Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.We used sedimentary ancient DNA shotgun metagenomics to reconstruct past bird communities in northern high‐latitude environments. By using long time series and data collected across a large environmental gradient, we contributed in a unique and explorative way to the understanding of palaeoecological dynamics between birds and their habitat on the ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.We document the extraordinary occurrence of a Dark‐sided Flycatcher (Muscicapa sibirica)—a migratory passerine from East Asia—in California, USA. We discuss the little‐known phenomenon of intercontinental vagrancy in migratory landbirds and examine this case study in detail, providing analysis of the age, molt status, subspecies, and likely origins of ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.This research provided evidence that division of labor indeed occurred when offspring were in need of parental care. Therefore, labor division may serve as the underlying mechanism for different parental care strategies and movement patterns among group members in the cooperatively breeding system of giant babaxes.

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 1235-1247, April 2026.Abstract Rapid, accurate assessment of arboreal vertebrates in tropical forests remains a bottleneck for large‐scale biodiversity monitoring, due to the challenges and effort associated with traditional survey methods. To bridge this gap, arboreal camera‐trapping is emerging as a promising way to observe otherwise elusive species, opening new avenues ...
