Reading hominin life history in fossil bones and teeth: methods to test hypotheses regarding its evolution

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1463-1478, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Human life history is derived compared to that of our closest living relatives, the great apes. It has been suggested that these derived traits are causally related to aspects of our ecology, social behaviour and cognitive abilities. However, resolving this requires that we know the evolutionary trajectory of our distinctive pattern of growth,

Frugivore Declines Across Taxa Affect Forest Biomass

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
We examined how frugivore declines affect aboveground biomass in 260 1‐ha forest plots across Gabon using imputed frugivory networks between 122 frugivores and 99,349 trees. Simulated frugivore declines across Gabon tended to reduce aboveground biomass, with effects varying by taxon and geography.

Phylogenomics and systematics of African Sesuvium (Aizoaceae)

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 75, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Sesuvium (Sesuvioideae‐Aizoaceae) comprises leaf succulent annual and perennial herbs distributed in coastal or saline sites of subtropical and tropical regions. Some species of the genus tolerate highly salinized or polluted soils and show soil‐improving properties.

Homo luzonensis and the role of homoplasy in the morphology of hominin insular species

open access: yesCladistics, Volume 42, Issue 3, Page 286-316, June 2026.
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.

Social Drivers of Vocal Flexibility in Female Baboons

open access: yesEthology, Volume 132, Issue 6, Page 390-398, June 2026.
Female olive baboons selectively grunt when encountering females with dependent offspring. Grunting likelihood depends on rank differences and the strength of their social bond. This study adds to the evidence that nonhuman primates have evolved to use structurally‐inflexible vocalisations in population and context‐flexible ways.

Validation of Immunoassays for Total Thyroxine and Free Thyroxine and Age and Sex‐Related Variation in Thyroid Hormone Serum Concentrations in Orangutans (Pongo sp.)

open access: yesJournal of Medical Primatology, Volume 55, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Thyroid disease is reported in orangutans, but to properly diagnose and manage these disorders, reference intervals for circulating thyroid hormones are needed. Methods Commercial immunoassay kits for total thyroxine (TT4) and free thyroxine (FT4) were validated for use in orangutans (Pongo spp.).
