Demographic and evolutionary consequences of hunting of wild birds
Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc. 2024 Feb 26. doi: 10.1111/brv.13069. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHunting has a long tradition in human evolutionary history and remains a common leisure activity or an important source of food. Herein, we first briefly review the literature on the demographic consequences of hunting and associated analytical methods. We then address the question of potential selective hunting and its possible genetic/evolutionary consequences. Birds have historically been popular models for demographic studies, and the huge amount of census and ringing data accumulated over the last century has paved the way for...

Freshwater megafauna shape ecosystems and facilitate restoration
Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc. 2024 Feb 27. doi: 10.1111/brv.13062. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFreshwater megafauna, such as sturgeons, giant catfishes, river dolphins, hippopotami, crocodylians, large turtles, and giant salamanders, have experienced severe population declines and range contractions worldwide. Although there is an increasing number of studies investigating the causes of megafauna losses in fresh waters, little attention has been paid to synthesising the impacts of megafauna on the abiotic environment and other organisms in freshwater ecosystems, and hence the consequences of losing these species. This limite...

Plant periderm as a continuum in structural organisation: a tracheophyte-wide survey and hypotheses on evolution
Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc. 2024 Feb 15. doi: 10.1111/brv.13064. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPeriderm is a well-known structural feature with vital roles in protection of inner plant tissues and wound healing. Despite its importance to plant survival, knowledge of periderm occurrences outside the seed plants is limited and the evolutionary origins of periderm remain poorly explored. Here, we review the current knowledge of the taxonomic distribution of periderm in its two main forms - canonical periderm (periderm formed as a typical ontogenetic stage) and wound periderm (periderm produced as a self-repair mechanism) - with...
