Multi‐Omic Analysis Reveals Population Differentiation and Signatures of Social Evolution in Tetragonula Stingless BeesNARA Subscribed
Stingless bees in the genus Tetragonula are social insects with a fully sterile worker caste, and are therefore well‐placed to provide insights into the genomic changes associated with ‘superorganismal’ life histories. Here we assemble the genome of Tetragonula carbonaria and characterise the population structure and divergence of both T. carbonaria and its cryptic congener T. hockingsi in eastern Australia, revealing three di...
Aim The urgency for remote, reliable and scalable biodiversity monitoring amidst mounting human pressures on ecosystems has sparked worldwide interest in Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), which can track life underwater and on land. However, we lack a unified methodology to report this sampling effort and a comprehensive overview of PAM coverage to gauge its potential as a global research and monitoring tool. To address this...
Environmental Factors Are Stronger Predictors of Primate Species’ Distributions Than Basic Biological TraitsNARA Subscribed
Understanding the neutral, biological, and environmental processes driving species distributions is valuable in informing conservation efforts because it will help us predict how species will respond to changes in environmental conditions. Environmental processes affect species differently according to their biological traits, which determine how they interact with their environment. Therefore, functional, trait-based modeling...
A life less ordinary: analysis of the uniquely preserved tattooed dermal remains of an individual from 19th century FranceNARA Subscribed
‘Anthropologies of the Body’ often view the human form as a sort of text, onto which meanings and experiences are inscribed during people’s lives, rendering the body effectively as an artefact of material culture. Such ‘inscription’ is generally metaphorical; however, in the case of tattooing, aspects of the way people wish to be perceived are quite literally inscribed upon the body. The current article presents analysis of an...
Sleeping tree selection and related behaviours of a family group and a solitary female siamang ( Symphalangus syndactylus ) were investigated over a 5-month period in northern Sumatra, Indonesia. We performed all day follows, sleeping tree surveys and forest plot enumerations in the field. We tested whether: (1) physical characteristics of sleeping trees and the surrounding trees, together with siamang behaviours, supported se...
