Let's Talk About Bone Cylinders. Taphonomy of Carnivores and Humans

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACTBone cylinders are a distinctive structure predominantly produced by durophagous carnivoran species during the consumption of long bones, in which the diaphyseal canal remains intact while both epiphyses are removed or consumed. This study evaluates the significance of this morphology, traditionally attributed to extant and extinct hyena ...

A reconstructed Pangea would result in lower biodiversity

Oikos, EarlyView.
Driven by globalization and climatic change, rates of biological invasion are on the increase. Although these increasing rates are widely expected to lead to increased rates of extinction, it has been argued that these ‘newly arrived' species might increase biodiversity.

Prey detection by the predator remains constant across prey densities: evidence from a field experiment in the Arctic tundra

Oikos, EarlyView.
The functional response describes how predator acquisition rates change with prey availability and integrates behavioural processes that occur during predator–prey encounters. Among these processes, prey detection represents a critical yet often overlooked component that can directly influence population dynamics. Variation in detection probability has

Chemical diversity and phylogenetic insights into Hawaiian ʻākia (Wikstroemia) species used in traditional fishing practices

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Traditional fishing with plant‐based piscicides is a global practice in decline, facing increasing restrictions. We investigated the chemical diversity of endemic Wikstroemia species historically used to stun or poison fish in Hawaiʻi. Using 1‐H‐NMR, principal component analysis, targeted HPLC, and target‐capture sequencing, we characterized compounds ...

From settler gardens to digital naturalists: human aesthetic preferences and land use changes facilitate the biogeographical expansion of a wild plant–virus interaction

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic facilitation of wild plants based on aesthetic preferences for particular traits can change the biogeography and ecology of natural communities. We use a mixed‐methods socioecological approach to characterize the ways in which humans interact with a common, widely distributed plant and a generalist viral symbiont that induces an ...
