Diet of bird‐like troodontid dinosaurs: synthesis of a contentious clade

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1760-1778, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Troodontidae is a clade of small‐to medium‐sized maniraptoran theropods that mainly lived in Laurasia (modern Asia, North America and Europe) during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods and are believed to have had a variety of diets. The uniqueness of troodontid teeth suggests that they diverged from the typical flesh‐based diet of non‐avian ...

The extension of the taxon cycle model to island plants: insights from the Canarian vascular flora

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 2053-2076, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Taxon cycle models describe eco‐evolutionary patterns of lineage colonization, diversification, and decline across archipelagos, inferring an important role for competition amongst ecologically similar taxa in driving concurrent niche changes.

Elephant Rewilding Indirectly Affects Rodent Site‐Use and Behavior by Moderating Coarse Woody Debris Density

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Megaherbivores such as African savannah elephants are ecosystem engineers that modify vegetation structure, yet the cascading effects of these changes on smaller fauna remain poorly understood. We examined how elephant rewilding affected coarse woody debris (CWD) density and the behavior of the Natal multimammate mouse in lowveld savannah, South Africa,

Population Density and Spatial–Temporal Niche Use of Ship Rats and Italian Wall Lizards on a Small Adriatic Island

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We quantified population density and spatial–temporal niche use of ship rats (Rattus rattus) and Italian wall lizards (Podarcis siculus) on a small uninhabited Adriatic islet using spatially explicit capture–recapture, distance sampling, and camera trapping.
