A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying 'sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity'. We review the init...
Individualised niches: an integrative conceptual framework across behaviour, ecology, and evolution [0.03%]
个体化生态位：行为学、生态学和进化领域中的综合概念框架
Oliver Krüger,Jaime Anaya-Rojas,Mitja Back et al.
Oliver Krüger et al.
Individuals differ. While seemingly trivial, this insight has nevertheless led to paradigm shifts, as three key fields of organismal biology have seen marked changes in key concepts over the past few decades. In animal behaviour, it has bec...
Diet of bird-like troodontid dinosaurs: synthesis of a contentious clade [0.03%]
鸟脚类衍化的偷蛋龙类恐龙的食性：一个争论性分类群的总结

Troodontidae is a clade of small-to medium-sized maniraptoran theropods that mainly lived in Laurasia (modern Asia, North America and Europe) during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods and are believed to have had a variety of diets. The un...
Host, vector, and parasite dynamics: exploring intrinsic and extrinsic factors shaping tick-borne filarial nematode transmission [0.03%]
宿主、媒介和寄生虫的动态变化：探索影响蜱传丝虫线虫传播的内在和外在因素
Oluwaseun D Ajileye,Gabriel L Hamer,Sarah A Hamer et al.
Oluwaseun D Ajileye et al.
Tick-borne filarial nematodes are a complex and understudied group of parasites that rely on ticks for transmission in vertebrates. This review examines how intrinsic and extrinsic factors may influence the successful transmission of filari...
Subterranean environments contribute to three-quarters of classified ecosystem services [0.03%]

Rivers act as vital arteries to the world's oceans, delivering fresh water and nutrients that sustain marine ecosystems. Globally, river flow increasingly is being altered by climate change and anthropogenic pressures; yet the significance ...
Spatial metrics in fire ecology: seeking consistency amidst complexity [0.03%]
纷繁复杂中寻求一致：论火环境学中的空间计量属性
Alexander R Carey,Geoffrey J Cary,Teigan Cremona et al.
Alexander R Carey et al.
Technological advances, including remote sensing, have led to a proliferation of metrics used in ecological studies to examine spatial patterns of fire regimes and their ecological effects. Researchers can use many different metrics to anal...
Geological processes shaping freshwater biodiversity: a synthesis of global evidence [0.03%]
地质过程对淡水生物多样性的影响：全球证据综述
Jonathan M Waters,Christopher P Burridge,David Craw et al.
Jonathan M Waters et al.
Recent genomic data highlight the key roles of geological processes in shaping the diversification and biogeography of freshwater lineages. Specifically, physical processes such as tectonic uplift, erosion, glaciation, lake formation, and s...
Methylation and merriment: an exploration of epigenetic mechanisms underlying play behaviour [0.03%]
甲基化与欢乐：探究表观遗传机制在玩耍行为中的作用
Robert J Malka,Marcos Arranz,Ignacio Baselga-Carretero
Robert J Malka
Species from octopi to humans engage in play. This review examines how epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, may regulate play behaviour across taxa. We frame play through historical definitions, categorizing it into object, locom...

Communication and sociality are intimately related, as many important social processes are mediated by communication between signal senders and receivers. Despite recent advances in social network analysis, animal communication networks rem...
