Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2214-2239, October 2026.ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2026.ABSTRACT The management of large periapical lesions is challenging, as lesion size alone does not predict treatment outcome or mandate surgery. This case series presents three large periapical lesions with 4‐ to 12‐year follow‐up, illustrating different therapeutic pathways.

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.Despite the growing number of studies on trophic networks in recent decades, there are still important gaps in our understanding of how these networks are structured across broad environmental gradients. These gaps are even greater in some groups of terrestrial vertebrates, such as snakes, requiring a cohesive synthesis of their broader trophic ...

Anaerobic gut fungal communities in marsupial hosts
mBioThe anaerobic gut fungi (AGF) inhabit the alimentary tracts of herbivores. In contrast to placental mammals, information regarding the identity, diversity, and community structure of AGF in marsupials is extremely sparse.

Buildings as accidental habitat: Where animals nest, sleep and forage
People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 10, Page 3531-3551, October 2026.Abstract Animals have long inhabited human buildings alongside us, but our understanding comes from isolated studies, such as reports of a possum in the roof or a bat in our walls. What we lack is the building's perspective: which building features actually serve as habitat and for whom?

Substrate‐Dependent Variation in Environmental DNA Persistence and Degradation From a Small Mammal
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 7, October 2026.ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) analyses have been applied to terrestrial environments for over a decade, yet knowledge of the dynamics of eDNA deposition, movement and degradation remains limited. To address this, we conducted a controlled experiment over 1 year to assess the persistence of eDNA from an arboreal mammal across four substrates (water,

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 10, October 2026.ABSTRACT In many regions there are disputes about future land use that make knowledge of spatial variation in conservation value an important input to negotiation. Current approaches to measuring spatial conservation values for the purposes of recognition and protection remain largely trapped in colonising cartographic methodologies that marginalise ...
