Studying collective animal behaviour with drones and computer vision

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 2229-2259, October 2025.
Abstract Drones are increasingly popular for collecting behaviour data of group‐living animals, offering inexpensive and minimally disruptive observation methods. Imagery collected by drones can be rapidly analysed using computer vision techniques to extract information, including behaviour classification, habitat analysis and identification of ...

The sentinel approach to quantify ecosystem function intensities

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 2305-2317, October 2025.
Abstract Biodiversity, through species interactions, underpins numerous ecosystem functions that can lead to ecosystem services and disservices. Quantifying these functions is crucial for evaluating the effectiveness of conservation and management strategies, as well as the impacts of land use change.

A Systematic Review of 65 Years of Research on Nothofagus: An Iconic Southern Hemisphere Genus

Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Nothofagus is a genus of 37 species of tree distributed across the Southern Hemisphere and has long been considered a taxon of fundamental importance for understanding the evolution and ecology of the forest ecosystems of the Southern Hemisphere. Using quantitative text analysis, we evaluated 65 years of research on this iconic genus.

The pace and shape of ant ageing

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 2071-2083, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Ants have been proposed as good models to study ageing and the effects of extrinsic mortality because of their long lifespans and plasticity of ageing within species. We discuss how age‐dependent extrinsic mortality might influence queen lifespan, and how the effect of age‐independent extrinsic mortality needs further study, accounting for ...

Scope of Message Planning: Evidence From Production of Sentences With Heavy Sentence‐Final NPs

Cognitive Science, Volume 49, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Speaking begins with the generation of a preverbal message. While a common assumption is that the scope of message‐level planning (i.e., the size of message‐level increments) can be more extensive than the scope of sentence‐level planning, it is unclear how much information is typically encoded at the message level in advance of sentence‐level

A robust multigenerational laboratory rearing methodology for Diplolepis mayri and Diplolepis rosae on wild roses (Rosa spp.)

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 10, Page 1091-1096, October 2025.
We report a method for rearing Diplolepis mayri (Schlechtendal) and D. rosae (Linnaeus) under controlled conditions using Rosa rubiginosa (L.) and R. canina L. wild rose shrubs. Plants were kept at a temperature of 22–23°C, 60%–70% humidity, with L14:D10 (2023) and L16:D8 (2024) photoperiod cycles. A second D.

Biotic Assembly of the Species of Triatomini (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae) in the Mexican and South American Transition Zones

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim To infer the biogeographic history of the Triatomini by evaluating how their species became part of the biogeographic transition zones of the New World. This group of blood‐feeding insects includes key vectors of Chagas disease. Understanding their dispersal and diversification over geological time may help elucidate the temporal dynamics ...

A big phylogenomic tree with bigger taxonomic implications for the world's biggest rove beetles (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Staphylinini, Platydracus‐group)

Systematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 1041-1066, October 2025.
The first phylogenomic study of the Platydracus group of rove beetle genera is provided. It targets 1229 loci and 138 taxa with a post‐analysis assessment of morphological characters. This group of 400+ described species is found monophyletic and reclassified into 12 monophyletic genera to give a frame for the badly needed species‐level taxonomy.
