Open DOI
From muscle fibres to muscle gears: how dynamic fascicle orientation and shape change impact skeletal muscle function
Skeletal muscle architectural design strongly affects force‐generating capacity and excursion range, and its functional importance to animal and human movement is well founded. Traditionally, this ‘structure–function relation’ has been i...

Omphalosauridae (Ichthyosauriformes): enigmatic marine reptiles in the global recovery from the end‐Permian extinction
Omphalosauridae are an under‐appreciated part of the biotic recovery from the end‐Permian Mass Extinction. This clade, including the genera Omphalosaurus , Sclerocormus and Cartorhynchus , is an enigmatic radiation of secondarily marine ...

Climate and human impacts on the dietary niche overlap of sympatric livestock and wild ungulates
As anthropogenic activities continue to expand globally, large‐scale livestock encroachment into wildlife habitats increasingly threatens ecological balance, particularly by altering species interactions. Millions of wild ungulates now s...

Open DOI
Resolving the biome debate: ecological and palaeo‐data concur that the extensive tree‐limited grassy biomes of central and north‐western Madagascar are largely anthropogenic
For millennia, human activities have transformed ecosystems globally. Determining which landscapes are predominantly anthropogenic is crucial to conservation and habitat restoration. Madagascar, a critically‐threatened biodiversity hotsp...

Food‐solicitation displays in nestling birds: still begging for answers
Nestling begging is a key model for understanding animal communication and parent–offspring conflict. Dynamic begging displays are often interpreted as costly, honest signals of need, with honesty maintained by viability costs, as propos...

Knowledge gaps and research directions in migration ecology for advancing the conservation of migratory songbirds
Understanding migration ecology is essential for effective conservation of migratory species. To achieve a comprehensive understanding of the ecology of migrating species, it is necessary to study how species react to the complex interpl...

Hot and cold deserts as eco‐evolutionary arenas for understanding plant resistance to multiple abiotic stressors
During their long evolutionary history, land plants have evolved a range of adaptations to different abiotic stressors. These help explain present‐day diversity and distribution patterns, as well as the potential resilience of natural an...

A global meta‐analysis of non‐lethal mammal browsing control in forests
Increasing resource demand, desire to sequester atmospheric carbon, and conservation goals are driving a need for forests to be managed more effectively in the face of numerous challenges. One such challenge is damage perpetrated by brow...

Land birds on atolls: diversity, origin, and function
Oceanic islands are global hotspots of avian biodiversity and endemism. Their isolation and distinct environmental conditions have uniquely shaped the evolutionary trajectories of island birds, while, in turn, land bird communities have ...
