Digging into dirt: Rewilding with threatened mammals shapes soil‐emerging insect assemblages
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 7, Page 1207-1219, July 2026.By comparing insect communities across treatments at two time points, we show that reintroduced digging mammals shape soil‐emerging insect assemblages. This provides empirical evidence that restoring ecosystem engineers may drive broader community‐level change in semi‐arid ecosystems. Abstract Digging mammals function as ecosystem engineers by altering

A simulation study of subterranean termites' territory formation
Ecological Informatics, 2009 Abstract The process through which the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, establishes territory was simulated using a lattice model in order to understand how such territories are formed from their seeds-founding pairs that fall to the ground every year.

Social organization and habitat use shape the gut microbiome of a marine fish
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 7, Page 1091-1107, July 2026.This study provides the first evidence linking habitat use—and to a lesser extent social organization—to gut microbiome composition in a wild marine fish. The results indicate that local habitat conditions are the primary driver of microbial variation, while social effects are detectable but weak.

The Forms and Structures of Chimpanzee Algae Fishing
American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 6, June 2026.We use a systematic, multi‐level framework to describe a recently reported chimpanzee tool use behavior—deep‐water algae fishing. Moyen‐Bafing chimpanzees combined 5 Grips and 4 Actions into 22 Techniques. Our data suggest that chimpanzees benefit from maintaining multiple flexible strategies for this dynamic foraging challenge.

Sketching microprotein portraits
Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract The illustrations of intricate molecular machineries inside cells created by David Goodsell continue to inspire the scientific community. Here, we aim to extend his artworks to include microproteins, a newly recognized class of small proteins with less than 100 amino acids, encoded by small open reading frames.
