Homo luzonensis and the role of homoplasy in the morphology of hominin insular species
Cladistics, EarlyView.Abstract Homo luzonensis lived during the upper Pleistocene in the northern Philippines, east of the Wallace line. The few specimens attributed to this species show a mosaic of plesiomorphies for the genus Homo and apomorphies found in upper Pleistocene Homo species.

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Illegal wildlife trade (IWT) is one of the largest global illegal activities, and it negatively affects biodiversity and sustainable development worldwide. DNA barcoding coupled with high‐throughput sequencing (i.e., metabarcoding) is useful in identifying taxa affected by IWT and has been used routinely for decades.

Protein tandem repeats that produce frameshifts can generate new structural states and functions
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.We explored an alternative protein structure landscape by analyzing amino acid sequences from frameshifted tandem repeats—regions prone to frameshifts. These frameshifts, especially in short repeats, lead to more drastic changes than in non‐repetitive regions, often altering structure, function, localization, and potentially contributing to disease ...

Bee community and trait‐based responses to fire in a Mediterranean landscape
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Fire drives a short‐term increase in bee abundance and diversity, despite its strong negative impact on floral resources. Acting as an environmental filter, fire shapes bee communities as increased post‐fire fine‐scale heterogeneity favors bees with specific functional traits such as ground‐nesting and generalist species.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Orchards supported the highest wild bee diversity and functional diversity, highlighting their role in maintaining bee communities in Mediterranean agroecosystems. Landscape heterogeneity positively influenced functional evenness and dispersion of wild bee communities, underscoring the importance of diverse landscapes for bee conservation. The presence

Soil sand content is a driving force in structuring bee communities
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.We conducted a carefully designed observational study across three soil sand content categories using Dalea purpurea that attracts a wide range of bee species and grows in different soil types. Soil sand content, not floral resource availability, affected patterns of bee distribution, and contrary to expectations, sandier sites did not host the highest

FORMATION OF A PRIMARY DENTITION IN INFANT CHIMPANZEES (PAN TROGLODYTES)
Ветеринарная патология, 2019 IThe collection of allometric data, in particular, the study of the timing of the development of the dental system in chimpanzees, gives an idea of the rate and nature of the growth of wild animals and is of great importance for understanding postnatal ...

The raphe nuclear organization and serotonergic system in the bat (Artibeus planirostris)
Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Schematic representation of the methodological workflow used to characterize the serotonergic (5‐HT) system in the bat Artibeus planirostris. Serotonin (5‐HT) immunohistochemistry was performed on brainstem sections to identify and map the distribution of serotonergic neurons within the raphe nuclei.
