Counting cases, conserving species: addressing highly pathogenic avian influenza in wildlife
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has become a critical threat to wildlife, shifting from a seasonal epizootic to a persistent, year‐round panzootic with global consequences. Here, we summarise the origin, evolutionary mechanisms, and expanding host range of the current H5N1 virus (clade 2.3.4.4b) and assess its impact on wildlife. Over

Utterance evolution: the road to generative, combinatorial communicators
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Language has long been considered uniquely complex in the animal kingdom; however, animal research over the last decade has begun to challenge some long‐standing premises about exactly which language capacities are uniquely human. The task of resolving why and how complex communication systems evolve, particularly human language, has ...

Kin discrimination in plants: overview and implications for population and community ecology
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Following the discovery of identity discrimination, particularly self and kin discrimination amongst plant competitors, research on interplant interactions has advanced significantly within plant physiology and evolutionary ecology. This review synthesizes current knowledge on how both self and kin discrimination influence plant growth ...

Drop inlet spillways for gully dams
, 1975 Spillways of gully dams are very subject to erosion because of the difficulty of maintaining a protective grass cover when the stream flows continuously through winter and perhaps well into summer. At the same time, although concrete drop inlets (or pipe
