Forest disturbance and the spread of invasive species disrupt diel activity patterns in New Guinea ant communities

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Primary forests hosted more diurnal species and exhibited significant diel specialization. Secondary forests were less species‐rich, dominated by invasive ants, with reduced diel partitioning and more species active at night. Although the overall ant activity was higher during the day, this pattern was stratum‐dependent: arboreal and terrestrial ants ...

Orchid genome evolution and trait innovation

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Orchids became one of the world's most diverse plant groups through genome‐driven innovations, unique relationships with fungi and pollinators, and remarkable adaptability. This review explains the origins of orchids and the evolution of their distinctive life forms, flowers, and ecological strategies and highlights promising directions for future ...

Thermogenesis‐derived spatiotemporal microclimates guide pollinator movement to ensure pollination

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Alocasia odora's microclimatic heterogeneity guides Colocasiomyia fly movement within its inflorescence. During the female stage, midday heat in the upper spadix pushes flies down to the cooler female zone. During the male stage, nocturnal warmth in the upper part pulls flies upward and spathe constriction closes the lower female chamber.

Hoffmann's two‐toed sloth II: Muscle architectural properties in the thoracic limb of Choloepus (Pilosa: Xenarthra)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Two‐toed sloths use their thoracic limbs for more frequent and greater suspensory support than three‐toed sloths and have muscle architectural properties consistent with stability of the pectoral girdle, enhanced flexor force/torque applied at the shoulder and elbow joints, and grip on the support as indicated by their myology. Abstract Two‐toed sloths
