Prosopanche: a remarkable genus of parasitic plants by Hatt, SA, Cameron, DD, Grace, OM, Rocamundi, N, Cocucci, AA, Martel, C, Thorogood, CJ

“…Growing almost entirely underground with a complete lack of leaves, plants of Prosopanche bear more resemblance to fungi than plants and have many remarkable aspects to their life history and ecology that require further investigation. Here, we provide an up-to-date revision of the current state of understanding of Prosopanche, including taxonomy, biogeography, plant-pollinator ecology and host-parasite interactions. …”

Reverse mounting in birds by Villar, DA

“…These include a lack of experimental studies on reverse mounting, as well as a complete lack of any studies on the neurobiology or endocrinology of reverse mounting. We also speculate about the potential evolutionary consequences of reverse mounting, in the context of how other previously overlooked non-reproductive sexual behaviours have been found to have significant evolutionary consequences.…”

Neotropical understory birds and mammals show divergent behaviour responses to human pressure by Negret, Pablo Jose, Luskin, Mathew Scott, Gomez-Valencia, Bibiana, Diaz-Pulido, Angelica, Romero, Luis Hernando, Restrepo, Adriana, Zaehringer, Julie G., Jones, Kendall R., Ochoa-Quintero, Jose Manuel, Mendes, Calebe Pereira

“…The contrasting behavioural responses to humans among vertebrate functional groups has significant repercussions for the fields of community ecology, including intraguild predation and competition, and should be a significant ecosystem-level conservation consideration.…”

Strontium isoscape of sub-Saharan Africa allows tracing origins of victims of the transatlantic slave trade by Wang, X, Bocksberger, G, Arandjelovic, M, Agbor, A, Angedakin, S, Aubert, F, Ayimisin, EA, Bailey, E, Barubiyo, D, Bessone, M, Bobe, R, Bonnet, M, Boucher, R, Brazzola, G, Brewer, S, Lee, KC, Carvalho, S, Chancellor, R, Cipoletta, C, Cohen, H, Copeland, SR, Corogenes, K, Costa, AM, Coupland, C, Neil, E

“…Strontium isotope (87Sr/86Sr) analysis with reference to strontium isotope landscapes (Sr isoscapes) allows reconstructing mobility and migration in archaeology, ecology, and forensics. However, despite the vast potential of research involving 87Sr/86Sr analysis particularly in Africa, Sr isoscapes remain unavailable for the largest parts of the continent. …”
