Does a lack of juveniles indicate a threat? Understanding body size distributions in a group of long‐lived vertebrates

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 10, Page 1962-1982, October 2025.
We used a large dataset to examine turtle size distributions and found that for most species in most areas, distributions are typically skewed towards large adults, with few juveniles present. Therefore, a lack of juveniles does not inherently indicate a declining population, and researchers should be cautious not to over‐interpret adult‐dominated ...

The Impact of Whole‐Animal Fluid Preservation on the Observed Gut Microbiome of Vertebrates: Implications for the Use of Museum Specimens in Microbiome Research

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 7, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The vertebrate gut houses diverse microbial communities that provide insights into their host's ecological and evolutionary histories. Nevertheless, microbiome research has not been distributed equally across host taxonomy, geography and timescales. The millions of fluid‐preserved specimens stored in natural history museums worldwide represent

Male-male competition and female choice are differentially affected by male call acoustics in the serrate-legged small treefrog, Kurixalus odontotarsus [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
Background The evolution of exaggerated vocal signals in anuran species is an important topic. Males and females have both evolved the ability to discriminate communication sounds.

Soil Allies: Exploring the Combined Potential of Folsomia candida and Trichoderma spp. Against Fusarium oxysporum

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2025.
This study highlights the synergistic potential of the springtail Folsomia candida and Trichoderma spp. in suppressing Fusarium oxysporum, a key pathogen affecting cape gooseberry. By reducing Fusarium populations and enhancing soil health, this approach offers a promising eco‐friendly strategy for managing plant diseases in agriculture.
