Body Mass Records of Zoo‐Managed Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum, Diceros bicornis, Rhinoceros unicornis) as Compared to Field Data of Free‐Ranging Specimens

open access: yesZoo Biology, EarlyView.
Female white rhinos in zoos systematically exceed the body mass range for free‐ranging specimens; this is not the case in black rhinos. ABSTRACT The body mass of zoo animals may differ from those in wild populations due to the different environmental and dietary conditions being offered under human‐managed care.

Leaf‐chewing but not sap‐feeding herbivores create soil legacies that shape plant resistance through trait‐mediated, guild‐specific effects in Baccharis salicifolia

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Herbivory can affect the soil microbiome, creating legacies that affect plant resistance, but how these effects vary by feeding guild and the plant traits involved remain underexplored. We tested how soil legacies created by a leaf‐chewing caterpillar (Spodoptera exigua)

Soil functions are amplified along increasing planting densities via nutrient trade‐off driven by rhizobacteria in drought‐prone environment

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract It is unclear how plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) affect soil multifunctionality (SMF) and production function (SPF) along planting densities. To address this issue, Bacillus licheniformis (PGPR) was inoculated in maize fields with five planting densities ...

Plant–plant nitrogen transfer is prevalent in a semi‐arid shrubland and affects the foliar N content of recipient plants

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In agroecosystems, it is well known that nitrogen (N) can be transferred below‐ground among plants, especially between legumes and forage crops. However, we still lack a deep mechanistic understanding of this ecological process and its implications in plant communities,

Biocultural synthesis of adolescence: a roadmap to advance the field Synthèse bioculturelle de l'adolescence : une feuille de route pour faire avancer la recherche

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Adolescence is an expansive, dynamic period within the life course, covering a broad age range (10‐24 years) and a cascade of biological and cultural changes. However, biocultural approaches to adolescence have been less well developed within existing research compared to child and adult counterparts.
