Loss, persistence and reversal of phenotypic traits
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2119-2133, October 2026.ABSTRACT The irreversibility of complex trait loss has long been a tenet of evolutionary biology. However, this idea is increasingly at odds with the numerous documented exceptions across the Tree of Life. We synthesise this growing body of evidence across a diverse array of taxa and traits, exploring the evolutionary conditions that enable ...

Evaluating the use of taxonomy in the IUCN Red List
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.Abstract Taxonomy defines the units that conservationists strive to preserve for future generations. However, the discovery of new species and the taxonomic revision of existing species affect conservation efforts. Despite the importance of taxonomy for a species’ conservation, there is currently no overview of how those leading species extinction risk

The cat's out of the bag: Examining US wildlife trade of felids from 2000 to 2020
Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.Felids feature heavily in the wildlife trade, and an investigation into LEMIS data from 2000 to 2020 showed felid imports were dominated by bobcats and Canada lynx for fur, while tigers and leopards were the most commonly traded cats in the illegal market, primarily as medicinal products.

Quantitative assessment of masticatory muscles based on skull muscle attachment areas in Carnivora
The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2368-2394, September 2026.Abstract Masticatory muscles are composed of the temporalis, masseter, and pterygoid muscles in mammals. Each muscle has a different origin on the skull and insertion on the mandible; thus, all masticatory muscles contract in different directions. Collecting in vivo data and directly measuring the masticatory muscles anatomically in various Carnivora ...
