Seasonal Exploitation of Migratory Waterfowl at Natufian el‐Wad Terrace, Mount Carmel, Israel

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 35, Issue 6, Page 555-570, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Increased avian exploitation is a hallmark of broad‐spectrum subsistence strategies in the Levantine Natufian culture (15,000–11,700 cal. BP). However, detailed publications of bird remains from the Natufian are scant, especially regarding the Early Natufian, and the available evidence shows high inter‐site variability that begs explanation ...

Opposite geographical body size patterns in two subspecies of spur‐thighed tortoises in North Africa match climatic niche divergence

Journal of Zoology, Volume 327, Issue 3, Page 248-258, November 2025.
We investigated body size variation in two North African subspecies of spur‐thighed tortoises, Testudo graeca whitei and T. g. marokkensis, in relation to environmental gradients. The subspecies exhibited opposite geographical size patterns consistent with their divergent climatic niches: T. g. marokkensis followed Bergmann's rule, while T. g.

The evolution of muscle spindles

Experimental Physiology, Volume 110, Issue 10, Page 1401-1421, October 1, 2025.
Abstract Muscle spindles are stretch‐sensitive mechanoreceptors found in the skeletal muscles of most four‐limbed vertebrates. They are unique amongst sensory receptors in the ability to regulate their sensitivity by contraction of the intrafusal muscle fibres on which the sensory endings lie.

A practical toolkit for wetland management and conservation: Lessons from reclassifying urban land into a protected area

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 3, July–September 2025.
This study documents the rare case of Charca de Suárez in southern Spain, where urban‐designated land was successfully reclassified and restored as a protected wetland. Based on 2 years of stakeholder input, we developed a practical toolkit combining ecological restoration, infrastructure, biodiversity monitoring and community engagement.
