The impacts of biological invasions

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

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

open access: yesBiological 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 ...

Relación biogeográfica entre cangrejos dulceacuícolas y acociles a lo largo de la zona mexicana de transición: revaluación de la hipótesis de Rodríguez (1986) Biogeographic relationship of freshwater crabs and crayfish along the Mexican transition zone: reevaluating Rodríguez (1986) hypothesis

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2012
A partir de la hipótesis planteada por Rodríguez (1986) sobre una posible exclusión biogeográfica entre acociles de la familia Cambaridae y cangrejos de agua dulce de la familia Pseudothelphusidae a lo largo del centro y sur de México, se han hecho ...

Ocean Romance: Japanese Treefrogs Exploit Coastal Pools for Breeding Under Salinity and Habitat Constraints

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Topographical features, including elevation and the distance of pools from the coastline and forest, influenced breeding‐site use in coastal landscapes. Pool characteristics such as area and depth, together with abiotic conditions particularly salinity, as well as dissolved oxygen, and temperature, further shaped breeding‐site suitability and patterns ...

Habitat and Anthropogenic Determinants of Otter Presence in the Karnali River, Western Nepal

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Despite increasing human pressures, otters persist along the Western Bend of the Karnali River. Occurrence of otters decreases with higher house density and presence of dogs. The study indicates otters tolerate some general human activity but strongly avoid settlements and dogs, highlighting the need for dog management, reduced settlement pressure, and

Biogeography of intertidal invertebrates is influenced by latitude along the west coast of Australia

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Along the west coast of Australia, intertidal rock platforms support high invertebrate diversities that provide vital ecosystem services, yet patterns in diversity are not well understood. Here, we document and examine the invertebrate assemblages on intertidal rock platforms in Western Australia and delineate ecoregions according to assemblage ...
