The Angiosperm Terrestrial Revolution and the origins of modern biodiversity
Biodiversity today has the unusual property that 85% of plant and animal species live on
land rather than in the sea, and half of these live in tropical rainforests. An explosive boost to …

Cancer risk across mammals
Cancer is a ubiquitous disease of metazoans, predicted to disproportionately affect larger,
long-lived organisms owing to their greater number of cell divisions, and thus increased …

Earth history events shaped the evolution of uneven biodiversity across tropical moist forests
Far from a uniform band, the biodiversity found across Earth's tropical moist forests varies
widely between the high diversity of the Neotropics and Indomalaya and the relatively lower …

Behavioral responses of terrestrial mammals to COVID-19 lockdowns
COVID-19 lockdowns in early 2020 reduced human mobility, providing an opportunity to
disentangle its effects on animals from those of landscape modifications. Using GPS data …
