Leadership Under Risk: Male Vervet Monkeys' (Chlorocebus pygerythrus) Roles in Group Progression Across Potentially High‐Risk Terrain

open access: yesEthology, Volume 132, Issue 8, Page 544-556, August 2026.
Male vervet monkeys were more likely to lead group progressions than females or juveniles, especially during potentially riskier crossing situations, i.e., rivers. Dominant males who had not yet sired offspring were the most likely to lead progressions.

Redoing Family After Estrangement

open access: yesJournal of Marriage and Family, Volume 88, Issue 4, Page 932-945, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective This study theorizes estrangement as a catalyst for redoing family through a dynamic process of rebuilding kinship's meaning, structure, and content. Background Research on family estrangement has overwhelmingly focused on its emotional, social, and financial consequences, overlooking how estrangement holistically reshapes the ...

Environmental and Genetic Determinants of Early‐Life Telomere Length in Tree Swallows

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 15, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Early‐life environmental and genetic factors play key roles in shaping the fitness of individuals by influencing life‐history traits. The impact of early life conditions is hypothesized to be reflected at the cellular level on telomere length. In many animal species, telomeres shorten with age and their length early in life is often related to

Genes Related to Sperm Motility Are Under Recent Ongoing Selection in Two Shorebird Species With a Polygynous Mating System and Frequent Multiple Paternity

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 15, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The analysis of the genomic architecture of selection can be insightful for the understanding of sexual conflict and sexual selection acting in wild populations. In general, there will be a wide range of possible targets of selection in the reproductive system of sexually promiscuous species.
