New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 1153-1175, December 2025.ABSTRACT International research on disturbed landscapes has shown that active erosion of soil‐free bare ground can maintain distinctive local geological features and biodiversity by preventing incursion of a robust vegetation cover. In this study, we have tested this approach by removing exotic vegetation and associated proto‐soil that had encroached ...

Improving Phylogenetic Signals of Mitochondrial Genes Using a New Method of Codon Degeneration
Life, 2020 Recovering deep phylogeny is challenging with animal mitochondrial genes because of their rapid evolution. Codon degeneration decreases the phylogenetic noise and bias by aiming to achieve two objectives: (1) alleviate the bias associated with nucleotide

Spatial Insurance of Distinct Ecological Functions
Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 11, November 2025.We present a new trait‐based framework to quantify spatial functional insurance of distinct ecological functions amongst ecological communities. We identify communities that disproportionately insure (functional sources) or depend on (functional sinks) neighbour communities.

Reduced Adult Neurogenesis in Humans Results From a Tradeoff Rather Than Direct Negative Selection
BioEssays, Volume 47, Issue 9, September 2025.Embryonic radial glia (RG) generate neurons, glial cells, and later adult neural stem cells, which sustain adult neurogenesis (top, left to right). Human‐specific genetic modifications (blue arrow), selected to boost early RG neurogenic activity, may lead to premature RG exhaustion and reduced adult neurogenesis in the human brain (bottom).
