A Typology of Australian Terrestrial Bird Communities
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Holistic measurement of the response of fauna communities to interventions requires suitable community condition metrics. However, the development of such metrics is hindered by the absence of broad‐scale typologies at suitable spatial and ecological resolutions. We aimed to derive a preliminary typology of terrestrial bird communities for

Inhibitory control tests in non‐human animals: validity, reliability, and perspectives
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2482-2507, December 2025.ABSTRACT Inhibitory control, the ability to control impulsive or pre‐learned behaviour in order to reach a more rewarding goal, is essential in many aspects of normal life. In non‐human animals, better inhibitory control performances have been associated with a larger brain, better problem‐solving skills, and fitness benefits.
