Spatial Patterns of Avian Stable Isotopes Reveal Ecological Impacts of Climate and Land‐Use Change
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Increased feather δ15N values with pasture coverage reveal an elevated baseline δ15N in grazing landscapes, while broader isotopic niches in farmland habitats reflect agricultural expansion's significant influence on resource use patterns of the avian community.

The Australian Hydromyine Rodents—Their Interspecific Diversity and Reproductive Biology: A Review
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.There are two major groups, the Rattus species and the Hydromyini, in Australia. Clearly, the hydromyine rodents, unlike the Rattus genus, exhibit a diverse array of reproductive biological traits in both males and females, the full evolutionary significance of which has yet to be ascertained.

Ecology and Brain Size Drive Feeding Innovations in Birds
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Larger‐brained birds exhibit higher feeding innovation rates, but ecological factors shape different forms of innovation in distinct ways. Across 955 bird species, phylogenetic path analyses revealed that migration type and feeding strategy mediate the effects of brain size and climate on feeding innovations, illustrating how cognition and ecology ...

Diel net CO<sub>2</sub> exchange of carnivorous Pinguicula is consistent with low-level CAM photosynthesis. [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)In carnivorous butterworts (Pinguicula), CO2 uptake occurs primarily in the light via C3 photosynthesis, yet low‐level CAM photosynthesis, including net CO2 dark fixation, significantly improves the carbon balance of plants, especially under water‐deficit conditions.

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Monitoring semi‐aquatic mammals is essential for their conservation, but it is made difficult by their elusive lifestyle and generally low abundance. Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) monitoring has traditionally relied on scat surveys, but eDNA and camera‐trapping are emerging as promising alternatives.
