Elevating the importance of Risk of Bias assessment for ecology and evolutionary biology

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Systematic reviews and meta‐analyses are key evidence synthesis methods for informing future research, interventions and policy. As the validity of their conclusions depends on the primary studies they synthesise, assessing the internal validity of the included studies is essential.

An efficient Bayesian phylogenetic approach for joint inference of continuous and discrete trait evolution under a state‐dependent Ornstein–Uhlenbeck model

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Macroevolutionary adaptation of a continuous trait to different discrete states across species can be modelled using a phylogenetic state‐dependent Ornstein–Uhlenbeck (OU) process. Existing inference methods face two challenges. First, although efficient likelihood algorithms for continuous trait evolution models exist, none have been ...

Nest Survival Models and Genomics Illuminate Hybridisation Attempts, Guiding Culturally Informed Management to Recover a Critically Endangered Seabird

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Long‐term monitoring has revealed hybridisation attempts between the Critically Endangered Kuaka Whenua Hou (KWH, Pelecanoides whenuahouensis) and the abundant Kuaka (P. urinatrix). Here we use modelling based on population monitoring data in tandem with genomic data to investigate these attempts and the risk they pose to KWH recovery.

Understanding Mammalian Habitat Use With a Multi‐Species, Multi‐Scale Approach: The Jaguar Protection Corridor in Guaviare, Colombia

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
We applied a multi‐scale, multi‐species framework to quantify how landscape structure and human infrastructure influence habitat use across a terrestrial mammal community within a biological corridor in the Colombian Amazon. Forest cover and spatial configuration influenced wildlife habitat use at spatial scales associated with species dispersal ...

AI‐Assisted Morphometric Analysis and Molecular Phylogeny for a Dactylogyrid (Monopisthocotyla) Skin Parasite of an Ornamental Crenuchid Fish From Brazil

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a formal description and taxonomic appraisal of Cacatuocotyle adrianoi sp. n., a Neotropical parasite belonging to the family Dactylogyridae, integrating AI‐assisted morphometric analyses, molecular data, and phylogenetic reconstruction. Phylogenetic analyses recovered Cacatuocotyle adrianoi sp. n.

Budding speciation, mitochondrial capture and introgression between surface and cave lineages in the Asellus aquaticus species complex

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Replicated pairs of ancestral and evolutionarily derived populations provide opportunities to test hypotheses about the deterministic laws of evolution. The Asellus aquaticus species complex is an invertebrate model system with several independent surface‐to‐cave transitions and a complicated and unresolved evolutionary history.
