Morphometric and Paleobiological Insights Into Pleistocene Sicilian Wolf Populations
Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Pleistocene wolves (Canis lupus) from Sicily represent one of the few known insular populations of this species from that time period. Despite their potential relevance for understanding carnivore adaptations in insular contexts, no dedicated study has previously investigated their morphology and evolutionary significance.

Variable social organization and breeding system of a social parrot revealed by genetic analysis
Ibis, EarlyView.Social organization and contributions to reproduction vary widely within and between species that breed in groups. Such variation often arises from the process of group formation, which drives patterns of relatedness and hence the degree of social conflict and co‐operation between group members.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.The stag beetle Lucanus cervus is a European Protected Species and declining dead wood specialist, but long‐term population trends in the United Kingdom remain largely unknown. We used 82,883 citizen science records and historic data from museum records to compare geographic distribution trends, and results suggest a broadly stable distribution over ...

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.This study investigated how variations in the shape of the astragalus affect tarsal joint behavior, using CT scans. In artiodactyls with a double‐pulley astragalus, the calcaneus shifted plantarly during plantarflexion. This suggests the movement increases hindlimb functional length and contributes to enhanced running speed.

The enigmatic case of Lipoptena sp. in the Bosco della Mesola Nature Reserve (Italy)
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.This is the first report of Lipoptena andaluciensis in Italy, confirmed morphologically and genetically. The presence of L. andaluciensis in Italy dates back many years; it was found on cervids in lowland habitats. A re‐examination of the previous report of the Italian L. fortisetosa is needed.
