Dominant species stability outweighs species asynchrony and diversity in regulating temperate forest regeneration

Forest Ecosystems
Climate change increasingly threatens forest regeneration by disrupting seedling dynamics, yet the stabilizing mechanisms underpinning these critical early life stages remain poorly understood.

Osteohistological evidence for terrestrial adaptation and an extended growth period in mekosuchine crocodylians and its potential role in their extinction

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Australasian crocodylian fossil record is dominated by the extinct endemic clade Mekosuchinae, with known members spanning the Eocene‐to‐Holocene. This diverse clade exhibited high morphological disparity, from early members superficially similar to Crocodylus, to more terrestrial forms later in the clade's evolutionary history.

Histological description and bone compactness analysis of fossil (Aldabrachelys sp.) and extant Aldabra giant tortoise (Aldabrachelys gigantea) shell bone fragments

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Aldabra Atoll, north of Madagascar and part of the Seychelles Outer Islands, is home to the Aldabra giant tortoise, Aldabrachelys gigantea, the only survivor of several species of giant tortoises that were once widespread on islands across the Western Indian Ocean.

Spatial and temporal characterization of critical ecosystem services in China’s terrestrial area, 2000–2020: trade-off synergies, driving mechanisms and functional zoning

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Identifying ecosystem service functions, clarifying the spatiotemporal trade-offs and synergies of terrestrial ecosystem services and their driving mechanisms, and exploring differentiated ecological functional zoning are crucial steps in achieving ...

First Record of Tasmanian Devils in the Pilbara: Late Quaternary Subfossils From Juukan Gorge, Puutu Kunti Kurrama Country, and Insights Into Human—Faunal Relationships and Extinction

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents the first unequivocal evidence for the presence of Tasmanian devils (Sarcophilus harrisii) in the Pilbara region of northwestern Australia, based on material recovered from archaeological excavations at Juukan Gorge on Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Pinikura country.

Comparative Meta‐Analysis of Antimicrobial Peptides in Aquatic and Terrestrial Livestock Species

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
A global meta‐analysis of 58 studies (926 effect sizes and 29 species across five taxa) revealed that dietary antimicrobial peptides generally improve growth performance, blood metabolites, and immune responses. The greatest benefits were observed in omnivorous livestock, such as pigs and chickens. Dose‐duration effects were evident. An optimal outcome
