How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Fossil Uromys (Rodentia: Murinae) from central Queensland, with a description of a new Middle Pleistocene species. In Papers in Honour of Ken Aplin, ed. Julien Louys, Sue O’Connor, and Kristofer M. Helgen

Records of the Australian Museum, 2020
The first fossil species of Uromys (Giant Naked-tailed Rats) is described, as well as the southern-most records of the genus based on palaeontological data. Uromys aplini sp. nov. lived during the Middle Pleistocene in the area around Mount Etna, eastern

Developing a macroecology for human‐altered ecosystems

Ecography, EarlyView.
Although anthropogenically‐induced ecological disruptions are fundamentally important in defining ecosystem properties, they are largely overlooked by macroecological theory. Anthropogenic disruptions and their effects are generally not comparable to one another, nor to disturbances that are part of natural disturbance regimes.

Tracing the origins and evolution of nymphalid butterflies (Lepidoptera) in the Atlantic Forest

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding the relative roles of diversification and dispersal is key to explaining large‐scale biogeographical patterns. Although both processes are known to shape biodiversity, their relative contributions remain understudied for many organisms. Here, we examine how these processes have jointly contributed to the exceptional diversity and endemism

Macroecological relationships of ant diversity with increasing aridity in Australian tropical savannas: contrasting responses of epigaeic and hypogaeic assemblages

Ecography, EarlyView.
Studies using climatic gradients play a key role in our understanding of the importance of rainfall and temperature as factors regulating species diversity and distribution, and thus of likely responses to climate change. However, such studies currently consider above‐ground species only, ignoring the diverse hypogaeic (subterranean) invertebrate fauna.

State‐Level Politics in Forest Governance: The Role of the Narrative‐Policy Nexus in the Brazilian Amazon

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Deforestation and its social impacts are an enduring challenge in agrarian frontiers, especially in the tropics. Fueled by global demand for commodities, this process is mediated by ideas, concepts, meanings, and policies that uphold socioenvironmental degradation. A key and understudied—arena in which this mediation occurs is the sub‐national

Spatial Variations in Methane Content and Their Main Controlling Factors of the Deep‐Buried Coalbed in the Nalinhe–Hengshan Area, Ordos Basin

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Ash yield is the primary geological factor controlling the spatial variations in the total gas content of the deep‐buried coalbed methane in the Nalinhe‐Hengshan area, Ordos Basin. However, porosity dominates the differential enrichment of the free gas content of the deep‐buried coalbed methane in the Nalinhe‐Hengshan area, Ordos Basin.

Biodiversity as a Dominant Force in Shaping Ethnic Music Styles 生物多样性:塑造民族音乐风格的主导力量

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.
Our findings show that plant, bird, and mammal diversity considerably shape musical features such as vocal range and ornamental sounds, more so than geography or lifestyle. Our study provides the first empirical evidence linking biodiversity to ethnic music styles. Protecting biodiversity, the musical and cultural will be protected.

Beyond Tradition: An Integrated Toxicological, Ecological, and Public Health Perspective on Aristolochic Acids

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aristolochia species have long been used in traditional medicine for their presumed anti‐inflammatory, analgesic and antimicrobial properties. However, extensive toxicological and epidemiological evidence now demonstrates that these plants contain aristolochic acids (AAs) I and II, highly potent nephrotoxic, genotoxic, and carcinogenic ...
