Antipredatory Strategies of Anurans: An Updated Conceptual Review
Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 9, Page 662-708, September 2026.To unravel the evolutionary dynamics of predator–prey interactions, we propose an updated, three‐tiered classification of anuran antipredatory strategies. By mapping non‐behavioral, individual, and group defenses across five functional phases, this integrative framework introduces the concept of synergetic coupling.

Astragalus ecomorphology in Quaternary elephantids
Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 5, Page 666-671, July 2026.ABSTRACT The astragalus plays a fundamental role in the graviportal locomotion of proboscideans, reflecting the biomechanical constraints imposed by large body masses. This study analyses the morphological variability of the astragalus in Quaternary elephantids using linear biometry and 3D geometric morphometrics, incorporating an unpublished ...
