Taxonomic and functional diversity of urban bees of the world

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bees play a pivotal role in terrestrial environments. Urbanization can affect these organisms and the ecosystem services they provide. However, knowledge of the global diversity of urban bees is limited. Thus, we summarized data on urban bee species identities and occurrences; compared distributions of all bees with those found in urban ...

A more‐than‐human political ecology of Indonesian songbird trade

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Since its inception, conservation science has considered wildlife trade a problem. In focusing on conservation outcomes, conservationists almost completely ignore the welfare of traded animals and plants and the harms they endure. We developed a political ecology approach that incorporates the interconnectedness of people with animals and ...

A Wider View: Amie Siegel's Panorama and the Role of Contemporary Art in Natural History Museum Critique and Practice

open access: yesCurator: The Museum Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In Panorama, artist Amie Siegel montaged films made by Carnegie Museum of Natural History (CMNH) staff in the 1930s–1970s when documenting their research expeditions and exhibition projects, along with her own footage shot in the museum. Displayed at Carnegie Museum of Art in 2023–2024, the exhibition made visible the often hidden labors of ...

Ecological and functional effects of habitat conversion and seasons on fruit‐feeding butterfly assemblages in tropical dry forests Efeitos ecológicos e funcionais da conversão do habitat e da sazonalidade sobre assembleias de borboletas frugívoras em florestas tropicais secas

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
Land‐use change and seasonality shape the taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity of fruit‐feeding butterflies in tropical dry forests. Pastures reduce phylogenetic diversity and increase wing fluctuating asymmetry, while taxonomic and functional diversity is greater in the wet season than in the dry season.

The Place for Form in Wollheim's Lectures on Formalism and Pictorial Organization

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract At the time of his death, Richard Wollheim was writing a short book on Formalism and Pictorial Organization. Much of it, but by no means all of it, had been published before (it has come out posthumously in its entirety in late 2025). Here I do two things. First, I have provided a rather detailed exegesis concentrating on the parts of the book

Insectary Plant Species Preferences of Predators and Parasitoid Families in a Mediterranean Horticultural Agroecosystem

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of insectary plants to provide alternative food and shelter resources for enhancing natural enemy activity has been established as a common practice in IPM. Candidate flowering plant species have been screened and evaluated for their contribution to enhance life parameters of beneficial insects.

Urban Landscape Influence Orchid Bee Diversity in a Tropical Megacity

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasing urbanization has affected pollinator communities, such as Euglossini bees, which play a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity through the pollination of numerous plants. However, the impact of different levels of urbanization on the diversity of these bees is still not fully understood, especially in large tropical urban ...

Integrative taxonomy reveals four new species of the armoured catfish genus Pareiorhina (Siluriformes: Loricariidae) from the upper Paraná River basin, Brazil

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Four new species of the small‐sized armoured catfish genus Pareiorhina are described from mountain ranges in the Grande River drainage, upper Paraná River basin, based on morphological and molecular species delimitation methods. Molecular analyses based on the cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) marker recovered Pareiorhina as polyphyletic ...

Does ulnar curvature covary with locomotion and substrate use in cercopithecids?

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study investigates ulnar curvature in cercopithecids in relation to locomotor behaviors, introducing an analysis of anteroposterior and mediolateral curvature, using geometric morphometric on 167 specimens (23 species). Although the two curvatures distinguish arboreal and terrestrial quadrupeds, their moderate covariation suggests that they ...

Postcranial anatomy of the Miocene hippopotamoids of Toros‐Menalla, Chad

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We establish a framework for the identification of postcranial remains in hippopotamoids by describing and comparing for the first time two late Miocene hippopotamoids from Toros‐Menalla, Chad (Hexaprotodon garyam, an early hippopotamid, and Libycosaurus bahri, the last African anthracothere) with the common hippopotamus.
