Community‐ and species‐level responses of reptiles to an avian ecosystem engineer
Reptiles in southern Africa's Kalahari desert occur at higher abundances and greater species richness under trees with sociable weaver colonies, than those without. This finding substantially expands our knowledge of how commonly reptile communities might respond to ecosystem engineers.

GPS‐tracked yellow‐legged gulls from urban (Porto) and natural (Berlenga) colonies showed contrasting foraging strategies. Urban gulls remained near cities and followed human routines, while natural gulls foraged farther and used marine habitats. Abstract Urbanisation has led to increased populations of opportunistic species like gulls, driven by the ...

Hedgehog Pillows and Squirrel Plates: Priming Semantic Structure in Children's Comprehension
Abstract We report three expression–picture‐matching experiments targeting preschoolers’ semantic processing. We assessed whether 3‐ and 4‐year‐olds’ interpretations of ambiguous novel noun–noun combinations (e.g., hedgehog pillow) were affected by immediate language experience and what role lexical items played in this process.

Abstract Introduction Juvenile coral reef fish face an initial predation‐induced mortality bottleneck with mortality exceeding 60% within 48 hours of settlement. This intense predation, exacerbated by anthropogenic stressors, limits recruitment and contributes to global declines of reef fish populations. Post‐Larval Capture, Culture, and Release (PCCR),

Aging and the Division of Labor of Theory of Mind Skills in Metaphor Comprehension
Abstract While some aspects of pragmatic competence are known to decline with age, for metaphor skills the evidence is inconclusive, possibly due to heterogeneity in the assessment tools. Furthermore, the previous literature on age‐related changes in pragmatic skills has rarely considered the role of Theory of Mind (ToM), which is described as one of ...
