A review on true dung beetles' evolutionary and ecological responses to temperature and impacts on ecosystem functions

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 621-638, August 2026.
True dung beetles are a speciose group of ecosystem engineers that play key roles as detritivores in natural and agricultural landscapes. Scarabaeine beetles show strong thermal plasticity and there is increasing evidence of rapid evolutionary divergence in response to temperature across ecological and evolutionary timescales, with likely consequences ...

Shifty Frogs: Evidence of Iridescence Among Amphibians

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Iridescence is a striking optical phenomenon observed in some animals whereby colour or reflectivity changes based on viewing angle, such that two observers in different locations may simultaneously perceive the same tissue differently. Among amphibians, there is limited photographic evidence of tissues displaying colour shifts that define ...

Environmental correlates of spatio‐temporal patterns of colour variation in a bird of prey: The common buzzard (Buteo buteo)

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 3, Page 985-1001, July 2026.
High colour variability in animals has been associated with adaptability to environmental change. Establishing how such variability is distributed in time and space, and identifying environmental correlates, can help understand the processes driving it.

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological 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

Ecology 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

Ecology 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

Global 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.
