And then there was us Et puis nous sommes apparus

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
In 1987, the academic conference ‘Origins and Dispersals of Modern Humans: Behavioural and Biological Perspectives’ was held in Cambridge, UK. Subsequently referred to as the ‘Human Revolution’ conference, this meeting brought together the most prominent academics working in the field of human origins, including archaeologists and palaeoanthropologists,

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Litterfall production in tropical natural forests on Hainan Island: variations across vegetation types and dependence on community properties

Ecological Indicators
Litterfall production is fundamental to various functions and processes within forest ecosystems. Yet, it has been primarily investigated within single vegetation types, with its dependence on biotic conditions remaining largely undefined, particularly ...

Predicting animal movement with deepSSF: A deep learning step selection framework

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Predictions of animal movement are vital for understanding and managing wild populations. However, the fine‐scale, complex decision‐making of animals can pose challenges for the accurate prediction of trajectories. Integrated step selection functions (iSSFs), a common tool for inferring relationships between animal movement and the environment,

Can hierarchical modelling of co‐occurrence data provide accurate inference into species interactions?

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract In recent years, several compelling critiques have emerged of approaches that leverage co‐occurrence data to understand the dynamic complexities posed by species interactions. Here, motivated by the key arguments formalized over a century of debate, we use simulations grounded in ecological theory to provide guidance on when co‐occurrence data

The Importance of Environmental Heterogeneity in Evaluating the Conservation Status of Two Frog Species in a Changing Amazonian Interfluve

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Identifying the most effective criterion to assess the conservation status of vulnerable species in threatened tropical regions is crucial to evaluate recovery plans. We investigated the influence of environmental heterogeneity on the extent of occurrence (EOO), area of occupied habitat (AOH), and density variation of two Amazonian riparian frog ...
