Most mammals do not wander: few species escape continental endemism
Terrestrial mammals are found nearly everywhere on Earth. Yet, most taxa are endemic to a single continent; geological, evolutionary, ecological, or physiological filters constrain geographic distributions. Here, we synthesize data on geography, taxonomy, lineage age, dispersal, body size, and diet for > 4000 terrestrial mammals prior to detectable ...

The impact of gigafire on vegetation structure, terrestrial vertebrate abundance and diel activity
Fire regimes are shifting around the world due to climate and land‐use change, resulting in an increased frequency of large and severe wildfires. However, the impact of extreme wildfire events on animal species remains poorly understood. Particularly lacking is an understanding of how fire affects animal behaviour.

ABSTRACT The vertebrate gut houses diverse microbial communities that provide insights into their host's ecological and evolutionary histories. Nevertheless, microbiome research has not been distributed equally across host taxonomy, geography and timescales. The millions of fluid‐preserved specimens stored in natural history museums worldwide represent
