The impacts of biological invasions

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

When the Cover Burns: Behavioral and Morphological Responses of Western Fence Lizards (Sceloporus occidentalis) to Increased Openness in Post‐Fire Environments

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We found that Western Fence Lizards experience higher detectability in burned areas but do not consistently darken or adjust perch use to enhance background matching, despite showing improved camouflage on darker substrates. These results suggest that lizards may face behavioral trade‐offs in post‐fire landscapes that could influence success.

Untangling Colour Diversity: Ecogeographic Patterns in Two Scolopendra Species Revealed by Citizen Science

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Using citizen‐science records, we analysed ecogeographic patterns of colour polymorphism in two closely related centipede species across Japan. While two colour morphs in Scolopendra mutilans are broadly sympatric, they are geographically restricted in S. japonica despite overlapping climatic niches and biotic interactions.

Beyond Bergmann and Allen: A Unified Framework for Thermoregulatory Morphology

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Context Ecogeographical rules such as Bergmann's and Allen's have long guided expectations about how organismal size and shape vary across temperature gradients. Yet these rules are typically tested independently despite sharing a common thermoregulatory basis.

Innovative Didactic Learning Formats: Have They Improved Dental Education? A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesInternational Endodontic Journal, Volume 59, Issue 6, Page 943-967, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background New learning methods require higher professor‐to‐student ratios, increased faculty preparation time, continuous professional development for educators, and expanded physical spaces within university settings. Objectives This systematic review aimed to answer the following PICO question: In dental students (P), what is the ...

Disease Refuge or Ecological Trap: Location‐Specific Performance of Amphibian Hotspot Shelters

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Artificial hotspot shelters, which provide sun‐heated retreats, can help frogs clear infections from the amphibian chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis) by creating warm microhabitats unsuitable for the pathogen. We monitored shelter temperatures at two Australian sites and found they reached therapeutic levels far more often in Sydney than ...

Beyond Species Diversity: Functional Approaches Reveal Consistent Fauna Community Responses to Exotic Grass Invasion in Arid Lands

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
To assess whether the impacts of exotic plant invasion can be generalised across taxa, we developed a conceptual framework predicting faunal responses to grass invasion in open, arid ecosystems and tested our predictions using data on birds, reptiles and ants from sites invaded by buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) and paired uninvaded sites.

Color and Near‐Infrared Reflectance Covary in Distinct Ways Across Taxa

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Solar reflectance across ultraviolet, visible, and near‐infrared wavelengths was analyzed in integuments and eggs of 322 species. We found consistent positive correlations between UV and visible reflectance, while visible‐NIR associations varied across taxa, with differences in baseline reflectance suggesting structural or compositional influences ...
