Orchid genome evolution and trait innovation

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Orchids became one of the world's most diverse plant groups through genome‐driven innovations, unique relationships with fungi and pollinators, and remarkable adaptability. This review explains the origins of orchids and the evolution of their distinctive life forms, flowers, and ecological strategies and highlights promising directions for future ...

Frequency of arboreality is correlated with longer hand skeletons in Gorilla: Analysis of a new skeletal sample of Bwindi mountain gorillas

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Variation in arboreality across gorilla populations is associated with systematic differences in manual digital lengths. Using a new dataset of linear metrics from the Bwindi mountain gorillas, we quantify metacarpal and phalangeal lengths in eastern and western gorilla populations across all five rays. Consistent with quantified behavioral differences,

A description of dental microanatomy and implantation geometry in Chamaeleonidae

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
A reassessment of the dental histology in adult chamaeleons reveals the presence of periodontal ligament. Alongside alveolar bone and cementum, these tissues together constitute a compacted and remodelled tripartite periodontium. Our findings include the novel observation of plicidentine‐like protuberances of dentine within underlying bone.

Posthumanism and Cybernetic Art: An Esthetic Exploration of Technology and Human Identity

open access: yesSociology Lens, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Posthumanism is a contemporary intellectual movement that redefines the relationship between humans, technology, biology, and culture. While questioning the traditional humanist perspective that places humans at the center of the universe, it also examines the transformative effects of technology on human identity.

Refining generic limits in Hyacinthinae (Asparagaceae, Scilloideae): Conflict and concordance between morphology and phylogenomics

open access: yesJournal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
Using Angiosperms353 and plastid genome skimming approaches, the generic limits of Hyacinthinae were explored using DNA sequences to better understand their evolution. Floral morphology, a traditional generic delimiter, conflicts with the molecular groupings in many cases, but bulb morphology and cytogenetics define similar groups to DNA.

Contrasting mechanisms driving the northward expansion of African raptors in Europe

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, EarlyView.
Recent climate warming and landscape changes are enabling African raptors to reach Europe through contrasting mechanisms. Using species distribution models, we show that the Atlas Long‐legged Buzzard expands northward following climatic suitability, whereas African vultures reach Europe despite low climatic favourability through socially mediated ...
