Mixed‐species plantations sustain tree‐dwelling arthropod diversity comparable to natural forests, with similar functional evenness but distinct species composition. Analyses of β‐diversity and LCBD highlight unique site contributions associated with reduced species and functional richness, as these distinct sites contain fewer yet more unique species.

Kant's Solution to the Trilemma of Concept Formation
Abstract According to a widespread assumption, Kant's logical account of concept formation starts with comparison, where the latter involves concepts. On this assumption, the formation of a concept presupposes other concepts, so that the argument is threatened either by circularity, regress, or break‐off.

Peer Pressure: Do the Fitness Benefits of Animal Behavioral Traits Vary With Conspecific Density?
We show that the activity of juvenile North American red squirrels influenced their survival in a density‐dependent manner: more active individuals had higher survival under high conspecific density, whereas less active juveniles had higher survival under low densities. Juveniles who were both more active and aggressive were more likely to survive. Our

Breaking the ice: multiple origins of ice‐binding/antifreeze proteins
Ice‐binding proteins (IBPs) evolved independently in many organisms during Cenozoic cooling and glaciation. In flounders, α‐helical IBPs evolved from an antiviral protein, while similar IBPs arose independently from different progenitors in three other fish lineages.

Natal dispersal is a key ecological process influencing gene flow, population connectivity and individual fitness. In altricial birds, the transition from fledging to natal dispersal is mediated by the post‐fledging dependence period, which is often difficult to observe in elusive, forest‐dwelling species.
