How Food Geometry and Toughness Influence Ingestive Patterns in Lemurs

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 7, July 2026.
Initial bite placement is influenced by food toughness and geometry. Species‐specific feeding strategies reflect differences in masticatory morphology and functional flexibility. Lemur catta is more likely to use the postcanine tooth row; Propithecus verreauxi prefers anterior biting. ABSTRACT We investigate the extent to which food toughness, geometry,

A Novel Sampling Protocol for Fruit‐Feeding Butterflies in Grasslands and Open Habitats

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study proposed a novel sampling protocol for fruit‐feeding butterflies in grasslands and open areas in the subtropical region. The new method involves the use of Van Someren‐Rydon bait traps placed on specific supports closer to the ground, aiming to capture the true diversity of butterflies in these habitats.

Small collections, great findings: three new species and two new state records for Asteraceae from Brazil

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2025, Issue 12, December 2025.
The BHZB herbarium was founded in 1993 with about 16 787 registers – a number that has to be considered as small when compared to larger herbaria in Brazil. In the BHZB, 97.5% of the vouchers are from the Minas Gerais state (ca 16 372 specimens), with Asteraceae being the best represented family.

Ecological function over evolutionary legacy: The limited role of shared evolutionary history in shaping modern frugivory interactions

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 12, Page 3688-3703, December 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Frugivory, encompassing interactions between vertebrates and plants that range from mutualistic to antagonistic, drives seed dispersal and underpins the structure and resilience of tropical ecosystems.
