Ancient Plumage Colour Genetics Reveal Goose Domestication and Hybridization

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT In archaeological assemblages, differentiating the European domestic goose and its wild progenitor, the greylag goose (Anser anser), has been challenging due to their similar skeletal morphologies. A short region of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysed from ancient DNA (aDNA) has been shown to distinguish wild greylags from domestic geese, but ...

Does Platycnemia Develop in Squatting Populations as a Response to Torsional Rotation Across the Subadult Growth Plate?

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Platycnemia, a mediolateral flattening of the tibial shaft, has been argued to be an adult phenomenon caused by mechanical forces shaping bone. Here we investigate the possibility that this condition develops prior to growth plate closure, at a time when the epiphyseal cartilage is responsive to torsional loading.

Yulendji Bunwurrung Walagunh With Western Science: Ecological Insights, Emerging Research Questions and Future Directions From Bunurong Stories of Marine Mammals

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Indigenous Knowledge systems contain deep, place‐based ecological insights developed over generations but remain underrepresented in biodiversity assessments and conservation planning. This study explores yulendji Bunwurrung (Bunurong knowledge) through five Stories shared by a Bunurong Elder, using thematic analysis and comparison with contemporary ...

Long‐term changes in functional diversity and its implications for mammalian conservation and ecological restoration in a grassland ecosystem

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2379-2391, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Paleontological data provide information on natural environments prior to human influence, which are useful for tracking changes in ecosystem functioning through time. During the Late Pleistocene, about 10% of terrestrial mammalian species were extinct in South America.
