Ethology, EarlyView.Black‐capped chickadees' chick‐a‐dee calls and fee‐bee songs are individually distinct. We used an operant conditioning Go/No‐go paradigm to train chickadees to discriminate among four individuals' chick‐a‐dee calls or fee‐bee songs. Chickadees successfully learned this discrimination rule.

What Are the Phylogenetic Limits to Pollinator Diversity?
Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Although huge progress has been made over the past 200 years in identifying the diversity of pollinators of angiosperms and other plants, new discoveries continue to be made each year, especially in tropical areas and in the fossil record. In this perspective article I address the following questions: Just how diverse are the pollinators and ...

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The deep‐sea demersal fish fauna is characterized by a prevalence of elongated‐body forms with long tapering tails. Using baited camera landers at depths of 4500–6300 m in the Pacific Ocean, we observed multiple instances of backward swimming using reverse undulation of the slender body in four species: the cutthroat eel Ilyophis robinsae ...

A Latitudinal Gradient of Reference Genomes
Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Global inequality rooted in legacies of colonialism and uneven development can lead to systematic biases in scientific knowledge. In ecology and evolutionary biology, findings, funding and research effort are disproportionately concentrated at high latitudes, while biological diversity is concentrated at low latitudes.

Carnivore community reassembly provides a test of Eltonian niche conservatism
Oikos, EarlyView.The repatriation of species is common, especially in conservation efforts aimed at restoring trophic interactions. Whether the Eltonian niches of restored species are conserved in reassembled ecological communities is largely unknown. Within mammalian carnivores, we hypothesized that the Eltonian niches of sympatric competitors would be structured by ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.Summary CRISPR‐Cas‐based cytosine base editors (CBEs) are prominent tools that perform site‐specific and precise C‐to‐T conversions catalysed by cytidine deaminases. However, their use is often constrained by stringent editing preferences for genomic contexts, off‐target effects and restricted editing windows.

The evolution of muscle spindles
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Muscle spindles are stretch‐sensitive mechanoreceptors found in the skeletal muscles of most four‐limbed vertebrates. They are unique amongst sensory receptors in the ability to regulate their sensitivity by contraction of the intrafusal muscle fibres on which the sensory endings lie.

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 246, Issue 5, Page 685-695, May 2025.Bats are unique among mammals for evolving powered flight. However, very little data are available on the muscle properties and architecture of bat flight muscles. Using diceCT and gross dissection, we show that the Egyptian fruit bat pectoralis is optimised for power, and the elbow flexion/extension group is optimised for high forces with large PCSA ...
