Divergence Across Niche Dimensions Reveals Species' Ecological Roles. [PDF]
Ecol LettNatural history gaps hinder our understanding of species' ecological roles and their contributions to ecosystem processes. Using an integrative framework, we analysed multiple niche dimensions of co‐occurring xenarthran insectivores, revealing divergent trophic, spatial and temporal patterns that reflect distinct ecological roles. Our results challenge

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023 A robust minimum age tree shows post K–Pg Placentalia radiation, and subsequent extensive radiation connected to exponentially increased base substitution (mutation) rate including generation of Homo sapiens. This Neogene radiation may have been triggered by expansion of C4 grasses that decreased atmospheric CO2, resulting in global cooling and ...

Fleas and lesions in armadillo osteoderms
Journal of Anatomy, Volume 242, Issue 6, Page 1029-1036, June 2023., 2023 Study of lesions caused by flea's ‘bites’ in the bones on the backs of armadillos show that they are actually made by the host's own osteoclasts, not by the flea's own masticatory apparatus. Panels (a, c, e) are reconstructions from high‐contrast resolution X‐Ray Microtomography and (b, d, f) backscattered electron mode scanning electron microscopy ...
