How Energetic Demands and Habitat Utilisation Can Make or Break Giraffes
ABSTRACT Understanding how large herbivores balance energy intake and expenditure is critical for effective rangeland management and conservation. Giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis), as selective browsers, depend on high‐quality forage resources that vary seasonally, influencing their movement patterns, home range and habitat selection.

A fossil rostrum fragment of a large teleost fish from the Upper Cretaceous of Northern Italy reveals remarkable anatomical convergences with Cenozoic and Recent billfishes (marlins, swordfishes, and akin). The extinct group Plethodidae independently acquired a long snout, micro‐teeth, and oil‐gland sinuses well before the evolution of true billfishes.

This study conducts the first comprehensive morphological investigation of the mandibular symphysis in whales. Using gross anatomical observation and CT cross‐sectional data, we describe diverse joint morphologies across 74 extant and fossil cetacean taxa. Toothed whales exhibit unfused, partially fused, or fully fused symphyses.

Experimental warming alters free‐living nitrogen fixation in a humid tropical forest
Summary Microbial nitrogen (N) fixation accounts for c. 97% of natural N inputs to terrestrial ecosystems. These microbes can be free‐living in the soil and leaf litter (asymbiotic) or in symbiosis with plants. Warming is expected to increase N‐fixation rates because warmer temperatures favor the growth and activity of N‐fixing microbes.
