Complex Kinematics of Upper‐Plate Faulting Along the Central Cascadia Forearc Inferred From the Lateral Displacement of Marine Terraces

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Recent earthquakes along the shallow portion of the Hikurangi subduction zone (the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake sequence, New Zealand) indicate that faults within the overriding plate of subduction zones may exhibit uncharacteristically large surface displacements relative to their fault length. Whether this style of upper‐plate faulting is common

Inferring bird migration from bone isotopes and histology: A fossil‐friendly methodological framework

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 531-553, February 2026.
Abstract Bird seasonal migration is a remarkable biogeographic phenomenon, yet its deep‐time origin(s) and evolutionary history remain poorly understood, with the bird fossil record largely overlooked. This study explores the predictability of bird migratory behaviour from the oxygen isotope composition of their bone apatite phosphate (δ18Op), a ...

Global diversification of coastal Cafius rove beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) driven by ocean currents since the early Miocene

open access: yesCladistics, Volume 42, Issue 1, Page 79-94, February 2026.
Abstract As our understanding of abiotic factors continues to grow, along with insights into the biological traits of organisms, so too does the sophistication of studies exploring global diversification and spatio‐temporal distribution patterns. The global distribution of coastal Cafius rove beetles, combined with the endemic distribution patterns ...

Birds That Don't Exist: Niche Pre‐Emption as a Constraint on Morphological Evolution in the Passeroidea

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 2, February 2026.
We use topological data analysis to reveal a persistent morphological gap in a major group of songbirds (superfamily Passeroidea). The gap remained unoccupied for millions of years, even though nearby morphologies are common and the same body form exists in other groups of birds.

Biogeographic Regions Within Indomalaya: An Integrated Approach Using Bird Distributions

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Biogeographic regions define areas of shared species distributions and provide a framework for testing evolutionary hypotheses. Recent quantitative methods have improved the delineation of these regions, but each relies on assumptions about how species distributions are summarised and varies in sensitivity to spatial scale.
