Functional morphology and biomechanics of the locomotor apparatus in the large Late Triassic carnivore Postosuchus kirkpatricki (Archosauria: Rauisuchidae)

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
A three‐dimensional model is used to analyze the locomotor biomechanics of the large Late Triassic archosaurian reptile Postosuchus kirkpatricki. The study finds that it is more uncertain than previously concluded whether it was quadrupedal or bipedal, and plantigrade or digitigrade, but it clearly had locomotor specializations including large hindlimb

Myths, Furphies and Red Herrings Associated With Dingo Ecology and Management

open access: yesEcological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Variability in the inferential strength or reliability of different scientific studies creates uncertainty in the status of knowledge on a given subject, giving rise to multiple myths, furphies and red herrings in scientific discourse. This is particularly true in the case of dingo ecology and management in Australia, which exemplifies common ...

Unique Population or Unique Species? Genetic Insights Into the Pygmy Freshwater Crocodiles of Northern Australia

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
There is debate over whether isolated populations of “pygmy” Australian freshwater crocodiles are a unique species. This is a conservation concern as these populations face unique challenges. We found some population differences which support these populations as being ecologically unique and valuable for targeted conservation.

Gharial (Gavialis gangeticus, Gmelin 1789) Beyond Protected Areas of Nepal: Population, Reproduction, and Seasonal Migration of Gharial in the Karnali River and Its Tributaries

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Populations of Critically Endangered gharial (Gavialis gangeticus) in Nepal are restricted primarily within or adjacent to protected areas. There are few records of gharial occurrence from the Karnali River and its tributaries outside protected areas in southwestern Nepal but there is very little information available for gharials residing in the ...

A Review of the Effects of Freshwater Habitat Quality on Aquatic & Semi‐Aquatic Turtles

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This literature review aims to provide a comprehensive review of the relationship between freshwater turtles and their aquatic environments. We also highlight areas which have been over‐ or under‐studied and offer recommendations for future research. ABSTRACT Freshwater turtles and terrapins require an aquatic habitat as part of their natural ecology ...

Intangible drivers of tolerance shape human–elephant coexistence in Southwest China

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2763-2780, August 2026.
Abstract Southwest China is home to a small but rapidly expanding population of Asian elephants (Elephas maximus), whose growth has intensified conflicts with people living in shared landscapes. These conflicts result in substantial economic losses and occasional human casualties. This coexistence paradox—where conservation success leads to significant

Comparative endocranial anatomy in the crocodylians Leidyosuchus canadensis and Stangerochampsa mccabei from the upper Cretaceous of Alberta, Canada

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 2, Page 264-291, August 2026.
Leidyosuchus canadensis and Stangerochampsa mccabei share endocranial features such as posterior projection of a neurovascular canal in the maxilla and a paratympanic sinus system most similar to those of small‐bodied and young extant crocodylians, suggesting that these pedomorphic features may reflect the ancestral crocodylian condition.
