Phylogenomics of African Melastomateae (Melastomataceae): Revisiting generic relationships, placement of three enigmatic taxa and description of two new genera

TAXON, EarlyView.
Abstract Evolutionary relationships within the Melastomateae, a diverse tribe within the Melastomataceae, are not yet completely resolved, and some putatively paleoendemic taxa that might alter relationships are still unsampled. This study employs a phylogenomic approach, utilizing target capture data, to revisit generic relationships and shed light on

Elementary Students' Metacognitive Knowledge of Epistemic Criteria

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Scientific modeling is a core practice of scientific inquiry. Students' engagement in modeling can be enhanced by attending to epistemic criteria, which in science are standards used to evaluate the validity and accuracy of scientific models. While prior research has focused on students' development and use of epistemic criteria in scientific ...

Urbanisation increases cloudiness over Greater Kuala Lumpur during southwest and northeast monsoons

Weather, EarlyView.
Urban areas consistently experience more cloudy days than rural areas. For instance, at 1500 local time (LT) during the southwest monsoon (dry season, June–July–August) peak cloudiness is 1.22 times higher, and during the northeast monsoon (wet season, December–January–February) it is 1.24 times higher. Cloud cover peaks between 1400 LT and 1600 LT and

Modelling the surprising recolonisation of an understudied aquatic mammal in a highly urbanised area: fortune favoured the smooth‐coated otter in Singapore

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Ever‐growing human activities present an active and continuing threat to many species throughout the world. Nevertheless, concerted conservation efforts in some regions have balanced these threats and allowed endangered species to recolonise former parts of their original ranges and reverse their decline.

Resource‐driven changes in wild boar movement and their consequences for the spread of African Swine Fever in the Russian Far East

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Knowledge of animal movement patterns is invaluable to understanding the spread of diseases among wildlife populations. One example is the recent African swine fever (ASF) outbreak among wild boar Sus scrofa populations across East Asia, where there is a lack of information on movements of this species.

Who's the boss? Understanding the spatial relationship between snow leopard and Eurasian lynx in southern Mongolia

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Interspecific competition, a fundamental ecological process characterized by negative interactions between species, plays a vital role in shaping ecological communities. Despite the co‐occurrence of the snow leopard Panthera uncia and the Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx across vast landscapes in Asia, their interactions remain poorly understood. In this study,

Recent enrichment of megafauna in the north of Eurasia supports the concept of Pleistocene rewilding

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
‘Pleistocene rewilding' refers to the concept of restoring ecosystems to their state during the Pleistocene epoch, by (re‐)introducing species or their close relatives that were present during that time, in an effort to revive ecological processes that existed before human‐driven extinctions.
