Fig. 18 in A review of the systematic biology of fossil and living bony-tongue fishes, Osteoglossomorpha (Actinopterygii: Teleostei)
Fig. 18. Historical biogeography of Osteoglossomorpha based on ancestral area analysis (AAA). Ancestral area estimates under the unconstrained model DEC+J using the time-calibrated Bayesian phylogeny of Osteoglossomorpha of Lavoué (2016) that combines molecular and morphological characters and extant and extinct taxa. Letters from A to F represent the regions (see above map) used for the biogeographical reconstruction: A (yellow), Afrotropics; B (green) Neotropics; C (red) Orient; D (orange) Australia; E (blue) Nearctics, F (pink) North-Eastern Palearctics (Cretaceous period). The geographical distributions of extant and extinct taxa are indicated. The most likely ancestral range is provided: ancestral ranges at nodes indicate the inferred ancestral distributions before speciation and ancestral ranges at corner positions represent geographical ranges immediately after speciation. Black and white pie charts above specific ancestral area reconstruction show the probability (white) of the corresponding reconstruction.

Data from: Live, dead, and fossil mollusks in Florida freshwater springs and spring-fed rivers: taphonomic pathways and the formation of multi-sourced, time-averaged death assemblages
Taphonomic processes are informative about the magnitude and timing of paleoecological changes but remain poorly understood with respect to freshwater invertebrates in spring-fed rivers and streams. We compared taphonomic alteration among freshwater gastropods in live, dead (surficial shell accumulations), and fossil (late Pleistocene-early Holocene in situ sediments) assemblages from two Florida spring-fed systems, the Wakulla and Silver/Ocklawaha Rivers. We assessed taphonomy of two gastropod species: the native <i>Elimia floridensis</i> (n=2504) and introduced <i>Melanoides tuberculata</i> (n=168). We quantified seven taphonomic attributes (aperture condition, color, fragmentation, abrasion, juvenile spire condition, dissolution, and exterior luster) and combined those attributes into a total taphonomic score (TT). Fossil <i>E. floridensis</i> specimens exhibited the greatest degradation (highest TT scores), whereas live specimens of both species were least degraded. Specimens of <i>E. floridensis</i> from death assemblages were less altered than fossil specimens of the same species. Within death assemblages, specimens of <i>M. tuberculata</i> were significantly less altered than specimens of <i>E. floridensis</i>, but highly degraded specimens dominated in both species. Radiocarbon dates on fossils clustered between 9792 and 7087 cal. BP, whereas death assemblage ages ranged from 10,692 to 1173 cal. BP. Possible explanations for the observed taphonomic patterns include: (1) rapid taphonomic shell alteration, (2) prolonged near-surface exposure to moderate alteration rates, and/or (3) introduction of reworked fossil shells into surficial assemblages. Combined radiocarbon dates and taphonomic analyses suggest that all these processes may have played a role in death assemblage formation. In these fluvial settings, shell accumulations develop as a complex mixture of specimens derived from multiple sources and characterized by multi-millennial time averaging. These findings suggest that, when available, fossil assemblages may be more appropriate than death assemblages for assessing pre-industrial faunal associations and recent anthropogenic changes in freshwater ecosystems.

Dataset for group living and duetting in barbet species
<p>The duets of birds have intrigued biologists for a long time, yet much remains unknown about the evolution of these striking collective displays. This is because previous studies on duet evolution have been biased to songbirds and neglected other bird groups. In songbirds, the absence of migration has been found to predict the occurrence of duetting, indirectly supporting the idea that duet communication is linked with pair-bonding. Here, we used phylogenetic comparative analyses in a sedentary clade of non-songbirds, the barbets (Capitonidae), to reveal new correlates of duet evolution in birds. We found (1) that duets evolved several times independently in different barbet lineages and (2) that duetting evolved in association with group living (i.e. the presence of helpers or non-breeding adults during the breeding period), but not with sexual monochromatism or habitat type. We conclude that the evolution of social systems has a major influence on the evolution of collective signalling such as duetting. When social living causes resource competition among group members or increases the risk of paternity loss, duetting by primary pairs would play a key role in signalling mate guarding and dominance against subordinate group members.</p>

Survival benefits of group living in a fluctuating environment
<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Group living is only predicted to arise when the fitness benefits outweigh the costs of sociality. Group-living species—including cooperatively breeding and family-living birds and mammals—occur most frequently in environments where climatic conditions fluctuate unpredictably from year-to-year. The fitness consequences of group living are thus expected to vary with changing environmental conditions, though few studies have examined this possibility. We examined whether living in large social groups improves adult survivorship in cooperatively breeding superb starlings (<i>Lamprotornis superbus</i>). We also tested the hypothesis that larger groups buffer against harsh conditions by increasing survivorship most under periods of low rainfall. We found that group size was positively correlated with adult survival, but in a sex-specific manner: female survival increased with group size across all environmental conditions, whereas male survival only increased with group size in wet years. Together with previous work in this system, our results suggest that larger groups confer survival benefits by reducing predation, rather than improving access to food or buffering against physiological stress. Although group living does not appear to buffer against harsh conditions in adult starlings living in a fluctuating environment, living in larger groups does confer a survival advantage. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

Plastics: "I'm Gonna Live Forever" - No.
<p>Plastic pollution is a major, pressing, global concern. Every year, coastal nations dispose 8 million tons of plastic waste into the oceans. This figure equates to setting five rubbish bags full of trash on every foot of coastline around the world. Millions of animals are killed and sickened by plastics every year, from birds to fish and other marine organisms. Plastic residues are found in nearly all species of seabirds. To address this global catastrophe, alternatives to fossil fuel-derived plastics must be developed and made cheaper and more accessible to all. There is a possibility that using plant-derived polysaccharides such as starch and pectin, and seaweed-derived carrageenan in food packaging might work after processing them into films. One inspiration for this is the food packaging made from seaweed, a concept that started in Indonesia. Plant-derived polysaccharides turned into food packaging can also be halal-certified, safe to eat, and nutritious, containing high fibre and nutrients. In addition, they are biodegradable, addressing the issue of plastics enroaching our most fragile ecosystems. These plant-derived films can also be turned into collagen for medical uses. One of the aims of this project is to devise, develop, and optimise environmentally safe and facile methods of producing edible and biodegradable food packaging material and collagen for medical uses from starch, pectin, and other plant-based polysaccharides derived from food wastes, and analyse their bio/physical properties.</p>
