Microbial Contributions to Primate Reproduction

open access: yesEvolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Reproduction is a complex process, and microbes play a far greater role than previously imagined.

Estimating Sunda Clouded Leopard Lifespans From Minimum Residence Times via Long‐Term Photo‐Tracking

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
How long do Sunda clouded leopards live in the wild? Detectability challenges and transient behavior make this elusive species difficult to track. Based on compiled photographic records, we report the oldest known individual to date: a 6.51‐year‐old female and provide new insights into survival and demography of this threatened carnivore.

How Do Female Pest Tephritids Behave During Male Courtship?

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 3, Page 272-284, March 2026.
In this paper, the female role during male courtship was described for the first time in fruit flies. Our findings show that females imitate some male behaviors and suggest that certain behaviors are associated with male mating success. Indeed, the Mediterranean fruit fly displays fewer behavioral units (i.e., shorter courtship sequences) than ...
