Body Size Regulates Niche Overlap Asymmetry in the Subtropical Andes Rain Shadow: Isotopic Paleoecology of Oligocene South American Ungulates

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study provides the first isotopic analysis of Oligocene mammals from Quebrada Fiera, Mendoza, Argentina, filling a major gap in South American paleontology. It reveals a latitudinal gradient in aridity due to the Andean rain shadow and highlights the role of (semi)permanent water bodies in sustaining diverse herbivore communities. Additionally, it

Cenozoic Tectonics Ignite Mitochondrial Codon Innovations Propelling Canid Body Size Evolution and Transcontinental Radiations

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We decode mitochondrial genomes across all extant canids, revealing lineage‐specific codon optimization driven by altitude, predation, and body size. A tripartite framework integrates geological events, metabolic constraints, and adaptive radiation to explain carnivore evolution.

High‐throughput information extraction of printed specimen labels from large‐scale digitization of entomological collections using a semi‐automated pipeline

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Natural history museums curate billions of insect specimens, representing an unparalleled record of biodiversity. Although large‐scale digitization has expanded access to specimen images, extracting label metadata remains a major bottleneck, typically requiring time‐intensive manual transcription.

What Do Lithics Tell Us About Cultural Evolution? Insights From the Central African Record

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While Western historical narratives often incorporate a biased vision of human evolution—driven by a progressive view tied to a progressively evolving state of culture—this paper proposes combining archaeological lithic data with epistemological reflections to critique the modern regime of historicity, where progress is assumed as rational ...
