An Increase in Animal Diversity was Facilitated by Ecologically‐Driven Brain Complexity Throughout the Cambrian

BioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 4, April 2026.
The Brain‐First Hypothesis suggests that the Cambrian transition from animals with simple body plans and simple brains to more complex animals was driven by a selection for brains with increased neural processing, following increased ecological complexity, and the networks underlying brain development were co‐opted to pattern other complex systems ...

Standardized Protocols for Soil Fauna Extraction and a Call for Cross‐Lab Implementation

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We present harmonized methodologies, assembled by an international group of experts, for extracting soil‐ and litter‐inhabiting nematodes, enchytraeids, microarthropods, and larger invertebrates. The protocols are illustrated with images and videos, and include advice for overcoming the most frequent issues (’expert tips’) for increasing extraction ...

A Novel Light‐Induced Collective Circular Movement in Armadillo sordidus Isopods

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We describe an interesting aggregative behavior in terrestrial isopods. We conclude that this behavior is in response to intense artificial lighting. ABSTRACT Collective movement in terrestrial isopods has rarely been documented and almost never discussed.

Harvestmen (Arachnida: Opiliones) as Overlooked Predators of Anurans in the Neotropics

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study reports novel field observations of harvestmen (Opiliones: Cranaidae) preying on live frogs across multiple Neotropical localities, documenting active capture and consumption of anurans by these arachnids. Our findings expand the known trophic role of harvestmen as opportunistic vertebrate predators and highlight the need to consider ...
