Ecophysiology of an Avian Invader: Body Condition and Metabolic Rate Adjustments to Ambient Temperature

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 3, Page 602-608, May 2026.
This study examines the ecophysiological responses of common waxbills to temperature variation in Portugal. We measured body condition and basal metabolic rate (BMR) during summer and winter across two regions in Portugal. Body condition was negatively correlated with temperature, while the relationship between BMR and temperature varied seasonally. In

Bat Tongues and Foraging: Linking Morphology to Hunting Strategies

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 3, Page 540-551, May 2026.
We linked the bat tongue's mediodorsal lobe (MDL), a muscular prominence, to foraging strategies. Aerial hawkers exhibit tall MDLs and prominent forward‐pointing papillae. The MDL may function as a barrier or filter, preventing unintentional ingestion of non‐food material, aiding in prey handling, and controlling food access during fast flight ...

Projected Risks to Biodiversity Conservation Along Brazil's Equatorial Margin Under Expanding Offshore Oil Development

open access: yesConservation Letters, Volume 19, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Brazil's Equatorial Margin is one of the least studied yet most ecologically significant regions of the Atlantic Ocean. Encompassing the Amazon coast, the region is entering a new phase of industrial expansion. In 2025, Brazil issued its first offshore oil exploration license in two decades, opening the door to large‐scale hydrocarbon ...

Urbanization Shapes Dietary Composition and Snout Morphology of Salamanders

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 10, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Urbanization rapidly alters landscapes, generating habitat mosaics characterized by increased impervious surface, reduced soil moisture and diminished vegetation cover. These recurring urban environmental features are expected to reduce community diversity, favouring urban‐tolerant species, thereby promoting urban biotic homogenization ...
