Historical shifts, geographic biases, and biological constraints shape mammal species discovery
Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.Taxonomic descriptions of mammals have become more robust from 1990 to 2025, with increased specimen sampling, broader comparisons, and more integrative methods. However, disparities remain: tropical and small‐bodied species are less comprehensively described, reflecting ongoing geographic and biological biases.

Shotgun Mitogenomics Provides a Reference Phylogenetic Framework and Timescale for Living Xenarthrans [PDF]
, 2015 Xenarthra (armadillos, sloths, and anteaters) constitutes one of the four major clades of placental mammals. Despite their phylogenetic distinctiveness in mammals, a reference phylogeny is still lacking for the 31 described species. Here we used Illumina

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.By identifying unique/enriched microbial species across taxa and diet types in 318 animal species with our SSD (specificity and specificity diversity) framework, we demonstrated that host phylogeny and diet are joint drivers of microbial specificity compositional heterogeneity, potentially linking the macroecological pattern of phylosymbiosis with the ...

Indigenous peoples and local community reports of climate change impacts on biodiversity
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Climate change impacts on biodiversity have been primarily studied through ecological research methods, largely ignoring other knowledge systems. Indigenous and local knowledge systems include rich observations of changes in biodiversity that can inform climate change adaptation planning and environmental stewardship.

Nyctereutes terblanchei: The raccoon dog that never was [PDF]
, 2012 Fossils of the raccoon dog (genus Nyctereutes) are particularly rare in the African PlioPleistocene record, whilst the sole living representative, Nyctereutes procyonoides, is found in eastern Asia and parts of Europe. In southern Africa, only one fossil

Underrepresentation of bats in Africa's protected areas
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Biodiversity is severely threatened globally, with habitat loss and other human pressures accelerating species extinctions. Protected areas (PAs) are a critical conservation tool; however, their effectiveness in safeguarding many taxa, such as bats, remains unclear.

Biased amino acid composition in warm-blooded animals [PDF]
, 2009 Among eubacteria and archeabacteria, amino acid composition is correlated with habitat temperatures. In particular, species living at high temperatures have proteins enriched in the amino acids E-R-K and depleted in D-N-Q-T-S-H-A. Here, we show that this
