Phylogenetic Analyses of True Ladybirds (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae: Coccinellini) Reveal Directionality in Diet Evolution and Support a Boreotropical Origin of the Tribe

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
A newly generated large‐scale molecular phylogeny of true ladybirds (Coccinellini) clarifies their evolutionary relationships and supports a boreotropical origin in the Paleocene, with multiple independent southward dispersals. Ancestral diet reconstructions suggest an initial specialization on aphids, followed by expansions in host range and ...

ENHYDROSS: A New Mechanistic Model Supports the Trans‐Oceanic Dispersal Capability of Terrestrial Vertebrates

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We introduce ENHYDROSS, a new mechanistic model that uses optimal swimming speed and minimum cost of transport to estimate maximum dispersal distances and durations for vertebrates, enabling assessment of long‐distance oceanic dispersal potential. Applied to a range of extant and extinct animals, the model's estimates generally align with observed data;

A Database of Low‐Temperature Thermochronology in East Asia

open access: yesGeoscience Data Journal, Volume 13, Issue 2, April 2026.
Spatial distribution of low‐temperature thermochronology samples in East Asia. ABSTRACT The low closure temperature of the dating system in low‐temperature thermochronology allows shallow crustal movements to be recorded. In recent decades, this approach has been used extensively in studies of orogenic belt exhumation, sedimentary basin evolution, and ...

A Cross‐Climate Comparison of Molecular Phenology in Three Tropical and Temperate Trees

open access: yesPlant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Latitudinal gradients in temperature seasonality shape the evolution of thermal tolerance and acclimation capacity in organisms. According to Janzen's climate variability hypothesis, tropical species experiencing stable temperatures evolve narrower thermal niches than temperate counterparts.
