Relatedness, trait evolution, and climatic niche divergence in mammalian island endemics
Oikos, EarlyView.Island mammals have influenced ecological and evolutionary theory since Darwin, and many of them provide textbook examples of the dramatic morphological evolution that often occurs in island communities. However, patterns of evolution in the climatic niches of island mammals have yet to be fully explored.

Oikos, EarlyView.Predation is a major ecological force, but its effect on bees has rarely been studied. Here, we investigated whether the presence of the European bee‐eater Merops apiaster, a migratory bird species and major bee predator, decreases the abundance and body size of three common bumblebee species (Bombus lapidarius, B. terrestris and B.

A timid choice: risk‐taking behavior predicts individualized niche in a varying landscape of safety
Oikos, EarlyView.Individual niche specialization predicts a match between an individual's phenotype and environment. Yet, whether animals achieve this match through phenotypic change (niche conformance) or by selecting the environment (niche choice), remains unexplored.

A Lizard Swallowed by a Viper. [PDF]
Nature, 1889 As it appears from the “Notes” in the last number of NATURE that the swallowing of a lizard by a viper is not usual, I may mention an instance which came under my own observation. Many years since, I captured a viper on Cannock Chase, in Staffordshire. The animal was rather sluggish, so I got it into a box unhurt, and carried it home.

Antbears and underground melons: A highly specialized seed dispersal mutualism mediated by scent
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Seed dispersal is critical for the establishment and persistence of populations of most plant species. We investigated the seed dispersal biology of an African melon, Cucumis humifructus, which is closely related to cultivated cucumbers and watermelons but differs in that it buries its fruits deep underground.
