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

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
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 ...

The As and Bs of titi monkey linguistics: why emotional communication is not the enemy

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The alarm call sequences of titi monkeys (genera Plecturocebus, Callicebus and Cheracebus) have sparked important debates over whether they exhibit parallels with human language. Some researchers consider these sequences to involve both semantics and syntax, while others argue that the sequences convey semantic information without syntax.

The myth of the metabolic baseline: sleep–wake cycles undermine a foundational assumption in organismal biology

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Basal and standard metabolic rate (BMR and SMR) are cornerstones of physiological ecology and are assumed to be relatively fixed intrinsic properties of organisms that represent the minimum energy required to sustain life. However, this assumption is conceptually flawed. Many core maintenance processes underlying SMR are temporally partitioned

Early evolutionary history of the seed

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

Conceptualizing Circular Ecosystems: An Analysis of 45 Definitions

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The circular ecosystem concept is gaining prominence among academics and practitioners. However, critics claim the concept is used and understood differently by different actors. While conceptual plurality offers possibilities for broad interpretations and engagement, it can undermine the relevance of the concept as an analytical lens due to ...
