Carryover Effects on Reproduction Can Buffer Against Mortality‐Driven Population Declines at Elevated Developmental Temperatures

Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 11, November 2025.
We show that hotter juvenile temperatures can increase adult fertility in an emerging model insect system. These reproductive benefits may be crucial for insect populations to avoid extinction during global warming, which often reduces survival rates. Population dynamics estimated from lethal stress alone, or without considering carryover effects from ...

Why Conservation of Australian Native Temperate Grasslands Needs to Occur at Different Scales—From Landscapes to Patches, and From Governments to Individuals

Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Native temperate grasslands are among the most widespread biomes in Australia, and they have been extensively modified, primarily for livestock grazing and cropping on the fertile soils ideal for agriculture. In the 1980s and 1990s, foundational work by Jamie Kirkpatrick and others brought attention to the widespread loss of these ecosystems ...

Direct comparison of herpetofaunal camera, pitfall, and funnel trapping in the upland habitats of Florida, USA

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue 3, September 2025.
Herpetofaunal camera arrays versus pitfall and funnel trap arrays were tested in upland habitats of Florida, USA, and found that the methods are complementary in recording species richness and abundance; they were also similar in costs of use. Future herpetofaunal field studies should employ both cameras and live traps to best estimate populations and ...

Integrative Taxonomy of Costa Rican Tetrigidae (Orthoptera) Reveals Eight New Species

Diversity
Tetrigidae is one of the largest orthopteran families, but very few studies so far have integrated molecular and morphological data. Unsurprisingly, few species have been DNA barcoded, and the unresolved taxonomy makes Tetrigidae a difficult group to ...

Advancing transdisciplinary research on Madagascar's grassy biomes to support resilience in ecosystems and livelihoods

Ecological Monographs, Volume 95, Issue 2, May 2025.
Abstract Grassy biomes (savanna and grasslands) are globally extensive and host a unique biodiversity that is of central importance to human livelihoods. We focus here on the island of Madagascar—a microcosm of the global tropics, covered in 80% grassy biomes—to illustrate how transdisciplinary approaches to research can clarify ecosystem dynamics ...

What's on the menu? Examining native apex‐ and invasive meso‐predator diets to understand impacts on ecosystems

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 2, April–June 2025.
When comparing the diets of native and invasive predator species in semi‐arid Australia, we found that native apex dingoes primarily consume large kangaroos, wallabies and emus, whereas invasive cats and foxes consume smaller prey groups, including 8–9 times the volume of threatened and vulnerable native mammals.

Do polyandrous pygmy grasshopper females obtain fitness benefits for their offspring? [PDF]

Behavioral Ecology, 2008
Explanations for polyandry in insects invoke material and genetic benefits that enhance female fitness via the production of more viable or more variable offspring.

Jaw‐Muscle Structure and Function in Primates: Insights Into Muscle Performance and Feeding‐System Behaviors

Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 34, Issue 1, March 2025.
ABSTRACT The jaw‐adductor muscles drive the movements and forces associated with primate feeding behaviors such as biting and chewing as well as social signaling behaviors such as wide‐mouth canine display. The past several decades have seen a rise in research aimed at the anatomy and physiology of primate chewing muscles to better understand the ...

Avian influenza annual report 2023

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract All European Union (EU) Member States (MSs), along with Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and the United Kingdom (Northern Ireland), conduct surveillance for avian influenza (AI) in poultry and wild birds. EFSA, upon mandate of the European Commission, compiles and analyses this data in an annual report.
