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 ...

Snail Inventories for Short‐Term Impacts: Methodological Differences and Their Underlying Causes
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.This study investigates the effects of including fresh empty shells in terrestrial gastropod community surveys and evaluates the resulting bias by combining field data, laboratory experiments and population modelling. We found that incorporating fresh empty shells can mask short‐term changes in community composition and introduce species‐specific ...

On the Significance of Neuronal Giantism in Gastropods
The Biological Bulletin, 1991 Neurons of the central ganglia of opisthobranch and pulmonate gastropods increase in size as the animals grow, some becoming veritable giants. The origins and functions of neuronal giantism are considered here from a comparative viewpoint. A review of the properties of identified neurons in a variety of opisthobranch and pulmonate species indicates ...

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.

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

Target Capture of Ancient Shell DNA Enables Phylogenetic Reconstruction of Deep‐Sea Molluscs
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 7, October 2026.ABSTRACT Target capture is widely used to enrich endogenous DNA from calcium phosphate skeletal material in vertebrates, but its performance on calcium carbonate hard parts widely produced by invertebrates remains poorly understood. Here, we compared DNA recovery from four fresh and 12 ancient (eight radiocarbon‐dated to 1671–1135 years old before ...

DeepZoo: A cost‐effective and modular sampler for ecological studies in the deep ocean
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 10, Page 2895-2908, October 2026.Abstract Understanding the structure and dynamics of deep‐ocean communities requires effective sampling of pelagic organisms in near‐bottom waters. These dispersive organisms contribute to biodiversity, connectivity and ecosystem recovery. Yet, current sampling methods remain constrained by size, cost, and depth, leaving key questions unanswered in ...

Marine rewilding principles as a guiding framework for large‐scale ecosystem restoration
Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.As marine ecosystems face accelerating degradation from human pressures, interest is growing in approaches that move beyond protection toward active recovery of ecological processes. This article introduces marine rewilding as a forward‐looking framework and synthesizes ecological and social science to develop eight transdisciplinary principles that ...
