in Western Mongolia's High Mountain Systems

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
The implementation of visual deterrents (i.e., Foxlights) proved to be effective in reducing the number of night‐time livestock depredations by both snow leopards and wolves. ABSTRACT The decline of large carnivores and the overabundance of livestock practices contribute significantly to ecosystem degradation.
