The colonisation of Madagascar by land‐bound vertebrates
Despite discussions extending back almost 160 years, the means by which Madagascar's
iconic land vertebrates arrived on the island remains the focus of active debate. Three …

Phosphorus-mobilization ecosystem engineering: the roles of cluster roots and carboxylate exudation in young P-limited ecosystems
Background Carboxylate-releasing cluster roots of Proteaceae play a key role in acquiring
phosphorus (P) from ancient nutrient-impoverished soils in Australia. However, cluster roots …

If dung beetles (Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) arose in association with dinosaurs, did they also suffer a mass co-extinction at the K-Pg boundary?
The evolutionary success of beetles and numerous other terrestrial insects is generally
attributed to co-radiation with flowering plants but most studies have focused on herbivorous …
