Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 830-845, November 2026.ABSTRACT Islands harbour unique biodiversity, and depending on their geological origin, they have fundamentally different colonisation histories: continental islands may contain relict faunas shaped by vicariance and sporadic gene flow, whereas oceanic islands must have been colonised across open seas, often through long‐distance dispersal events ...

Evolutionary history and taxonomy of the genus Zea
American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 10, October 2026.Abstract Premise Taxonomic differentiation of teosinte species (Zea spp.), the closest relatives of maize (Z. mays) is crucial for understanding their distribution, ecology, and evolutionary history. Resolving the taxonomic uncertainties is of scientific interest and has practical implications for biodiversity management, preservation, and utilization.

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2081-2102, October 2026.ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Counting cases, conserving species: addressing highly pathogenic avian influenza in wildlife
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2190-2213, October 2026.ABSTRACT Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has become a critical threat to wildlife, shifting from a seasonal epizootic to a persistent, year‐round panzootic with global consequences. Here, we summarise the origin, evolutionary mechanisms, and expanding host range of the current H5N1 virus (clade 2.3.4.4b) and assess its impact on wildlife. Over

Waders in a sea of debris: a global overview
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2253-2264, October 2026.ABSTRACT The impact of plastic pollution on ecosystems and marine fauna is well documented, although research into its effects on waders (also known as shorebirds) remains limited. Given that waders are exposed to coastal marine litter, this exposure could be a significant factor in the decline of their populations. This study aims to assess the global

The costs of extra‐pair behaviours in birds
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2300-2312, October 2026.ABSTRACT Extra‐pair behaviours – reproductive behaviours, including those related to copulation and paternity of offspring, amongst animals outside of a social pair bond – have long intrigued behavioural ecologists, particularly from the female animal's perspective.
