Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The design of experiments to investigate the combined effects of multiple stressors requires exposing target organisms to multiple combinations of stressor doses. Concurrent manipulation of stressors is often infeasible with wildlife, but long‐lasting health effects allow individual health to be used as an integrator of prior stressor exposure.

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT The common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) is a resident species along the Portuguese mainland coast, yet knowledge of its stranding patterns and feeding ecology is scarce. This study presents a comprehensive assessment of strandings (n = 264, from 1980 to 2019) and feeding ecology based on stomach content analysis (n = 43 from 1997 to

Beyond Body Mass, Beyond Adulthood: The Ontogeny of Sexual Size Monomorphism
American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 1, May 2026.ABSTRACT Objectives Contest competition for mates and female reproductive energetics influence body size and sexual dimorphism across many primates; nevertheless, some monomorphic species defy these patterns. These deviations may reflect biological anthropology's focus on body mass and adult size as defining features of sexual dimorphism.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Archival Swedish newspapers from the 18th to 20th centuries reveal that the Baltic harbour porpoise once utilized the waters along the full Swedish coast, reaching far north into the Gulf of Bothnia, areas where it no longer occurs today. These records show a major range loss and highlight the importance of historical baselines for conservation ...
