Burrow Selection by Temminck's Ground Pangolins (Smutsia temminckii) in Northern Botswana

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT In arid and semi‐arid environments, many species use underground burrows for thermoregulation, reproduction, and to reduce predation risk. In Botswana, Temminck's ground pangolins (Smutsia temminckii) shelter in burrows during the day, and burrow density is thought to be a key indicator of habitat suitability for these animals.

Spinifex, fire, and fate

Geographical Research, Volume 63, Issue 4, Page 685-696, November 2025.
Abstract Bushfires occur regularly in inland Australia because of the flammability of spinifex (Triodia species). Spinifex and fire are tied together by infertility: the plant is of limited palatability to consumers and accumulates into fuel. Spinifex regrows with cumulative rainfall, and fires recur every couple of decades.

Environmental factors have a greater influence on photosynthetic capacity in C4 plants than biochemical subtypes or growth forms

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 3, Page 1205-1224, November 2025.
Summary Our understanding of how photosynthetic capacity varies among C4 species and across growth and measurement conditions remains limited. We collated 1696 CO2 response curves of net CO2 assimilation rate (A/Ci curves) from C4 species grown and measured at various environmental conditions and used these data to estimate the apparent maximum ...
