A Generalizable Tool for Predicting Developmental Phenology for Wild Ecotherms

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Custom hatch timing models developed for four North American Lithobates frog species. Models are parameterized from Moore (1939). Panels (A, B) shows differential developmental rates under varying thermal regimes and G × E interactions. ABSTRACT Development in poikilothermic organisms is strongly temperature‐dependent, particularly during early life ...

DNA barcoding for identification of species involved in wildlife strikes at Brazilian airports

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.
A collaborative network of 42 Brazilian airports applied DNA barcoding to identify 80 species involved in wildlife strikes. Among them, 32 species (17 birds and 15 bats) were not currently available in Brazil's wildlife strike reporting database, underscoring the value of molecular tools for strengthening wildlife strike monitoring. Abstract This study

Myology of the Reptilia

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, 2020
Sauropsid vertebrates (lepidosaurs, turtles, crocodilians and birds) have evolved a diversity of head shapes and feeding behaviors during their history. A key to understanding this great radiation of reptiles is the physiology of the jaw musculature which powers the feeding apparatus.

Effectiveness of conservation lands in Mexico for safeguarding terrestrial endemic species from the human‐induced extinction crisis

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
Across 1639 endemic Mexican species, we show that most species' ranges coincide with moderate to high human pressure, while existing conservation lands cover only a small fraction of their distributions. This spatial mismatch indicates that current conservation–land networks are insufficient to prevent future biodiversity loss. Substantial expansion of

Fuzzy relationships among plant dispersal mechanisms, syndromes, and animal vectors

open access: yesEcology, Volume 107, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Knowledge of which animal clades and dispersal mechanisms contribute to seed dispersal is critical for understanding the ecology and evolution of plant communities. However, a broad understanding is limited by a focus on single clades and mechanisms. Here, we analyzed a Europe‐wide multi‐clade seed dispersal dataset with interactions among 447

Mammalian Osteoderm Ultrastructure in the Armored Acomys Spiny Mouse Tail

open access: yesSmall, Volume 22, Issue 40, 17 July 2026.
The ultrastructure of armored platelets – termed osteoderms – in the tail skin of Acomys cahirinus spiny mice is characterized using 2D and 3D microscopy methods. The imbricated structure is composed of calcium phosphate biomineral and has select structural elements that are bone‐like and tooth‐like in nature.
