A Century of Learning: The Story of ESA's Education Committee, 1918–2025

The Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America, EarlyView.
Abstract The Education Committee and its precursors have been highly influential within the Ecological Society of America. Here we document the Education Committee's history, from its origins in reviewing curricular materials through major contributions to ecological literacy, teaching innovation, diversity initiatives, and professional development ...

Post-Mortem Effects as a Variation Factor in Lachesis muta Venom

Toxins
Snakebite incidents could occur even with deceased animals due to improper animal manipulation, since the venom may retain biochemical activity. However, it is unclear what alterations death may cause in snake venom, because even in well-preserved genera,

Developmental stage ordering yields greater cranial mineralization sequence resolution than embryo size or days since oviposition: A case study using the gekkotan Eublepharis macularius (Blyth, 1854)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We employ a set of leopard gecko embryos for which size, day of development, and developmental stage are known to assess which timetable accords with the greatest resolution of cranial mineralization events. Developmental staging yielded the best outcome. Abstract Mineralization sequences of cranial elements (often referred to as ossification sequences)

Long‐Term Population Declines of Habitat‐Shifting Species in the City: A Living Planet Index Approach for Berlin, Germany

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
We applied two global biodiversity indices at a city scale and revealed significant declines in odonate and amphibian populations in freshwater systems over several decades. Our study demonstrates the effectiveness of both indices as a baseline for fulfil urban‐related biodiversity framework targets if suitable biodiversity time series are available ...

Who Is Paying the Extinction Debt? Phylogenetic and Functional Structuring on Greek Islands Is Shaped by Sea‐Level Rise Since the Last Glacial Maximum

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Since the Last Glacial Maximum, sea‐level rise has isolated, fragmented, and shrunk islands, supersaturating squamate communities and triggering ongoing community relaxation. Integrating a paleo‐coastline model with community data from 163 islands, we show that phylogenetic overdispersion dominates insular squamate communities and increases with island

Many Stayers, Few Movers: Seasonal and Sex‐Based Movement Patterns in an Endangered Forest‐Dwelling Salamander

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
We investigated individual and population‐level spatial ecology in the forest specialist Salamandrina perspicillata, assessing spatial displacements, movement rates, home ranges and population density across sexes and seasons. Our results unravel a movement system characterised by many highly sedentary individuals and few relatively mobile ones (many ...
