Fossil bears break free from inhibitory cascade constraints at least twice (Ursus minimus and Ursus deningeri) caused by dietary adaptations

Boreas, EarlyView.
Bears deviate from the inhibitory cascade model (ICM) during molar size evolution, with two significant deviations linked to changes in diet: Ursus minimus and Ursus deningeri. Many bears exhibit a ‘partial ICM’, highlighting the relationship between relative molar size, dietary adaptations and dental development across different species.

Pleistocene aridification cycles shaped the contemporary genetic architecture of Southern African baboons. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Plio-Pleistocene environmental change influenced the evolutionary history of many animal lineages in Africa, highlighting key roles for both climate and tectonics in the evolution of Africa's faunal diversity.

Dynamics of direct inter-pack encounters in endangered African wild dogs [PDF]

, 2017
Aggressive encounters may have important life history consequences due to the potential for injury and death, disease transmission, dispersal opportunities or exclusion from key areas of the home range.

Topological spatial representation in wild chacma baboons (Papio ursinus)

Animal Cognition, 2019
Many species orient towards specific locations to reach important resources using different cognitive mechanisms. Some of these, such as path integration, are now well understood, but the cognitive orientation mechanisms that underlie movements in non ...

Infanticide and infant defence by males--modelling the conditions in primate multi-male groups [PDF]

, 2004
Infanticide by primate males was considered rare if groups contain more than one adult male because, owing to lower paternity certainty, a male should be less likely to benefit from infanticide.

Variable species establishment in response to microhabitat indicates different likelihoods of climate‐driven range shifts

Ecography, EarlyView.
Climate change is causing geographic range shifts globally, and understanding the factors that influence species' range expansions is crucial for predicting future biodiversity changes. A common, yet untested, assumption in forecasting approaches is that species will shift beyond current range edges into new habitats as they become macroclimatically ...

Lagged climate‐driven range shifts at species' leading, but not trailing, range edges revealed by multispecies seed addition experiment

Ecography, EarlyView.
Climate change is causing many species' ranges to shift upslope to higher elevations as species track their climatic requirements. However, many species have not shifted in pace with recent warming (i.e. ‘range stasis'), possibly due to demographic lags or microclimatic buffering.

Caught in the Headlights: Revising the Road Kill Hypothesis of Antebellum Illinois Bank Failures

Essays in Economic and Business History, 2017
Illinois had a dismal free banking experience, with over 80% of its free banks failing by the start of the Civil War. Researchers agree that a dramatic change in bond prices was the catalyst, and some have shown that the riskiest banks, ex ante, were the

Unity or Distinction? Herman Bavinck’s Use of John Calvin and Later Reformed Orthodoxy in His Doctrine of the Two States

International Journal of Systematic Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines the doctrine of Christ’s two states of humiliation and exaltation in Herman Bavinck’s and John Calvin’s thought, with the aim of illuminating Bavinck’s use of Calvin. The article begins by exploring Calvin’s use of the two states and argues that his treatment of Christ’s descent into hell is an important though ...

Microbial Contributions to Primate Reproduction

Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Reproduction is a complex process, and microbes play a far greater role than previously imagined. This review explores the ways that microbiomes influence the rich tapestry of reproductive processes and outcomes within the primate lineage, including pre‐copulatory and post‐copulatory mechanisms.
