Burrow Selection by Temminck's Ground Pangolins (Smutsia temminckii) in Northern Botswana
African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT In arid and semi‐arid environments, many species use underground burrows for thermoregulation, reproduction, and to reduce predation risk. In Botswana, Temminck's ground pangolins (Smutsia temminckii) shelter in burrows during the day, and burrow density is thought to be a key indicator of habitat suitability for these animals.

Journal of Morphology, Volume 286, Issue 8, August 2025.Caraguatypotherium munozi displays a distinctive morphofunctional configuration combining high wrist flexor leverage with reduced elbow mechanical advantage—traits consistent with wrist‐dominated scratch‐digging. Multivariate analyses place it outside the core morphospaces of extant locomotor groups.

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 7, July 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Islands are regarded as ideal ecosystems for exploring biodiversity patterns. However, numerous islands have also suffered large numbers of species extinctions due to human activities. The extent to which such species extinctions have influenced our ability to understand biodiversity patterns, particularly the factors regulating island ...
