Toward accurate species‐level metabarcoding of arthropod communities from the tropical forest canopy
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Metabarcoding of arthropod communities can be used for assessing species diversity in tropical forests but the methodology requires validation for accurate and repeatable species occurrences in complex mixtures.

Supernumerary teeth observed in a live True’s beaked whale in the Bay of Biscay [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Mesoplodont beaked whales are one of the most enigmatic mammalian genera. We document a pod of four beaked whales in the Bay of Biscay breaching and tail slapping alongside a large passenger ferry.

Convergent evolution in toothed whale cochleae
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019 Background Odontocetes (toothed whales) are the most species-rich marine mammal lineage. The catalyst for their evolutionary success is echolocation - a form of biological sonar that uses high-frequency sound, produced in the forehead and ultimately ...

Historical changes in the phenology of British Odonata are related to climate [PDF]
, 2007 Responses of biota to climate change take a number of forms including distributional shifts, behavioural changes and life history changes. This study examined an extensive set of biological records to investigate changes in the timing of life history ...

Genetic and life-history traits associated with the distribution of prophages in bacteria
The ISME Journal, 2016 Nearly half of the sequenced bacteria are lysogens and many of their prophages encode adaptive traits. Yet, the variables driving prophage distribution remain undetermined.
