Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1406-1462, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Returning a lost process by reintroducing a locally extinct digging marsupial [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
The eastern bettong (Bettongia gaimardi), a medium-sized digging marsupial, was reintroduced to a predator-free reserve after 100 years of absence from the Australian mainland. The bettong may have the potential to restore temperate woodlands degraded by

Exotic Plant Pathogen Reduces Habitat and Foraging Activities of a Digging Mammal

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
The invasive plant pathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi causes extensive damage to Australian ecosystems and likely degrades the habitats of many animals. This study investigated the impact of P. cinnamomi invasion on habitat and foraging of a bandicoot species.

Scaling of internal joint distance in the elbow of small‐ to medium‐sized mammals: Implications for range of motion analyses

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 6, Page 950-971, June 2026.
We investigated the internal joint distances (IJDs) of the humero‐ulnar and humero‐radial joint, within a sample of 15 small‐ to medium‐sized mammals and report isometric results. We also found that joint poses had no effect on IJDs and that IJDs scale isometrically within small species.

Integrating image‐based phenotyping and marker‐assisted selection to optimize the selection of potato clones for chipping and resistance to viruses X and Y

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the most important non‐cereal crop for global food security. To meet the demands of the processing, potato clones with good frying quality and industrial yield and resistance to major viral diseases are required. This study aimed to integrate image‐based phenotyping and marker‐assisted selection to optimize the

Use of road underpasses by mammals and a monitor lizard in eastern Australia and consideration of the prey‐trap hypothesis

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Road networks continue to expand globally with predictable effects on ecological systems. Research into the effectiveness of road underpasses and overpasses for wildlife has been concentrated in North America and Europe.

Cultural Competency Is Key to Enhanced Collaborative Management of Culturally Significant Entities

Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Collaborative management underpinned by shared decision‐making is increasingly accepted as an effective tool to halt the decline in biodiversity and support species and ecosystem recovery. Indigenous people are lobbying to mandate collaborative management of Culturally Significant Entities (CSEs): species and ecological communities to which ...

Platypus and Echidnas [PDF]

Pacific Conservation Biology, 1997
Platypus and Echidnas presents the proceedings of a conference held at the University of New South Wales in July 1991. Platypus and Echidnas incorporates an extensive information source obtained from studies undertaken since the first symposium on "Monotreme Biology" in 1978, while highlighting deficiencies in our knowledge, and subsequently suggests ...
