Mosquito iDNA Reflects Fine Scale Composition of Tropical Fauna

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 6, November–December 2025.
We used mosquito iDNA to investigate fine scale ecological patterns of birds and mammals in the tropical savanna woodlands of Kakadu National Park. Revealing that mammalian richness is influenced by site, while avian richness changes with season. While community composition is influenced by fire during the dry season and vegetation during the wet ...

From Pigeons to Raptors: Avifauna Across the Early Upper Paleolithic Sequence of Manot Cave, Israel

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 35, Issue 6, Page 526-541, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Avian exploitation during the Early Upper Paleolithic (EUP) is frequently interpreted as a marker of socioeconomic intensification across Europe and the Levant. However, the specific character of avian exploitation in the Levant has remained unexplored due to the scarcity of detailed zooarchaeological analyses. This study addresses this gap by

A putative case of honeyeater‐driven sympatric speciation associated with corolla shape shift resulting in a new New Caledonian Oxera species

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, Volume 63, Issue 6, Page 1299-1311, November 2025.
Investigating the morphology and ecology of two sympatric species of the Oxera (Lamiaceae) genus in New Caledonia and their respective putative pollinators showed that two species of honeyeaters are likely the preferred pollinators because of their respective sizes, bill and tongue lengths, and behavior.
