How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2081-2102, October 2026.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

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 ...

Mitochondrial Genomes of Three Melampus Species (Ellobiidae; Gastropoda)

Ecology and Evolution
Melampus bidentatus was recently divided into three genetically divergent cryptic species: Melampus bidentatus, Melampus jaumei, and Melampus gundlachi. We have assembled and annotated a mitochondrial genome for each of these species.

Black‐Tailed Godwits Eat Animal and Plant Material at a Key Non‐Breeding Site at the Overlap of Two Asian Flyways

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Food resources are essential for understanding habitat use, migration strategies, and population dynamics of migratory shorebirds, yet dietary information for Black‐tailed Godwits in Asian flyways remains poorly known. We provide the first assessment of their non‐breeding diet in the Ganges–Brahmaputra–Meghna delta, showing seasonal changes in prey ...

Climate‐driven resource availability drives medium‐ and broad‐scale temporal changes in owl–prey interactions over 24 years in a semi‐arid ecosystem

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Predator–prey interactions are vital to ecosystem functioning but may be disrupted by climate change. We investigated a food‐web network involving three owl species over 24 years in a semi‐arid ecosystem at Bosque Fray Jorge National Park, Chile.

The Size of Greater India: Estimates by Comparing the Apparent Polar Wander Paths of the Tethyan Himalaya and the Indian Craton

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The northern extent of Greater India is a critical, yet highly debated, parameter for reconstructing the India‐Asia collision. Previous paleomagnetic estimates, including the fill‐the‐gap and fixed great circle approaches, yield widely varying results, spanning from ∼200 to ∼3,000 km. These large discrepancies stem principally from two primary

Limited capacity for rapid acclimation to marine heatwaves in coastal invertebrates

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 10, Page 2088-2103, October 2026.
Across 10 coastal invertebrate species, we provide a rare multi‐species test of rapid acclimation to realistic marine heatwaves. Responses are consistently weak, revealing that short‐term plasticity cannot keep pace with warming and may lead to underestimated vulnerability in coastal ecosystems. Abstract Marine heatwaves are increasing in frequency and

Parasites of a keystone megaherbivore: insights into trematode life cycles and biological invasions in the Greater Kruger ecosystem

Parasitology
The common hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) is a keystone megaherbivore endemic to sub-Saharan Africa. Despite this ecological importance, the species is listed as Vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature due to habitat loss ...
