Morphological variation in atlas and axis of Neotropical spiny rats (Rodentia, Echimyidae)

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 10, Page 2873-2896, October 2026.
Abstract The unique morphologies of the first two cervical vertebrae, the atlas and axis, represent a significant innovation in mammalian evolution. These structures support the weight of the head and enable intricate movements of the head and neck.

The evidence base for ranger patrol effectiveness in conservation and how to improve it

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2172-2189, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Ranger patrols are a cornerstone of wildlife protection efforts around the world and occur across all ecological governance systems. Evidence that patrols reduce threats to wildlife and enable their recovery has not been systematically examined previously.

Sociability Under Anthropogenic Change: From Individual Behaviour to Population‐Level Consequences

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Our review synthesises empirical and theoretical research on how anthropogenic environmental change reshapes animal social behaviour from individuals to populations. We use sociability as an individual‐level lens, distinguishing context‐dependent expression from repeatable interindividual differences and linking both to social relationships, network ...

Sustainable Landscaping and Sustainability Education on a College Campus: A Case Study in Place‐Based, Collaborative Ecosystem Science

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
This article presents a case study in place‐based, collaborative ecosystem science at Macalester College. We describe a successful partnership between academic departments, the sustainability office, and facilities services to assess the benefits of converting campus turfgrass to native plantings.

Dual‐Locus Metabarcoding Reveals Dry‐Season Dietary Differentiation Between Elephants and Impalas in a South African Savanna

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
We applied dual‐locus DNA metabarcoding to compare dry‐season diets of African elephants and impalas in a South African savanna. Despite similar dietary diversity, the two species differed substantially in dietary composition, with differentiation associated with fine‐scale taxonomic differences rather than overall dietary breadth.
