Geological processes shaping freshwater biodiversity: a synthesis of global evidence
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1568-1581, June 2026.ABSTRACT Recent genomic data highlight the key roles of geological processes in shaping the diversification and biogeography of freshwater lineages. Specifically, physical processes such as tectonic uplift, erosion, glaciation, lake formation, and sea‐level fluctuation contribute extensively to the evolution of biotic diversity within and among ...

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1582-1605, June 2026.ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

Mechanisms of Body Alignment in a Diurnal Songbird Migrant
Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 6, Page 399-411, June 2026.The graphical abstract illustrates the body alignment mechanism of a diurnal songbird migrant, the dunnock (Prunella modularis). Dunnocks consistently expressed an angular body alignment, with inter‐individual variation at the level of the population.

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 6, Page 373-384, June 2026.Scoring of male courtship behaviour in Dolomedes minor revealed no effect of female mating status on courtship duration or sequence structure, but males delayed the initiation of courtship when encountering previously mated females. ABSTRACT The evolution of male courtship rituals has traditionally been attributed to female mate selection, but may also

Behavioral Responses of Two Common Woodland Salamanders to Novel Urban Stimuli
Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 6, Page 430-439, June 2026.We examined behavioral responses of the Eastern Red‐backed Salamander (Plethodon cinereus) and Northern Ravine Salamander (P. electromorphus) to novel urban stimuli. The Northern Ravine Salamander exhibited increased thigmotaxis in the presence of concrete pavers simulating roads and walkways.

Hypotheses for the Adaptive Maintenance of Phenotypic Polymorphisms
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Phenotypic polymorphisms offer easily observable diversity ideal for empirical and theoretical exploration, but developing and comparing hypotheses for the adaptive maintenance of polymorphism can be a challenge. Here, we propose a framework categorizing polymorphisms based on (i) one of five distinct types of maintenance selection and (ii) the context
