Body surface temperatures as biomarkers of physiological environmental adaptation in wild birds and mammals

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 336-363, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The ability of individuals to cope with their environment, and therefore the likelihood that they survive and pass on their genes (i.e. fitness), is largely determined by physiological state. Tracking physiological state in wild animals, however, is challenging.

A 50‐year perspective on the use and potential of artiodactyl calcanei in bone adaptation studies

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 437-485, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Sheep and deer calcanei are important models for studying cortical (compact) and trabecular (cancellous) bone adaptation because they are amenable to direct strain measurement (due to lack of surrounding muscles), experience relatively simple/unidirectional bending, exhibit osteon remodelling, and have the most pronounced regional variations ...

Facilitative interspecific interactions in marine vertebrates across scales: from individuals to ecosystems

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 519-538, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Facilitative interspecific interactions (FIIs) confer benefits to at least one participant without detriment to others. Although often less emphasised than antagonistic interactions in ecological studies, this review highlights the significant ecological role of FIIs across biological scales – from individual behaviours to population ...

Emergence, spread, and impact of high‐pathogenicity avian influenza H5 in wild birds and mammals of South America and Antarctica

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract The currently circulating high‐pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) virus of the subtype H5 causes variable illness and death in wild and domestic birds and mammals, as well as in humans. This virus evolved from the Goose/Guangdong lineage of the HPAI H5 virus, which emerged in commercial poultry in China in 1996, spilled over into wild birds,
