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 ...

Myths, Furphies and Red Herrings Associated With Dingo Ecology and Management
Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT Variability in the inferential strength or reliability of different scientific studies creates uncertainty in the status of knowledge on a given subject, giving rise to multiple myths, furphies and red herrings in scientific discourse. This is particularly true in the case of dingo ecology and management in Australia, which exemplifies common ...

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 8, Page 1995-2048, August 2026.Abstract Despite documented ecomorphological shifts toward an herbivorous diet in several coelurosaurian lineages, the evolutionary tempo and mode of these changes remain poorly understood, hampered by sparse cranial materials for early representatives of major clades. This is particularly true for Therizinosauria, with representative crania best known

Animal Research and One Health, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 278-292, August 2026.This study firstly isolated a tuna‐derived gut probiotic Acinetobacter seifertii YFT067. Dietary administration of YFT067 played significant roles in promoting growth performance, SCFAs production, lipid absorption, and metabolism of the host, indicating YFT067 as a promising probiotic candidate for enhancing tuna aquaculture productivity through ...

Diet of bird‐like troodontid dinosaurs: synthesis of a contentious clade
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1760-1778, August 2026.ABSTRACT Troodontidae is a clade of small‐to medium‐sized maniraptoran theropods that mainly lived in Laurasia (modern Asia, North America and Europe) during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods and are believed to have had a variety of diets. The uniqueness of troodontid teeth suggests that they diverged from the typical flesh‐based diet of non‐avian ...

Classifying avian drinking behaviour: ecological insights and implications in a changing world
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1851-1862, August 2026.ABSTRACT Water is a fundamental currency of life, and its availability significantly influences animal behaviour, physiology and distributions. However, our knowledge around the dependence on water for drinking and the direct and indirect mechanisms driving related behaviours remains partial in the context of changing climates. Here, we review patterns
